© 2005-2012 IEEE. A new accurate voltage-programmed pixel circuit for active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays is presented. Composed of three TFTs and one storage capacitor, the proposed pixel circuit is implemented both in a-Si and a-IGZO TFT technologies for the same pixel size for fair comparison. The simulation result for the a-Si-based design shows that, during a programming time of {\hbox{90}}μ \hbox{s} , the pixel circuit was able to compensate for a 3 V threshold voltage (V\rm th) shift of the drive TFT with almost no error. In contrast, the a-IGZO-based pixel circuit, has a larger current error (of around 8%), despite its proven three-fold higher speed.
