  • Patent number: 11170719
    Abstract: An enhanced pixel circuit for a display device provides separate compensation and data programming phases to permit minimization of the programming time. Variations in voltage supplies are accounted for by isolating the drive transistor from such power supply by using a second drive transistor configured as source follower relative to the first drive transistor. An on bias stress transistor is incorporated that can electrically connect the first drive transistor to the power supply during an on bias stress operation. During such operation, a voltage stress is applied to eliminate hysteresis effects associated with the drive transistor. The on bias stress operation may be performed as part of a refresh operation during which a data voltage is programmed to the pixel circuit, or as part of a low frequency operation during which a previously programming data voltage is maintained which reduces power consumption.

  • Patent number: 11127357
    Abstract: Techniques for implementing and/or operating an electronic device, which includes a display pixel that emits light to facilitate displaying an image during an emission period and a data driver coupled to the display pixel via a data line. The data driver generates a data line voltage signal based on image data that indicates target luminance of the display pixel in the image and supplies the data line voltage signal to the data line during a non-emission period preceding the emission period to facilitate writing the image to the display pixel. Additionally, the data driver supplies an intermediate voltage greater than a ground voltage to the data line during the emission period in which the image is displayed to facilitate reducing luminance variation in the image resulting from a leakage current flowing between an internal node of the display pixel and the data line during the emission period.
