  • 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.
