Abstract
A method of voltage-programming a pixel circuit in a display panel to remove, before programming the pixel circuit, effects due to short-term effects such as caused by fast light transitions or effects due to previous pixel circuit measurements such as charge trapping. During a resetting cycle, the pixel circuit is programmed with a reset voltage value corresponding to a maximum or a minimum voltage value. Then, during a calibration cycle, the pixel circuit is programmed with a calibration voltage based on previously extracted data for the pixel circuit, a pixel current of the pixel circuit is measured, and the extracted data for the pixel circuit is updated based on the measured pixel current. Then, the pixel circuit is programmed with a video data that is calibrated with the updated extracted data. The pixel circuit is finally driven according to the programmed video data and emits a commensurate amount of light.
