AN OLED DISPLAY WITH AGING COMPENSATION

摘要

a) a substrate; b) independently controlled light emitting elements formed on the substrate, the light emitting elements having an output that changes with time or use; c) active-matrix circuits formed on the substrate for driving the light-emitting elements wherein the performance of some portion of the active matrix circuitry is altered in response to incident radiation, and wherein an incident light absorbing or reflecting layer prevents light from irradiating the portion responsive to incident radiation; d) a current measuring device for sensing the total current used by the display to produce a current signal; and e) a controller responsive to the current signal for calculating a correction signal for the light emitting elements and applying the correction signal to input image signals to produce corrected input image signals that compensate for the changes in the output of the light emitting elements.
