摘要
A reliable driving scheme that can compensate for the inherent instability of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin film transistors (TFTs) is essential for implementation of large-area devices including displays and sensor arrays for bio-imaging applications. In particular, for high precision and high-resolution devices, the technique should be accurate and fast. A new driving scheme is presented that enables control of the DC and transient shift in the threshold voltage (V-T) and gate voltage of drive/amplifier TFT, while fulfilling the timing requirements for the different applications. The transient shift in the gate voltage has been known to contribute as much as 10% error in controlling the DC shift in the VT whereas it is less than 0.5% for the driving scheme presented here.
