  • Patent number: 11594182
    Abstract: The present invention provides a gate driver on array (GOA) circuit, a display panel, and a threshold voltage compensating method for a thin film transistor (TFT). The GOA circuit only includes five TFTs and achieves a super narrow bezel of a display panel, and uses a dual-gate electrode structure as the first thin film transistor (T1). Therefore, a threshold voltage (Vth) in the GOA circuit is controlled by a top gate (the top gate connected to a node in the GOA circuit) and a bottom gate (adjustable voltage source (VLS)). Specifically, when the Vth of the TFT negatively shifts overall, the bottom gate voltage can be adjusted negatively. When the Vth of the TFT positively shifts, the bottom gate voltage can be adjusted negatively to stabilize the GOA circuit, increase a lifespan thereof, reduce leakage of a first node (Q) such that the GOA circuit can output ultra-wide pulse signals.

  • Patent number: 11579706
    Abstract: A free space input standard is instantiated on a processor. Free space input is sensed and communicated to the processor. If the free space input satisfies the free space input standard, a touch screen input response is invoked in an operating system. The free space input may be sensed using continuous implicit, discrete implicit, active explicit, or passive explicit approaches. The touch screen input response may be invoked through communicating virtual touch screen input, a virtual input event, or a virtual command to or within the operating system. In this manner free space gestures may control existing touch screen interfaces and devices, without modifying those interfaces and devices directly to accept free space gestures.
