Patent number: 6867619Abstract: A shift register includes at least one stage circuit that has at least three voltage control switches, a storage element, and a first clock signal, a second clock signal and a third clock signal to control various switches. Input signals are stored in the capacitor and sequentially transferred to the next stage. During transferring to the next stage, pixel switches of one row on the panel display are activated to receive information delivered from the data end for displaying on the pixels. The clock signals have the characteristics that the first clock signal, second clock signal and third clock signal are not at the same certain potential concurrently to prevent the switches of each stage (the second and third switches) from forming a DC path and burning out.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2003Date of Patent: March 15, 2005Assignee: Wintek CorporationInventors: Rui-Guo Hong, Chih-Chung Chien, Yen-Hua Chen, Shin-Tai Lo

Publication number: 20040263085Abstract: An organic light-emitting diode display device has a scan line layout that has different sizes of pixel areas depending on their scan line distance to control the display areas. For the line which has a shorter distance and lower voltage drop, the pixel display area is greater. On the contrary, the line which has a greater distance and greater voltage drop, the pixel display area is smaller. Therefore each display pixel has the same current density. Thereby the entire organic light-emitting diode display device has an uniform display brightness.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2003Publication date: December 30, 2004Inventors: Yen-Hua Chen, Shin-Tai Lo, Chih-Chung Chien
