Zusammenfassung:— Early loss of image uniformity has been a critical drawback of active‐matrix organic light‐emitting‐diode (AMOLED) displays operated in time‐ratio gray‐scale mode. This problem is addressed with an analog calibration technique which measures the voltage across each OLED for a given current and subsequently controls the supply voltage of pixels and the voltage drop across the driving th in‐film transistor (TFT) of each OLED. The uniformity of test cells, which were aged to produce image sticking in a chessboard pattern, were improved. A measure of image sticking, called the extracted image‐sticking value (EISV), was formulated, which is developed and used for the quantitative evaluation of the calibration method. OLED voltages over a range of about 0.35 V were compensated to produce more uniform OLED currents than those before aging. The variation of luminance associated with image sticking was reduced by about 40% for a full‐white image after between 2 and 10 hours of accelerated aging with a constant voltage of 8 V across an OLED.
