Abstract

This letter presents a stable compensation scheme for active-matrix organic light-emitting-diode (AMOLED) displays based on the observed strong interdependence between the luminance degradation of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and its current drop under bias stress. This feedback-based compensation provides 30% improvement in luminance stability under 1600 h of accelerative stress. To employ this scheme in AMOLED displays, a new pixel circuit is presented that provides on-pixel electrical access to the OLED current without compromising the aperture ratio.
