Patent number: 11968659Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of scheduling for a UE. The method includes dividing M UEs into N groups, wherein a distance metric between each UE in a group and the center of the group does not exceed a first predetermined threshold, where M and N are positive integers; pairing the N groups, wherein a distance metric between centers of the two paired groups is greater than a second predetermined threshold; and in a case where there is a group paired with a group to which a first UE for which scheduling is to be performed belongs, scheduling transmissions in different directions respectively for the first UE and the second UE from the paired group on the same time-frequency resource. The present disclosure also provides a signal transmission method, a base station, a UE and a computer readable medium.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2019Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Chuang Zhang, Di Su, Peng Lin, Chen Qian, Bin Yu

Publication number: 20240038159Abstract: A display may have an array of organic light-emitting diode display pixels operating at a low refresh rate. Each display pixel may have six thin-film transistors and one capacitor. One of the six transistors may serve as the drive transistor and may be compensated using the remaining five transistors and the capacitor. One or more on-bias stress operations may be applied before threshold voltage sampling to mitigate first frame dimming. Multiple anode reset and on-bias stress operations may be inserted during vertical blanking periods to reduce flicker and maintain balance and may also be inserted between successive data refreshes to improve first frame performance. Two different emission signals controlling each pixel may be toggled together using a pulse width modulation scheme to help provide darker black levels.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Chin-Wei Lin, Shyuan Yang, Chuang Qian, Abbas Jamshidi Roudbari, Ting-Kuo Chang

Publication number: 20230284503Abstract: A display may have both a full pixel density region and a pixel removal region with a plurality of high-transmittance areas that overlap an optical sensor. Each high-transmittance area may be devoid of thin-film transistors and other display components. To improve transmission while maintaining satisfactory touch sensing performance, one or more segments of the touch sensor metal in the pixel removal region may have a reduced width relative to the touch sensor metal in the full pixel density region and/or one or more segments of the touch sensor metal in the pixel removal region may be omitted relative to the touch sensor metal in the full pixel density region. To mitigate a different appearance between the pixel removal region and the full pixel density region at off-axis viewing angles, the position of the touch sensor metal in the pixel removal region may be tuned.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2022Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: Ricardo A Peterson, Abbas Jamshidi Roudbari, Ashray Vinayak Gogte, Christophe Blondin, Sebastian Knitter, Warren S Rieutort-Louis, Yuchi Che, Yurii Morozov, Matthew D Hollands, Chuang Qian, Michael H Lim, Matthew J Schwendeman, Kenny Kim, Tsung-Ting Tsai, Yue Qu

Patent number: 11688363Abstract: An electronic device may include an electronic display including display pixels to display an image based on compensated image data. The electronic display may also include a stressed reference pixel to exhibit burn-in related aging in response to one or more stress sessions and a non-stressed reference pixel configured to not undergo the one or more stress sessions. Additionally, the electronic device may include image processing circuitry to determine a panel-specific aging profile based on a comparison between one or more properties of the stressed reference pixel and the one or more properties of the non-stressed reference pixel. The image processing circuitry may also generate one or more gain maps based on the panel-specific aging profile and generate the compensated image data by applying the one or more gain maps to input image data.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2021Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Maofeng Yang, Jiayi Jin, David A.

Publication number: 20220317820Abstract: Visibility of the metal mesh touch electrodes can be mitigated using one or more mitigation techniques. In some examples, the boundary between touch electrodes and/or the boundary between a touch electrode and a routing trace of another touch electrode and/or the boundary between two routing traces can be non-linear. In some examples, dummy cuts can be made within an area of a touch electrode region (e.g., while maintaining the same electrical potential for the touch electrode region). In some examples, notches can be made in the metal mesh. In some examples, the location of cuts and/or notches can be optimized to mitigate visibility of the metal mesh. In some examples, some or all of the visibility mitigations may be used in combination in a touch screen.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2022Publication date: October 6, 2022Inventors: Tiffany Tang MOY, Tsung-Ting TSAI, Warren S.

Publication number: 20210035499Abstract: Electronic devices may include displays having organic light-emitting diode pixels, display driver circuitry, and gate driver circuitry. To reduce the amount of space occupied in the inactive area of a display by the gate driver circuitry, one or more of the shift registers in the gate driver circuitry may include register circuits that are shared by multiple rows of pixels. Different drivers may use different clock frequencies to ensure synchronous operation of the display even when some register circuits share pixel rows. For increased flexibility in the arrangement of the register circuits in the shift registers, one or more of the shift registers may be split across the active area of the display. In some cases, one of the emission drivers may be omitted from the gate driver circuitry and a single emission driver may provide multiple emission control signals for the pixels.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2020Publication date: February 4, 2021Inventors: Chuang Qian, Tsung-Ting Tsai, Shyuan Yang, Cheng-Chih Hsieh, Abbas Jamshidi Roudbari, Ting-Kuo Chang, Shih-Chang Chang

Patent number: 10902777Abstract: A display driver is disclosed that reduces first frame dimming and flicker in light-emitting diode pixels of a display device. The display driver may receive a display brightness value and determine a value of a dynamic supply voltage parameter based on the display brightness value. Over a first time interval, the display driver may apply a supply voltage that is based on the dynamic supply voltage parameter to one of a gate of a drive transistor of a light-emitting-diode circuit and a channel of the drive transistor. Over a second time interval, the display driver may apply a parking voltage to an anode of a light-emitting diode of the light-emitting-diode circuit and to the channel of the drive transistor. The value of the parking voltage may be below a threshold voltage of the light-emitting diode and correspond to the value of the dynamic supply voltage parameter.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2019Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Ruo-Gu Huang, Kyung Hoae Koo, Michael H.
