Abstract

A technique comprising: determining a correction to a drive voltage for the front plane common electrode of a first display device according to the result of one or more measurements of an optical property for the first display device and the result of one or more measurements of said optical property for one or more other devices including an optical medium having the same optical response as the first display device.

Claims (20)

1. A method, comprising:

determining a drive voltage correction for a front plane common electrode of a first display device having a display device design;

wherein the correction is determined according to:

(i) a result of one or more measurements of an optical property for the first display device and

(ii) a result of one or more measurements of said optical property for one or more other devices having said display device design.

2. A method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

determining from said measurements of said optical property for one or more other devices a relationship between a change in drive voltage for said front plane common electrode and a corresponding change in said optical property;

measuring said optical property for the first display device at a first drive voltage for said front plane common electrode; and

determining a correction to the first drive voltage on the basis of said relationship.

3. A method according to claim 2 , wherein said display device comprises a plurality of display pixels each controlled by a respective transistor including a gate electrode;

and said optical property is a variation in the luminance of one or more of said display pixels after switching the gate electrode from an on state to an off state.

4. A method according to claim 3 , wherein said variation in luminance is due to a mismatch between a voltage induced on said one or more display pixels and said drive voltage applied to the front plane common electrode.

5. A method according to claim 1 , wherein said relationship between a change in the drive voltage for said front plane common electrode and a corresponding change in said optical property is a linear relationship.

6. A method according to claim 1 , wherein said relationship between a change in the drive voltage for said front plane common electrode and a corresponding change in said optical property is a non-linear relationship.

7. A method according to claim 1 , wherein said first drive voltage is selected according to the result of a measurement of an electrical property for the first display device.

8. A method, comprising:

measuring luminance variation over time at different front plane common drive voltages for one or more display devices having a display device design;

determining from said measurements a relationship between a change in a front plane common electrode drive voltage and a corresponding change in luminance variation over time;

measuring luminance variation over time at a first front plane common electrode drive voltage for another display device of said display device design; and

determining on the basis of said relationship a correction to the first front plane common electrode drive voltage to minimize luminance variation over time for said another display device.
