Organic thin-film transistors modeling; simulation and design of a fully organic AMOLED pixel circuit

Abstract

In this paper we implement the simulation and design of a fully organic AMOLED pixel in which OLED current driving and pixel selection is performed by organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs). An empirical SPICE-like OTFT model has been developed. A pixel with sandwich structure in which the OLED is deposited on top of the rest of the circuit has been simulated and designed.

OTFTs compact models: analysis, comparison, and insights

“…OTFTs are replaced by their compact models in different CAD simulators [21,22]. A compact model means the mathematical representations that practically reproduce the electrical characteristics of an OTFT [23][24][25][26]. Compact models must satisfy some requirements that will be discussed later [27].…”

Fully-Additive Printed Electronics: Transistor model, process variation and fundamental circuit designs

“…Furthermore, at this juncture, despite several reported printed transistor models [17][18][19][20][21][22][23], an accurate model for printed transistors remains lacking where reported models have three major shortcomings. First, the effect of transistor channel length on the carrier mobility is not modeled.…”

Printed electronics : analog and digital signal processing

“…This process is not only uniquely capable of printing the semiconductor of transistors Furthermore, at this juncture, despite several reported printed transistor models [138][139][140][141][142][143][144], an accurate model for printed transistors remains lacking where reported models have three major shortcomings. First, the effect of transistor channel length on the carrier mobility is not modeledin reported models, the carrier mobility (µ) is assumed to be independent of channel length (L); in some designs, because the width of the transistor is extremely wide [145], a shorter L may be Triode Region: 0…”
