Displays with Reduced Temperature Luminance Sensitivity

Abstract:

A display may include an array of pixels. Each pixel in the array includes an organic light-emitting diode coupled to a drive transistor, a data loading transistor, a first capacitor for storing data charge, and a second capacitor. During a data programming phase, the data loading transistor may be activated to load in a data value onto the first capacitor. After the data programming phase, the second capacitor may be configured to receive a lower voltage, which extends a threshold voltage sampling time for the pixel. Configured and operated in this way, the temperature luminance sensitivity of the display can be reduced.
