The proposed circuit can compensate for the threshold voltage (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\text{V}_{\mathrm{ TH}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>) variation in a low-temperature poly-crystalline silicon thin-film transistor (LTPS TFT) and a VSS current-resistance (I-R) rise, to generate a stable driving current to power the mini-LED. Since the proposed circuit uses the PWM method, the mini-LED can be operated at the best luminance-efficacy point, minimizing the power consumption of the circuit. The electrical characteristic of fabricated LTPS TFTs are measured to establish a simulation model to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed circuit.
