  • Patent number: 9275569
    Abstract: A threshold voltage sensing circuit applied in a display panel includes a first sensor and a second sensor. The first sensor positioned in the display panel receives an operation signal at a regular time point after start-up and continuously receives multiple driving signals which are the same as those received by the pixel circuits of the display panel and outputs a first output voltage accordingly. The second sensor positioned in the display panel receives the driving signals at a regular time point after start-up and outputs a second output voltage accordingly. When the voltage difference between the first output voltage and the second output voltage is beyond a variation standard, the low level of the gate voltage of the pixel circuit is adjusted.

  • Patent number: 9068729
    Abstract: A lamp including a light source, a reflective unit and a light modulation module is provided. The light source provides an illuminating light, and the reflective unit reflects the illuminating light. The light modulation module is disposed between the light source and the reflective unit. In the light modulation module, a region where movable light absorbing materials exist is a light absorbing region, and a region where the movable light absorbing materials are absent is a light penetration region. By applying different electrical fields to the movable light absorbing materials, sizes and locations of the light absorbing region and the light penetration region can be changed. A portion of the illuminating light irradiating the light penetration region penetrates through the light penetration region, is transmitted to the reflective unit, being reflected by the reflective unit, and penetrates through the light penetration region again sequentially.
