Abstract: A demultiplexer gate driver circuit and a display panel are provided. The demultiplexer gate driver circuit aims at the problem that the output amplitude of the m sub-gate drive signals divided from the gate drive signal by the demultiplexer module is low, which results in a poorer All Gate On function, when the GOA circuit of the demultiplexer module is used to achieve the All Gate On function. The full-on control module is improved by connecting the full-on control module to the m sub-gate drive signals divided from the gate drive signal. The m sub-gate drive signals are directly controlled by the full-on control module to output the high potential at the same time, and there is only one threshold voltage consumption from the full-on control signal to the sub-gate drive signals. The effect of the All Gate On function is effectively improved.

Abstract: Images of an eye are captured by a camera. For each of the images, gaze data is obtained and a position of a pupil center is estimated in the image. The gaze data indicates a gaze point and/or gaze direction of the eye when the image was captured. A mapping is calibrated using the obtained gaze data and the estimated positions of the pupil center. The mapping maps positions of the pupil center in images captured by the camera to gaze points at a surface, or to gaze directions. A further image of the eye is captured by the camera. A position of the pupil center is estimated in the further image. Gaze tracking is performed using the calibrated mapping and the estimated position of the pupil center in the further image. These steps may for example be performed at a HMD.
