Abstract

This paper proposes a novel gate driver circuit to realize high reliability using depletion mode a-InGaZnO thin-film transistors (TFTs). Using 3T1C circuit configuration, we prevented the leakage path for Q node by realizing gate-to-source voltage (VGS) under 0 V value. The proposed circuit can be operated when the VTH is shifted to-3 V from the initial value (VTH=-0.35 V). Also, the novel gate driver circuit with the AC driven pull-down units can maintain the almost same normalized value from-1 V to-3 V of the VTH shift range when compared to the results of circuit with the DC driven pull-down units. The proposed circuit can maintain the power consumption within 3.65 times of the normal value at-5 V threshold voltage value.
