Abstract
A method and apparatus for achieving an active matrix OLED display device which consists of a plurality of pixel devices with uniform luminance are described. Each of the pixel devices includes a driver unit to drive the OLED to illuminate and a compensation unit to adjust Vsg of the driver unit to compensate for the characteristic variations of the driver unit, thereby the luminance of the display device is less affected by the characteristic variations of the driver unit.

An apparatus for achieving an active matrix organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device with uniform luminance which consists of a plurality of pixel devices, each of the pixel devices comprising:
- a switch unit having two input ends and an output end, the two input ends connecting respectively to a data line and a scan line;
- a storage unit having one end connecting to a supply line and another end connecting to the output end of the switch unit;
- a compensation unit having two input ends connecting respectively to the supply line and the output end of the switch unit;
- a driver unit having two input ends and an output end, one input end connecting to an output end of the compensation unit and another input end connecting to a juncture of the output end of the switch unit and one input end of the compensation unit;
- and
- an OLED having an input end connecting to the output end of the driver unit and an output end grounded.
A method for achieving an active matrix organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device with uniform luminance which consists of a plurality of pixel devices, each of the pixel devices comprising a driver unit to drive the OLED to illuminate, the method comprising steps of:
- providing a compensation unit to adjust Vsg of the driver unit;
- and
- compensating for the characteristic variations of the driver unit to make the display device less affected by the characteristic variations of the driver unit.
