Patent attributes
Display driver circuitry for electro-optic displays, in particular active matrix displays using organic light emitting diodes. The circuitry includes a driver to drive an electro-optic display element in accordance with a drive voltage, a photosensitive device optically coupled to the electro-optic display element to pass a current dependent upon illumination reaching photosensitive device, a control circuit having a control line coupled to the driver to control the brightness of the electro-optic display element and having a current sense input coupled to the photosensitive device, a current set line for coupling to a reference current generator, and a display element select line to, when active, cause the control circuit to drive the electro-optic display element in accordance with the current set by the reference current generator. The circuit provides improved control of an electro-display element such as an organic LED pixel.
