Abstract

See full text

A circuit and driving technique to improve the display resolution of an AMOLED display. Sharing of switch transistors between several sub-pixels in the display leads to improved manufacturing yield by minimizing the number of transistors used. The method also allows for conventional sequential scan driving to be used. The circuit includes a shared switch transistor connected between a voltage data line and a shared line that is connected to a reference voltage through a reference voltage transistor, a first pixel including a first light emitting device configured to be current driven by a first drive circuit connected to the shared line through a first storage device, a second pixel including a second light emitting device configured to be current driven by a second drive circuit connected to the shared line through a second storage device, and a reference current line configured to apply a bias current to the first and second drive circuits.
