METHOD FOR GRAYSCALE RENDITION IN AN AM-OLED

摘要

The present invention relates to a grayscale rendition method in an active matrix OLED (Organic Light Emitting Display) where each cell of the display is controlled via an association of several Thin-Film Transistors (TFTs). In order to improve the grayscale rendition in an AM-­OLED when displaying low grayscale levels and/or when displaying moving pictures, it is proposed to split each frame into a plurality of subframes wherein the amplitude of the data signal applied to a cell of the AM-OLED can be adapted to conform to the visual response of a CRT display. According to the invention, the video frame used for displaying an image is divided into N consecutive subframes, with N>=2, and the data signal applied to the cell comprises N independent elementary data signals, each of said elementary data signals being applied to the cell during a subframe. The grayscale level displayed by the cell during the video frame is depending on the amplitude of the elementary data signals and the duration of the subframes.
