  • Patent number: 8456408
    Abstract: A shift register includes multiple stages each generating a scan signal at an output terminal and including a level pull-up circuit, a level pull-down circuit, a driving circuit and a level controlling circuit. The level pull-up circuit makes the scan signal equal a first clock signal in response to an enabled level of a first control signal. The level pull-down circuit makes the scan signal equal a first voltage in response to an enabled level of a second control signal. The driving circuit controls the first control signal to be the enabled level and a disabled level in response to an enabled level of an input signal and the enabled level of the second control signal, respectively. The level controlling circuit controls the second control signal to be the disabled level and the enabled level in response to the enabled level and the disabled level of the input signal, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20130120342
    Abstract: An organic light emitting diode (OLED) pixel circuit is provided by the invention. If a circuit configuration (5T2C) thereof collocates with suitable operation waveforms, a current flowing through an OLED in the OLED pixel circuit may not be changed with a power supply voltage (Vdd) influenced by an IR drop, and may not be varied with a threshold voltage (Vth) shift of a thin-film-transistor (TFT) configured for driving the OLED. Accordingly, brightness uniformity of an OLED display applying the same can be substantially improved.

  • Publication number: 20130069852
    Abstract: A pixel circuit related to an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) is provided. When signals having appropriate operation waveforms are supplied, the circuit configuration (7T1C or 5T1C) of the pixel circuit keeps the current flowing through an OLED unaffected by the impact of IR drop on a power supply voltage Vdd (or mitigates the impact of the power supply voltage Vdd on the current) and prevents the current flowing through the OLED from changing with the Vth shift of a TFT for driving the OLED. Thereby, the luminance uniformity of an OLED display adopting the pixel circuit is greatly improved.
