The invention relates to a method for adjusting the luminance of at least two subpixel units (S1, Sn, S1', Sn'), wherein each subpixel unit (S1, Sn, S1', Sn') comprises at least one subpixel (R, G, B, R1, G1, B1, R2, G2, B2) of a pixel (P) of an
active matrix organic light-emitting
diode (
AMOLED) display. The
AMOLED display comprises public mode subpixel units (S1, Sn) configured for display in a public mode and privacy mode subpixel units (S1', Sn') configured for display in a privacy mode. For each subpixel unit (S1, Sn, S1', Sn'), a
relative luminance loss (ΔL) is determined with respect to an initial luminance of the respective subpixel unit (S1, Sn, S1', Sn'). The most degraded subpixel unit (S1, Sn, S1', Sn') is determined as the subpixel unit (S1, Sn, S1', Sn') with the highest
relative luminance loss (ΔL).If the
relative luminance loss (ΔL) of the most degraded subpixel unit (S1, Sn, S1', Sn') exceeds a loss limit (G, G'), a dimming factor less than or equal to 100 percent is determined for each subpixel unit (S1, Sn, S1', Sn') such that the normalized luminance (LN) of the respective subpixel unit (S1, Sn, S1', Sn') multiplied by the dimming factor is equal to the normalized luminance (LN) of the most degraded subpixel unit (S1, Sn, S1', Sn'), but at least equal to a predetermined normalized luminance limit (LNG, LNG1, LNG2). Each subpixel unit (S1, Sn, St, Sn') is driven with a gray value and / or drive current adapted according to the respective dimming factor. If the relative luminance loss (∆L) of the most degraded subpixel unit (S1, Sn, S1', Sn') does not exceed the loss limit (G, G'), no subpixel unit (S1, Sn, S1', Sn') is adjusted with a dimming factor.
