Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012049000A1] The application relates to active-matrix display screens with light-emitting diodes, and in particular with organic diodes (AM-OLED). The display screen comprises an active matrix of pixels, each pixel comprising a light-emitting diode, a control MOS transistor for applying a variable voltage or current to the anode of the diode, a selection transistor for applying to the gate of the transistor, during a phase of writing of this pixel, a variable analogue voltage (Vdat) representing a relative level of luminance of the pixel in the image, a storage capacitor for maintaining this voltage on the gate of the transistor outside of the writing phase. A circuit for attenuating mean luminance comprising a switch (SW) for periodically linking one of the electrodes, preferably the cathode, of the diode to one or the other of two fixed potentials (VkM, Vkoff), and a circuit (CTRL) for controlling the switch so as to perform the switching with a duty ratio which varies as a function of the desired attenuation, the switching occurring during the blanking times.
