Abstract

In this paper, we designed a pixel circuit for AMOLED display based on organic thin film transistors and analyzed the operation with SPICE simulation. First, we theoretically designed the pixel circuit with the result of layout for fabricating $32\times32$ AMOLED panel, TFT W/L and capacitance of storage capacitor. And we simulated the designed pixel circuit using HSPICE for analyzing electrical performance. As a result of simulation, we identified the possibility of AMOLED display based on OTFTs.

본 논문에서는 OTFT를 기반으로 하는 AMOLED 디스플레이 구현을 위해 두 개의 OTFT와 하나의 캐패시터 그리고 하나의 OLED로 구성된 화소 회로를 설계하였고 그 동작을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 분석하였다. 먼저, 화소 회로를 이론적으로 설계하였고, $32\times32$ AMOLED 패널을 제작하기 위한 화소의 Layout을 설계하고 TFT W/L과 저장 캐패시터의 용량을 설계하였다. 그리고 설계된 화소 회로의 전기적 특성을 분석하기 위해 HSPICE 시뮬레이션 하였다 시뮬레이션 결과 OTFT 기반의 AMOLED 구현 가능성을 확인하였다.
