Solid state emissive display with on-demand refresh
First Claim
1. A display device, comprising:
- a) a light controlling element;
b) a drive circuit connected to the light controlling element, the drive circuit including a transistor having a gate for controlling the signal applied to the light controlling element;
c) a first storage capacitor connected to the gate of the drive circuit transistor;
d) a control circuit for depositing charge on the first storage capacitor;
e) a refresh circuit connected to the control circuit and responsive to an external signal for causing the control circuit to deposit charge on the first storage capacitor; and
f) a feedback mechanism including means for measuring a change in a performance characteristic of the display device and for signaling the refresh circuit in response to the measured performance characteristic, whereby the display is refreshed on demand as opposed to periodically.

Abstract
A display device, including: a light controlling element; a drive circuit connected to the light controlling element, the drive circuit including a transistor having a gate for controlling the power applied to the light controlling element; a storage capacitor connected to the gate of the drive circuit transistor; a control circuit for depositing charge on the storage capacitor; a refresh circuit connected to the control circuit and responsive to an external signal for causing the control circuit to deposit charge on the storage capacitor; and a feedback mechanism including element for measuring a change in a performance characteristic of the display device and for signaling the refresh circuit in response to the measured characteristic, whereby the display is refreshed on demand as opposed to periodically.
