Patent ID: 8624874

Claim:
A method of sensing an output value of a photo sensing element through a driving transistor, the method comprising: gathering energy from light at the photo sensing element; after the gathering of energy from light at the photo sensing element, initializing a data line configured to receive an output of the driving transistor, to a first voltage; after the initializing of the data line to the first voltage, detecting a first output of the driving transistor in a first mode corresponding to the gathering of energy from light at the photo sensing element; after the detecting of the first output of the driving transistor, reinitializing the data line to the first voltage and initializing the photo sensing element; after the reinitializing of the data line to the first voltage and the initializing of the photo sensing element, detecting a second output of the driving transistor in a second mode corresponding to the initializing of the photo sensing element; and calculating a difference between the first output and the second output.
