Abstract

A novel data driver for passive matrix organic lightemitting devices (PM-OLEDs) with high gray scale images was designed. The proposed circuit consisted of a main current bias circuit as well as sample & hold circuits in each channel of the data driver to compensate a current offset. These results indicate that a data driver designed by using the current offset compensation technique holds promise for poten tial applications in PM-OLED displays with high gray scale images.
