  • Patent number: 8581256
    Abstract: A pixel structure and its fabrication method are provided. The pixel structure includes a channel layer, a first patterned metal layer, a first insulation layer, a second patterned metal layer, a second insulation layer, and a pixel electrode. The first patterned metal layer includes a data line, a source, and a drain. The first insulation layer has a first opening exposing the drain. The second patterned metal layer includes a scan line and a capacitor electrode. The capacitor electrode has at least one first portion overlapping the data line. The second insulation layer has a second opening communicating with the first opening to expose the drain. The pixel electrode is connected to the drain through the first opening and the second opening and at least overlaps the first portion of the capacitor electrode.

  • Patent number: 8564584
    Abstract: An electrophoretic display with threshold voltage drift compensation functionality includes a gate driving circuit, a data driving circuit, a controller and a pixel array. The gate driving circuit provides plural gate signals according to a scan control signal. The data driving circuit provides plural data signals according to a data control signal. The controller is employed to provide the scan control signal and the data control signal. The pixel array is utilized for displaying images according to the gate signals and the data signals. Each of the gate signals includes a writing enable pulse for enabling write operations of the data signals during a writing period. And during a compensation period, each of the gate signals includes a compensation pulse for performing threshold voltage drift compensation operations on the data switches of the pixel array, and the data signals are set to hold a common voltage.

  • Publication number: 20130272044
    Abstract: An inductive power transfer (IPT) control method is disclosed for controlling the output of an IPT pick-up. The invention involves selectively shunting first and second diodes of a diode bridge to selectively rectify an AC current input for supply to a load, or recirculate the AC current to a resonant circuit coupled to the input of the controller. By controlling the proportion of each positive-negative cycle of the AC input which is rectified/recirculated, the output is regulated. Also disclosed is an IPT controller adapted to perform the method, an IPT pick-up incorporating the IPT controller, and an IPT system incorporating at least one such IPT pick-up.
