  • Patent number: 11893967
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementations for LED display. A first signal is received that signals a timing for a next data transfer. In response to the first signal, a bit-based image block stored in a memory is transferred, via a bus connected thereto, to one of a pair of alternate buffers pointed to by a write buffer pointer, which is subsequently toggled to point to another of the pair of alternate buffers. A second signal is received that signals a timing for refreshing the LED display. In response to the second signal, the bit-based image block is retrieved from the one of the pair of alternate buffers pointed to by a read buffer pointer, which is then toggled to point to the other of the pair of alternate buffers. The lights of the LED display are then refreshed in accordance with control signals generated based on the bit-based image block.

  • Patent number: 11837165
    Abstract: From a back side of an insulating substrate 90, a laser beam is applied to a spot where an initialization line Vini is superimposed on the semiconductor layer SI that serves as a first conductive terminal of a second initialization transistor T7 while sandwiching an insulating film therebetween. Thus, a gate insulating film 91 and a first interlayer insulating film 92, which are sandwiched between the semiconductor layer SI and the initialization line Vini, disappear by evaporation, and a laser irradiation area LA of the semiconductor layer SI is connected to the initialization line Vini, by which a connection portion CP is formed. As a result, a voltage to be applied to the organic EL element OLED becomes equal to or less than a threshold voltage. Therefore, the organic EL element OLED is constantly in a lighting-off state, and the pixel circuit 11 is constantly kept black.

  • Patent number: 11837461
    Abstract: An object is to reduce leakage current and parasitic capacitance of a transistor used for an LSI, a CPU, or a memory. A semiconductor integrated circuit such as an LSI, a CPU, or a memory is manufactured using a thin film transistor in which a channel formation region is formed using an oxide semiconductor which becomes an intrinsic or substantially intrinsic semiconductor by removing impurities which serve as electron donors (donors) from the oxide semiconductor and has larger energy gap than that of a silicon semiconductor. With use of a thin film transistor using a highly purified oxide semiconductor layer with sufficiently reduced hydrogen concentration, a semiconductor device with low power consumption due to leakage current can be realized.
