Abstract | In this paper, we present self-compensating current mirror-based pixel circuits, and analyze basic stability issues to provide a deeper understanding of circuit operation, and the impact of thin film transistor bias nonidealities, which can lead to the long-term (and gradual) instabilities in pixel drive current. The analysis also provides the circuit designer a means to tailor the pixel drive current stability to the long-term brightness degradation characteristics of the organic light-emitting diode. |
