Abstract: An organic electroluminescent display device connected by a blocking diode in series to an organic light-emitting diode (OLED). Each pixel or subpixel of the electroluminescent display device comprises an OLED, a blocking diode to prevent the OLED from being reversed biased, a rectification diode to isolate the column electrode from unselected rows and a capacitor as a memory device. The charge stored in each memory capacitor may be increased by the blocking diode in series with each OLED. A frame period of the display device is divided into sub-frames that have address and light emission periods. Current mode data programming is used to address the device in each sub-frame. A ramp waveform is applied to the row electrode during the light emission period, to cause the capacitor to discharge through the OLED and control the forward current level.

Abstract: The plasma display panel (PDP) cells are defined at the cross points of the electrodes and sustain discharges are provided in the cells by changing electrical potential of the sustain/scan and sustain electrodes with respect to one another. The sustain/scan and sustain electrodes are driven simultaneously substantially at opposite phase and between low and high electrical potentials with respect to one another thereby substantially eliminating electrical potential pulses from being induced on the data electrodes. Preferably, the PDP is divided into a plurality of display areas which are electronically independently controlled. Because electrical potential pulses are not induced in the data electrodes, in operation, while one display area is being addressed the remaining panel display areas are in sustain mode providing discharge pulses and producing light emissions.

Abstract: An organic electroluminescent display system comprising at least one organic-light-emitting diode (OLED), a zener diode in series to the organic light-emitting diode, a rectification diode, and a capacitor used as a memory device. During a frame period of the display device, there are address and light emission periods. A reverse bias voltage is applied across the organic light-emitting diode during the address period to prevent metal migration into the organic layers of the OLED. Current mode data programming is used to address the display device. During the light emission period, charge previously stored in selected capacitors during the address period supplies a forward current for the OLEDs. A ramp waveform applied to the row electrode during the light emission period, forces the capacitor to discharge through the OLED and controls the forward current level. This keeps the operation of the OLEDs in their area of maximum performance.

Abstract: A system and method for driving a plasma display panel are provided. The method includes scanning a current display line to selectively store charge quantities on selected pixels defined along a first row electrode at cross-points of corresponding column electrodes. A priming voltage pulse is applied between the first row electrode and a second row electrode to cause a priming discharge between the first and second row electrodes. The priming discharge is capable of priming a different display line proximate to the current display line. The system includes driver circuitry for scanning a current display line, and for applying the priming voltage pulse to cause the priming discharge to prime a different display line proximate to the current display line.
