Organic light-emitting diodes have many advantages, such as high contrast, high reaction speed, self-luminous, high viewing angle, low power consumption, etc., is regarded as one of the next generation of potential flat panel display. However, the main reason why it has not yet been able to produce mass production is that the panel uniformity can not be improved and the life expectancy of component deterioration. The problem of panel uniformity is mainly driven by long-term driving of thin film transistor (TFT) in Pixel The problem of component life will be caused by varying degrees of drift; component deterioration of the life problem is driven by constant current density driven, the components of the internal light-emitting layer of electrons and holes continue to accumulate, making the effect of recombination luminescence deterioration, resulting in component degradation, and thus make the brightness decreased.

The front panel is composed of a light emitting diode (LED) and an optical receiver. The light emitting diode emits light to the object to be detected and receives the reflected light from the optical receiver. The object is judged by the intensity of the reflected light distance. In order to apply to different environments and background light, you need to do a special design of the circuit to do the background light to eliminate the action, and finally through the program to write algorithms and man-machine interface, calculate the coordinates of the object to be measured. The active pixel circuit is often used in complementary gold-oxygen semiconductor light sensor (CMOS SENSOR), as a light receiver (Photo Detector, PD) drive circuit, the main role is to detect the light sensor (3T-APS), the drawback of this circuit is that the output swing of this circuit is limited, and the output of the circuit is limited by the fact that the light intensity is converted to a voltage value and there is an advantage of increasing the resolution and reducing the alien noise. , The maximum value can not reach the upper limit of the bias.

Micro-electromechanical condenser microphones contain two main circuits, one for the center-point self-bias capacitor-to-voltage converter circuit, and the other for the amplifier. Among them, the amplifier is related to the characteristics of the signal in this paper, the beginning of the design of the general second-order operational amplifier, although the amplifier can smoothly amplify the signal, but at a fixed magnification, the different input swing and frequency, Corresponding to the ideal magnification under the signal is different.
