Abstract
A driving circuit for an image point of an image screen which has an organic light-emitting diode includes a capacitor, a feedback coupling, a first thin film transistor as a current-driving transistor for the diode, a second transistor which is connected by a current-conducting electrode with a gate of the first transistor and by a second current-conducting electrode with a data conductor and by its gate electrode with a scanning signal conductor, a third thin film transistor which during driving its gate through a driving conductor taps a diode driving current and an output of the first transistor and supplies a current measuring- and voltage regulating circuit, the current measuring- and voltage regulating circuit providing to the data conductor a voltage signal which is dependent on a current measuring result and a voltage comparison, so that the diode during driving of the gate of the third transistor due to its non-linear switching characteristic acts as a switch for a current deviation in the current measuring- and voltage regulating circuit.
