Patent ID: 8743160

Claim:
A method for driving an active matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display having organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) arranged in rows and columns, a pixel circuit for driving an OLED, a scan line for selecting the pixel circuits of each row and a data line for controlling the pixel circuits of each column and supply lines connectable to the anodes and cathodes of the AMOLED pixels, comprising: simulating pixel current distribution of an AMOLED display based on a dependence of at least one of an internal OLED capacitance and resistance of at least one or more of the supply lines, the columns and the rows of the AMOLED display; decomposing image data into plurality of binary subframes; generating binary subframe signals according to the decomposed subframes; activating an organic light emitting diode, based on a scan signal on the scan line and a generated subframe signal applied on the data line, allowing or blocking a current to flow via the supply lines through the organic light emitting diode; and connecting the supply lines to a voltage source for a duration correlated to a predetermined threshold value (ti) for the binary subframe.
