Abstract

An electroluminescent (EL) subpixel having a readout transistor is driven by a current source when the drive transistor is non-conducting. This produces an emitter-voltage signal from which an aging signal representing the efficiency of the EL emitter can be computed. The aging signal is used to adjust an input signal to produce a compensated drive signal to compensate for changes in efficiency of the EL emitter.
