Patent number: 11818912Abstract: A display may have organic light-emitting diode pixels formed from thin-film circuitry. The thin-film circuitry may be formed in thin-film transistor (TFT) layers and the organic light-emitting diodes may include anodes and cathodes and an organic emissive layer formed over the TFT layers between the anodes and cathodes. The organic emissive layer may be formed via chemical evaporation techniques. The display may include moisture blocking structures such as organic emissive layer disconnecting structures that introduce one or more gaps in the organic emissive layer during evaporation so that any potential moisture permeating path from the display panel edge to the active area of the display is completely terminated.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2019Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Tsung-Ting Tsai, Abbas Jamshidi Roudbari, Chuan-Sheng Wei, HanChi Ting, Jae Won Choi, Jianhong Lin, Nai-Chih Kao, Shih Chang Chang, Shin-Hung Yeh, Takahide Ishii, Ting-Kuo Chang, Yu Hung Chen, Yu-Wen Liu, Yu-Chuan Pai, Andrew Lin

Patent number: 9948961Abstract: A computer-vision based automatic inserting and playing method for advertisement analyzes a video for obtaining multiple shots of the video, and obtaining semantic information related to targets appearing in each shot and low-level information related to vision of each shot. Next, the method matches the semantic information and the low-level information of each two adjacent shots with other semantic information and other low-level information of candidate advertisements, so as to determine one or more insertion time points of the video, and one or more inserting advertisements respectively related to each of the insertion time points. The matching of the semantic information ensures the inserting advertisement and a front shot and a rear shot of the insertion time point are all related with each other, and the matching of the low-level information enhances visual fluency in playing and switching among the front shot, the inserting advertisement and the rear shot.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2017Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: VISCOVERY (CAYMAN) HOLDING COMPANY LIMITEDInventors: Chuan-Yong Wei, Chun-Chieh Huang, Shao-Hang Hsieh
