20110130981 | SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR AGING COMPENSATION IN AMOLED DISPLAYS - Methods and systems to provide baseline measurements for aging compensation for a display device are disclosed. An example display system has a plurality of active pixels and a reference pixel. Common input signals are provided to the reference pixel and the plurality of active pixels. The outputs of the reference pixel is measured and compared to the output of the active pixels to determine aging effects. The display system may also be tested applying a first known reference current to a current comparator with a second variable reference current and the output of a device under test such as one of the pixels. The variable reference current is adjusted until the second current and the output of the device under test is equivalent of the first current. The resulting current of the device under test is stored in a look up table for a baseline for aging measurements during the display system operation. The display system may also be tested to determine production flaws by determining anomalies such as short circuits in pixel components such as OLEDs and drive transistors. | 06-02-2011 |

20130235023 | SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR AGING COMPENSATION IN AMOLED DISPLAYS - A voltage-programmed display system allows measurement of effects on pixels in a panel that includes both active pixels and reference pixels coupled to a supply line and a programming line. The reference pixels are controlled so that they are not subject to substantial changes due to aging and operating conditions over time. A readout circuit is coupled to the active pixels and the reference pixels for reading at least one of current, voltage or charge from the pixels when they are supplied with known input signals. The readout circuit is subject to changes due to aging and operating conditions over time, but the readout values from the reference pixels are used to adjust the readout values from the active pixels to compensate for the unwanted effects. | 09-12-2013 |
20130257845 | RESETTING CYCLE FOR AGING COMPENSATION IN AMOLED DISPLAYS - A method of voltage-programming a pixel circuit in a display panel to remove, before programming the pixel circuit, effects due to short-term effects such as caused by fast light transitions or effects due to previous pixel circuit measurements such as charge trapping. During a resetting cycle, the pixel circuit is programmed with a reset voltage value corresponding to a maximum or a minimum voltage value. Then, during a calibration cycle, the pixel circuit is programmed with a calibration voltage based on previously extracted data for the pixel circuit, a pixel current of the pixel circuit is measured, and the extracted data for the pixel circuit is updated based on the measured pixel current. Then, the pixel circuit is programmed with a video data that is calibrated with the updated extracted data. The pixel circuit is finally driven according to the programmed video data and emits a commensurate amount of light. | 10-03-2013 |
