Patent number: 8427398Abstract: The present invention provides a novel structure of picture elements in current programming-type semiconductor devices, and in particular, the structure of picture elements of an active matrix organic light emitting diode (OLED) display. The device makes a self-compensation for OLED current deviations due to the deterioration in threshold voltage and uneven electric characteristic in thin film transistors. The invention also provides a method for driving a data driver capable of compensating for the uneven electric characteristic of thin film transistors in the driver for driving picture elements in the current programming-type active matrix OLED display device.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2006Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Seoul National University Industry FoundationInventors: Min-Koo Han, Jae-Hoon Lee, Woo-Jin Nam

Patent number: 8411046Abstract: Column organization of content is described. In an implementation, a mobile communications device configures a user interface to include a plurality of representations of content arranged according to a plurality of columns that permits navigation between first and second said columns upon detection of a gesture input via a touchscreen of the mobile communications device. The user interface is displayed on a display device of the mobile communications device. The first column is configured for vertical navigation through each of the plurality of representations and the second column includes a filtered subset of the plurality of representations such that at least one of the representations is included in the first column and not the second column.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2009Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Michael J. Kruzeniski, Paula Guntaur, Brian M. Wilson, Chad Aron Voss
