- the squares are the memories, the corresponding programming line (eg: WO) and the corresponding readout line (eg: E0) being indicated for the memory circuit 10.
- the sense amplifier 20 is used, which according to FIG. 5 is present for each organic light-emitting diode 5.
- the readout amplifier 20 in this example consists of two negative feedback
- Inverters 21 and 22 which can be separated via two switch-forming transistors 23 and 24 from the electrical operating voltage supply (VSS and LVDD). Furthermore, the inputs and outputs of these inverters 21 and 22 are via two transistors 25 and 26 as
- Switch activation with the signal Pre
- Vpre pre-chargeable an electrical voltage Vpre pre-chargeable.
- the readout of the image information can thereby graphically illustrated, as shown in Figure 9, in three Phasenerfol-. These are the pre-charge phase (precharge), the charge phase (load) and the Emittierphase (Emit).
- the inverters 21 and 22 are disconnected from the operating voltage lines (LVDD and VSS). Thereafter, the nodes V Sense i n 27 and V Se nseout 28 are precharged to the electrical voltage V Pre .
- the memory circuit 10 to be read is activated via the corresponding switch (Emit), whereby the electrical voltage at node V Sen 27 is either raised in the direction LVDD (with stored high value) or lowered in the direction VSS (at low value).
- the readout tilts Amplifier 20 depending on the memory value in one of the two stable states, so that at the output V sen seout the negated signal from the previously read memory circuit 10 is applied and the stored value in the memory circuit 10 can be renewed simultaneously.
- the output of readout amplifier 20 activates driver circuit 30 for organic light emitting diode 5 and electromagnetic radiation (light) is emitted.
- Each bit memory is read out one after the other and the content displayed accordingly.
- the duration of the Emittierphase is different lengths.
- the actual image information is reconstructed by temporal integration of the emitted light in the eye of the beholder.
- the memory circuit 10 and the readout amplifier 20 of an organic light-emitting diode 5 consist exclusively of low-voltage transistors (N OS and PMOS transistors) and require two operating voltage lines LVDD and VSS.
- the third part of the entire organic light emitting diode circuit 5, the driver circuit 30, is shown in FIG. 10 in an exemplary embodiment.
- the driver circuit 30 consists of two low-voltage PMOS transistors M Drive 1 and M Sw i 2, a low-voltage NMOS transistor M NSw i 3 and only one middle or
- High-voltage PMOS transistor M MV 4 with a separate Tub connection requires only the operating voltage lines LVDD and VSS and a common supply for the cathode voltage V Ka method of the organic light emitting diodes 5 for the entire display.
- the peculiarity of this driver circuit 30 is the fact that V a method may be more negative than VSS (ground).
- FIG. 11 shows a second variant of a driver circuit 30 which can be used in accordance with the invention.
- an additional switch M G ff is formed with a further transistor 7, which is designed as a low-voltage PMOS transistor, and for switching off the respective organic light-emitting diode 5 can be used.
- the further transistor 7 is also in
- the entire display can be deactivated without losing stored image information.
- This deactivation function can be used, for example, if additional optical sensors (not shown) are integrated on the microdisplay chip and these are optically decoupled from the microdisplay (and the emitted light of the organic light-emitting diodes), as described in DE 10 2006 030 541 AI is described.
- optical sensors may e.g. Be cameras.
- V Dr i ve in connected to V. Sens e out of the readout amplifier 20 can be distinguished for two modes of operation of the entire circuit arrangement. If the electrical input voltage signal is switched to VSS (Low), the driver circuit 30 is activated. In this case, the transistor M NS "i 3 is high and the transistor Swi 2 is conducting and an electric current I OLED can pass from LVDD through the transistors M Dr ve 1, M SWI 2 and M M V 4 into the organic light emitting diode 5 flow. The size of the electric current depends on the electrical voltage
- V Dr iv e can be set over several decades.
- the linearity of the image representation is not affected, because the representation of color gradations / gray levels over the previously described
- Pulse width modulation can be realized.
- the driver circuit 30 When the input voltage signal is switched to LVDD (High), the driver circuit 30 is disabled. In this case, the transistor M Swi 2 has a high impedance and the transistor M NSw i 3 is electrically conductive.
- the transistor M NSWI 3 switches the node V SMV to VSS and protects the actual current source transistor M DriV e 1 and the transistor M Sw i 2 from electrical overvoltages (in this case voltages less than VSS).
- electrical overvoltages in this case voltages less than VSS.
- V anode - V Kat hode The voltage difference over the organic light-emitting diode 5 (V anode - V Kat hode) is so small ner than the 5 electrical voltage applied to the organic light emitting diode in electric current river, because the electric voltage V An0 de voltage V Ka Thode approaches.
- a special case for operation is when the electrical voltage V Dr ve is switched to VSS.
- the transistor Dr i ve 1 operates as a switch and the driver circuit 30 operates as a voltage source for the organic
- the driver circuit 30 can therefore be used both as an electrical current and as a voltage source.
- the driver circuit 30 can drive a maximum electrical voltage difference across the organic light emitting diode 5, ranging from 0 volts in the off state to (LVDD - V Ka method) in the on state. In doing so, the electrical voltage may
- Transistor M MV 4 be.
- CMOS technology and the corresponding medium-voltage / high-voltage option
- a voltage swing of 5 V up to 15 V at the organic light-emitting diode 5 can thus be realized from the switched-on state.
