Abstract

A method of compensating luminance of an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) operated with a transistor in a pixel cell of a display panel includes measuring a first parameter of the transistor and a parameter of the OLED, and generating a lookup table accordingly; converting original display data to target display data according to the lookup table; outputting the target display data to the pixel cell; and compensating a second parameter of the transistor when the target display data is received by the pixel cell.

Claims (17)

1. A method of compensating luminance of an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) operated with a transistor in a pixel cell of a display panel, comprising:

measuring an electronic mobility and an oxide capacitance of the transistor and a luminous efficiency of the OLED, and generating a first lookup table comprising information for compensating the electronic mobility and the oxide capacitance of the transistor without compensating a threshold voltage of the transistor and a second lookup table comprising information for compensating the luminous efficiency of the OLED;

converting original display data to target display data according to the first lookup table and the second lookup table;

outputting the target display data to the pixel cell; and

compensating the threshold voltage of the transistor when the target display data is received by the pixel cell;

wherein the compensation of threshold voltage is an internal compensation performed by the pixel cell.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of converting original display data to target display data according to the first lookup table and the second lookup table comprises:

performing a transistor compensation to allow a voltage mismatch existing between a voltage value of the transistor and a target voltage value, wherein the voltage mismatch is within a specific range that is able to be dealt with by compensating the threshold voltage.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first lookup table and the second lookup table indicate a compensation value for converting the original display data to the target display data.

4. A display system, comprising:

a display panel, comprising a plurality of pixel cells, each of which comprising an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) operated with a transistor;

an external compensation module, for measuring an electronic mobility and an oxide capacitance of the transistor and a luminous efficiency of the OLED, and generating a first lookup table comprising information for compensating the electronic mobility and the oxide capacitance of the transistor and a second lookup table comprising information for compensating the luminous efficiency of the OLED; and

a controller, for converting original display data to target display data according to the first lookup table and the second lookup table, and outputting the target display data to one of the plurality of pixel cells;

wherein the threshold voltage of the transistor is compensated when the target display data is received by the pixel cell;

wherein the compensation of the threshold voltage is an internal compensation performed by the pixel cell.

5. The display system of claim 4 , wherein the controller performs a transistor compensation to allow a voltage mismatch existing between a voltage value of the transistor and a target voltage value, wherein the voltage mismatch is within a specific range that is able to be dealt with by compensating the threshold voltage.

6. The display system of claim 4 , wherein the first lookup table and the second lookup table indicate a compensation value for converting the original display data to the target display data.
