P‐6.17: Design of Compact A‐PWM Gate Driver Based on LTPS TFTs for Progressive‐Mode μLED Displays

Abstract

A compact gate driver using p‐type low‐temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) thin‐film transistors (TFTs) was proposed for Micro‐Light Emitting diodes (μLEDs) display using progressive emission analog pulse‐width modulation (A‐PWM) approach. The gate driver contains a simple waveform shaping module and outputs multiple sweep signals, including SW[n], EM[n], and S[n], by reusing the bootstrap node. Compared with conventional schemes, the proposed gate driver renders static power consumption reduction of the μLED display by 29.2%.
