Publication number: 20150232447Abstract: The retrovirus designated human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), particularly the strains known as HIV type-1 (HIV-1) and type-2 (HIV-2), have been etiologically linked to the immunosuppressive disease known as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

Publication number: 20150235595Abstract: In a pixel circuit, during a period during which an organic EL element is not emitting light, a transistor is in an “on” state and a reverse-direction voltage determined by a reverse-direction current that depends on the degree to which degradation of the organic EL element has progressed is written to a capacitor. The transistor then turns off, another transistor turns on, and a compensating current that depends on the reverse-direction voltage flows from another capacitor towards a reverse-biasing power-supply line, causing a drive voltage maintained by the capacitor to change by a compensating voltage change. This makes it possible to minimize decreases in the emission luminance of an electro-optical element such as an organic EL element due to degradation thereof over time.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2013Publication date: August 20, 2015Applicant: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Toshinori Sugihara, Noboru Noguchi
