Abstract: A monitor's OSD can be selectively controlled with a keyboard, mouse or other human interface device. A microcontroller of a keyboard, mouse or other human interface device can be configured to detect the occurrence of input representing an OSD command. In response, the microcontroller can commence sending input to the monitor rather than to the computing device so that the input can control the OSD. Similarly, a filter driver on the monitor can be configured to detect the occurrence of input representing the OSD command. In response, the filter driver can commence sending input to the monitor's scalar rather than to the computing device.

Abstract: A pixel circuit for driving a light-emitting device for a display device is operable in an initialization phase, a compensation phase, a data programming phase, and an emission phase. The one horizontal time is minimized while maintaining accurate compensation of the threshold voltage of the drive transistor, and the pixel circuit further employs a varactor to compensate for variations in the threshold voltage of the drive transistor and for parasitic capacitances that arise within the pixel circuit. A capacitance of the varactor varies with a voltage at a node N1 constituting an electrical connection during the compensation phase of the drive transistor, the light-emitting device, a storage capacitor, and the varactor. The use of the capacitance variation of the varactor accounts for a variation in the threshold voltage of the drive transistor and for parasitic capacitances in the pixel circuit. The varactor may be implemented as a thin film transistor that operates as a variable capacitor.
