Abstract

A new pixel circuit design for active matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED), based on the low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistors (LTPS-TFTs) is proposed and verified by SPICE simulation. Threshold voltage compensation pixel circuit consisting of four n-type TFTs, one p-type TFT, one additional control signal, and one storage capacitor is used to enhance display image quality. The simulation results show that this pixel circuit has high immunity to the variation of poly-Si TFT characteristics.
