Investigation of VTH Detection Methods for AMOLED Pixel Circuit Design with IGZO-TFT
excellent uniformity over large area and low manufacturing cost
indium gallium zinc oxide thin film transistor (IGZO TFT) is promising technology in promoting active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) into mass production. However
threshold voltage(
V
TH
) shift of IGZO TFTs still exists
thus AMOLED pixel circuit is required to compensate
V
TH
shift.
V
TH
detection method is essential in AMOLED pixel circuit design. This paper reviews typical
V
TH
detecting methods
namely the discharging method
charging method
and constant-current-biasing method. Simulations using Smart-Spiceare are carried out to compare the compensation efficiency. Also
the influences of
V
TH
detection time and TFT parasitic capacitance on different
V
TH
detecting methods are comprehensively analyzed. It is shown that the discharging method can not accurately compensate negative
V
TH
shift
the charging method requires the longest
V
TH
detection time
and the constant-current-biasing method has the highest compensation accuracy.
