摘要
In this letter, we describe a four thin-him-transistor (TFT) circuit based on hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si : H) technology, This circuit can provide a constant output current level and can be automatically adjusted for TFT threshold voltage variations. The experimental results indicated that, for TFT threshold voltage shift as large as similar to3 V, the output current variations can be less than 1 and 5% for high (greater than or equal to0.5 muA) and low (less than or equal to0.1 muA) current levels, respectively. This circuit can potentially he used for the active-matrix organic light-emitting displays (AM-OLEDs).
