A Simulation Study on the Flicker Analysis for the Poly-Silicon TFT-LCD

다결정질 Si TFT-LCD에서의 Flicker에 대한 Simulation 연구

We simulated and analyzed the flicker phenomena in the poly-Si TFT-LCD using PSpice for the development of wide-area and high-quality LCD display We define the electric quantity of flicker in the TFT-LCD, which is the ratio of half frame frequency (30Hz) to DC (0 Hz) frequency. We compared two different types of TFTs, excimer laser annealed (ELA) poly-Si TFT and silicide mediated crystallization (SMC) poly-Si TFT, and found that the ELA and SMC TFTs show different flicker characteristics because of their mobility and leakage current. In addition, we showed that the gate voltage should be chosen carefully at the minimum flicker because of the larger leakage current of poly-Si Tn as compared with a-Si TFT
