A method for reducing brightness uniformity variations in an active-matrix
OLED display employing amorphous silicon thin-film transistors, by
providing an active-matrix OLED display having amorphous silicon
thin-film transistors; and deriving a first correction value from a
measured or estimated value of light-emitting element performance.
Subsequently groups of light-emitting elements are identified, whereupon
one or more representative light-emitting elements are selected.
Remaining steps include measuring total representative current used by
the representative light-emitting elements for each predetermined group
of light-emitting element; deriving an estimated second correction value
from the first correction value, or the measured or estimated value of
light-emitting element performance, and the measured total representative
currents for each individual light-emitting elements; and employing the
estimated second correction value to correct image signals for the
changes in the output of the light-emitting elements and produce
compensated image signals.
