  • Patent number: 7068248
    Abstract: A single-chip column driver for organic light emitting diode (OLED) display is disclosed. Instead of using two column drivers for dual scan, the present invention uses one column driver driving both the upper and the lower OLED panels. The column driver has a two set of output circuitry: one for driving the upper panel and the other for driving the lower panel. The single chip solution of the present invention eliminates the problem of display uniformity without increasing the part count. The invention also enables independent control of RGB without further increasing the part count.

  • Patent number: 6008107
    Abstract: An integrated circuit device is fabricated upon a semi-conductor wafer by first forming a stop layer upon the surface of the wafer. Holes are formed through the stop layer and wells are formed in the semiconductor material of the semiconductor wafer below the openings. A dielectric layer is formed over the surface of the device substantially filling the wells and covering the stop layer. The dielectric layer is then planarized to substantially the level of the stop layer. A PAD oxide layer is provided between the stop layer and the surface of the semiconductor device. Conventional thin film oxidation of the wells and implants into the side walls of the wells are performed. An abrasive mechanical polisher is used to perform the planarization wherein the mechanical polisher is provided with the self-stopping feature when it encounters the stop layer.

  • Patent number: 5990514
    Abstract: A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device includes a plurality of floating gate type memory cell transistors having control gates. Word lines are integrally formed with the control gates, and boosting lines are self-aligned with the word lines. During programming, a first voltage is applied to a selected word line, and then a second voltage is applied to the boosting line over the selected word line. The voltage on the selected word line is then increased by capacitive coupling of the second voltage thereon, thereby programming at least one selected memory cell transistor. Therefore, a voltage lower than a program voltage is used on a selected word line, thereby reducing chip area and enhancing programming speed.
