100 dpi 4-a-Si:H TFTs active-matrix organic polymer light-emitting display

In this paper, we report on 100 dpi four hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin-film transistors (4-a-Si:H TFTs) active-matrix organic polymer light-emitting display (AM-PLED). For this display, we have established the operational limitation of our 4-a-Si:H TFTs pixel electrode circuit by performing a load line analysis. Combining this result with the extracted pixel organic polymer light-emitting device (PLED) characteristics, we have found that the change of the AM-PLED pixel operating point, especially of a driving TFT, limits the operational range of AM-PLED pixel. The predicted results are compared with the measured data of 100 dpi monochromatic red light-emitting 4-a-Si:H TFTs AM-PLED. For our AM-PLED, we obtained luminance up to /spl sim/20 cd/m/sup 2/ and Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage color coordinates of (0.67, 0.33), which are calculated from the measured AM-PLED electroluminescence spectrum.
