A gain optical fiber doped with special ions is connected to the first optical fiber, and a light detector is provided around the gain optical fiber. When the laser with the first spectrum passes through the gain optical fiber, the gain optical fiber absorbs part of the energy level of the laser with the first spectrum, so that the laser with the first spectrum is converted to generate light with a second spectrum based on the frequency conversion phenomenon. The light detector detects the intensity of the light with the second spectrum, so that the power of the laser source can be obtained.

    Abstract: A display may include an array of pixels. A pixel can include an organic light-emitting diode, up to three thin-film transistors, and up to two capacitors. The pixel can include a drive transistor, an emission transistor, and a select transistor. The select transistor can be used to apply a reference voltage to the gate of the drive transistor during a global reset phase and during a global threshold voltage sampling phase and can also be used to apply a data voltage to the gate of the drive transistor during a data programming phase. The drive transistor can receive a power supply voltage that toggles between a low voltage during the global reset phase and a high voltage during other phases of operation. Configured and operated in this way, the pixel need not include separate dedicated anode reset and initialization transistors.

  • Publication number: 20240096784
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an integrated chip including an extended via that spans a combined height of a wire and a via and that has a smaller footprint than the wire. The extended via may replace a wire and an adjoining via at locations where the sizing and the spacing of the wire are reaching lower limits. Because the extended via has a smaller footprint than the wire, replacing the wire and the adjoining via with the extended via relaxes spacing and allows the size of the pixel to be further reduced. The extended via finds application for capacitor arrays used for pixel circuits.
