Abstract

A new current-programmed pixel circuit for activematrix organic light emitting diodes (AMOLEDs), based on Organic TFTs (OTFTs), is proposed and verified by SPICE simulations. The simulation results show that the proposed pixel circuit, which is a current mirror structure consisting of five Organic TFTs and one capacitor, has reliable linear characteristics between input current and output OLED current. Also, the threshold voltage degradation of Organic TFTs due to long time operation stress is well compensated to reliable values.
