Organic light‐emitting diode display pixel circuit employing double‐gate low‐temperature poly‐Si thin‐film transistor and metal‐oxide thin‐film transistors

Abstract An organic light‐emitting diode (OLED) display pixel circuit composed of a double‐gate (DG) low‐temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) thin‐film transistor (TFT) and metal‐oxide (MO) TFTs is reported. Two control lines used to initialize the gate‐to‐source bias (V GS ) of the driving TFT in the conventional pixel circuit are eliminated by modulating the bottom gate bias (V BS ) of the DG‐LTPS TFT. Low leakage current of MO TFT enables us to adopt the simultaneous‐emission scheme for arbitrary compensation time setting and 1‐Hz frame rate driving for low power consumption without flicker. The proposed circuit exhibits better compensation results and smaller area compared with the conventional low‐temperature polycrystalline silicon and oxide (LTPO) pixel circuit. The pixel density of 538 pixels per inch (ppi) has been obtained employing 2‐μm design rule.
