Summary: | A method for resetting drive transistors associated with subpixels in an electroluminescent display, comprising providing an electroluminescent display having a plurality of subpixels, each subpixel including an electroluminescent device and a drive circuit having a drive transistor for providing current through its associated electroluminescent device; providing a separate aging signal for each subpixel during operation of the electroluminescent display after a predetermined operating time period by responding as a function of the current passing through each of the subpixels or as a function of a voltage associated with each drive circuit; comparing each of the separate aging signals with a corresponding threshold level to produce a separate staleness signal for each subpixel representing whether or not the associated drive transistor should be reset; and resetting the associated drive transistors in response to staleness signals that indicate such drive transistors should be reset. |
