A pixel circuit comprises an organic light emitting diode (OLED), and a static memory for storing data that represents an operational state of the OLED. In alternative embodiments, a pixel circuit may include a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuit for controlling the OLED, a protection circuit for protecting the CMOS circuit from an over-voltage condition, and a current source with a field effect transistor (FET) having a static gate to source voltage that is greater than a threshold voltage of the FET.
