  • Patent number: 11371124
    Abstract: An Fe-based soft magnetic alloy is provided. The Fe-based soft magnetic alloy can be represented by empirical formula FeaBbCcCud, and in the empirical formula, a, b, c and d are atomic percent (at %) of the corresponding element and are respectively 78.5?a?86, 13.5?b+c?21 and 0.5?d?1.5. The alloy has a high saturated magnetic flux density, excellent high frequency characteristics and low coercivity, and thus greatly facilitates the development of use as high performance/high efficiency small/lightweight parts. Since manufacturing costs are very low and the components contained in an alloy are easily controlled in an alloy manufacturing process, thereby enabling mass production of the alloy, the present invention can be widely applied as magnetic parts of electric and electronic devices such as a high power laser, a high frequency power supply, a high-speed pulse generator, an SMPS, a high-pass filter, a low-loss high frequency transformer, a fast switch and wireless charging.

  • Patent number: 11289029
    Abstract: An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device includes a display panel including a plurality of pixels, and a panel driver configured to drive the display panel. The panel driver drives the display panel at a frame frequency corresponding to 1/N of an emission frequency such that each frame period corresponds to an N multiple of an emission period, where N is an integer greater than 1. The panel driver gradually decreases the frame frequency of the display panel in a case where input image data are not received and gradually increases the frame frequency of the display panel in a case where the input image data are received.

  • Patent number: 10909912
    Abstract: A display system includes a source device that outputs image-data and a sink device that performs a displaying operation based on the image-data. The sink device changes a frame-rate of a panel driving frame as the source device changes a frame-rate of an image frame. The sink device sets a first clock cycle starting point at which a first clock cycle of an emission on-off clock starts as a scan starting point of the panel driving frame when the first clock cycle starting point is consistent with an input starting point of image frame data. The sink device moves the input starting point to a second clock cycle starting point, at which a second clock cycle following the first clock cycle starts, and sets the second clock cycle starting point as the scan starting point when the first clock cycle starting point is inconsistent with the input starting point.
