Abstract

In this paper, we analyze application of amorphous Indium–Gallium–Zinc–Oxide thin film transistors (a-InGaZnO TFTs) to voltage-driven pixel electrode circuit that could be used for 4.3-in. wide video graphics array (WVGA) full color active-matrix organic light-emitting displays (AM-OLEDs). Simulation results, based on a-InGaZnO TFT and OLED experimental data, show that both device sizes and operational voltages can be reduced when compared to the same circuit using hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) TFTs. Moreover, the a-InGaZnO TFT pixel circuit can compensate for the threshold voltage variation (ΔVTH) of driving TFT within acceptable operating error range.
