A new current-programmed pixel circuit for active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays is presented. The pixel circuit consists of three switching thin-film transistors (TFTs)
one driving TFT
one capacitor and two control lines . Simulation results show that the pixel circuit can effectively compensate for the nonuniformity of the TFT threshold voltage and the shift of OLED threshold voltage. And the average nonuniformity of the emitting current is 4.63%. Compared with the traditional current-programmed pixel circuits
the connection mode of the capacitor in the pixel circuit makes the circuit works faster.Furthermore
the influence caused by the parasitic capacitor in the pixel circuit is analysed.
