Abstract:
An output circuit of a semiconductor memory device includes a first data path, a second data path and a third data path. The first data path transfers a sense output signal, and latches the sense output signal to output the sense output signal to a first node. The second data path transfers the sense output signal, and latches the sense output signal to output the sense output signal to the first node. The third data path latches a signal of the first node, and transfers the signal of the first node to generate output data. Accordingly, the semiconductor memory device including the output circuit can operate at a relatively higher frequency using a pseudo-pipeline structured circuit, which combines a wave pipeline structure with a full pipeline structure.

The driving circuit and method can uniformly produce luminance of the light emitting element because the driving current is produced by compensating the unevenness of threshold voltage of the active device. Further, the variance of the threshold voltage Vth due to deterioration of the transistor produced according as the driving circuit of the OLED is utilized for a long time is also compensated, thereby increasing life of the display device which applies the driving circuit of the OLED.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of selectively depositing an organic semiconductor material and a method of manufacturing an organic semiconductor thin film transistor array. Since the thin film transistor array is formed by locally performing a plasma process on a substrate before depositing an organic semiconductor active layer on the substrate, the organic semiconductor material is deposited on only the organic semiconductor active layer having an island shape. Therefore, it is not necessary to use a shadow mask method or a photolithography method to manufacture an active matrix array. Accordingly, the present invention has advantages in that it is possible to obtain a high resolution thin film transistor array and to prevent characteristics of the thin film transistors in the array from being deteriorated.
