We have proposed a new driving method which improve the current stability of a-Si:H TFTs for AMOLED. It performs the negative bias annealing on driving TFTs during a certain period of a frame time. In the proposed method, the range of data signals is significantly reduced by modulating VSS.

A voltage-programming pixel circuit, which compensates the threshold voltage shift of TFTs and the degradation of OLED, is proposed for large sized a-Si:H active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) applications. Considering threshold voltage variation (or shift), OLED degradation and reverse bias annealing, HSPICE simulation results indicate that luminance error of every gray level is less than 0.4 LSB under the condition of +1V threshold voltage shift and from -0.2 LSB to 2.6 LSB within 30% degradation of OLED in the case of 40-inch full HDTV condition.

In order to reduce IR drop through common electrode in AMOLED, we propose a novel method to form electrical contact between highly-conductive bus lines and common electrode by using a plasma-assisted patterning of OLED layers and double deposition of the common electrode. Plasma-assisted patterning effects on OLED performance and degradation have been investigated. This patterning method caused turn-on voltage decrease, current flow increase at the same applied OLED voltages, quantum efficiency decrease, and rapid degradation at early stage during the lifetime test. However, comparable 70% luminance lifetime were obtained for both patterned and non-patterned OLEDs.

In this paper, we studied on the application of Organic Thin Film Transistors (OTFTs) to the active matrix organic light emitting diodes (AMOLED). We designed organic transistor based pixel circuits for AMOLED. The pixel circuit is consisted of two-transistor, one-capacitor and one-OLED. We report the simulation results of the pixel circuits that OLED current varied as the data line and scan line voltage. Also, we will describe the fabrication process of the Pentacene OTFTs arrays and the organic light emitting diodes. The driving results of the fabricated unit pixels and their 4x4 arrays are also presented.

Doosan DND, OLED manufacturing equipment maker, has developed the largest deposition system to produce $730{\times}920mm$ size AMOLED devices for the first time in the world. It is necessary for producing 40" AMOLED panels to develop the large-scaled vacuum technologies including ICP plasma, stretching glass chuck, organic deposition, metal deposition and hybrid encapsulation processes.

We fabricated the 3.5 inch QCIF AMOLED panel with ultra low temperature polycrystalline silicon TFT on the plastic substrate. To reduce the leakage current, we used the triple layered gate metal structure. To reduce the stress from inorganic dielectric layer, we applied the organic interlayer dielectric and the photoactive insulating layer. By using the interlayer dielectric as a capacitor, the mask steps are reduced up to five.

Advances in white OLED tandem architecture are discussed.With these structures, stable and low-power full color AMOLED displays can be fabricated that are anticipated to be suitable for large area applications such as TVs. With a tandem architecture, efficient (24 cd/A) OLED structures with exceptional stability (${\sim}100,000\;h$ at $1000\;cd/m^2$) are described. In addition, excellent color gamut (>100% NTSC) can be attained by incorporating advanced color filters into the AMOLED backplane in a typical bottom-emitting configuration.

This paper describes a novel current driving circuit for an active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED). The proposed current driving circuit has a lower power consumption and higher chip density for the AMOLED display compared with the conventional one because all elements operate at a normal voltage and are shielded from the high voltage of the panel. The chip size and power consumption of the current driving circuit for an AMOLED can be improved by about 30 to 40% and 10 to 20%, respectively, compared with the conventional one.

Here we describe a novel driving scheme in the form of negative AC bias stress (NAC) to compensate shift in the threshold voltage for hydrogenated amorphous silicon (${\alpha}$-Si:H) thin film transistor (TFT) for AMOLED applications. This scheme preserves the threshold voltage shift of ${\alpha}$-Si:H TFT for infinitely long duration of time(>30,000 hours) and thereby overall performance, without using any additional TFTs for compensation. We briefly describe about the possible driving schemes in order to implement for real time AMOLED applications. We attribute most of the results based on concept of plugging holes and electrons across the interface of the gate insulator in a controlled manner.

This paper proposes a luminance compensation method using optical sensors to achieve high luminance uniformity of active matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays. The proposed method compensates for the non-uniformity of luminance by capturing the luminance of entire pixels and extracting the characteristic parameters. Data modulation using the extracted characteristic parameters is performed to improve luminance uniformity. In addition, memory size is optimized by selecting an optimal bit depth of the extracted characteristic parameters according to the trade-off between the required memory size and luminance uniformity. To verify the proposed compensation method with the optimized memory size, a 40-inch 1920×1080 AMOLED display with a target maximum luminance of 350 cd/m² is used. The proposed compensation method considering a 4σ range of luminance reduces luminance error from ± 38.64%, ± 36.32%, and ± 43.12% to ± 2.68%, ± 2.64%, and ± 2.76% for red, green, and blue colors, respectively. The optimal bit depth of each characteristic parameter is 6-bit and the total required memory size to achieve high luminance uniformity is 74.6 Mbits.
