  • Patent number: 11074864
    Abstract: A pixel circuit compensates the threshold voltage variations of the drive transistor with an ultra-short one horizontal (1H) time, with additionally removing the possible memory effects associated with the light-emitting device and the drive transistor from the previous frame. An ultra-short 1H time (<2 ?s) is achieved via separation of threshold compensation of the drive transistor and data programming phases. The pixel circuit has a two-capacitor configuration, whereby a first capacitor is used for drive transistor threshold compensation, and a second capacitor is used to store the data voltage during a data pre-loading phase. Two transistors are employed to electrically connect the gate of the drive transistor to the second capacitor that stores the data voltage, wherein each transistor in this dual transistor configuration is controlled by a different control signal.
