  • Publication number: 20140369457
    Abstract: A shift register circuit includes a first pull-down control circuit, a first pull-down circuit electrically connecting to the first pull-down control circuit, a first inversed pulse signal coupling circuit outputting a first inversed pulse signal, a first pull-up circuit outputting a first gate control signal, and a first main pull-down circuit electrically connecting to the first pull-up circuit. The first pull-up circuit receives a first driving signal and a first pulse signal to output the first gate control signal. The first inversed pulse signal coupling circuit duly outputs the first inversed pulse signal to compensate a surge occurring in the first driving signal.

  • Patent number: 8007060
    Abstract: A slide assembly includes an outer slide, a blocking member mounted on the outer slide, an inner slide slidably attached to the outer slide, a sliding block slidably mounted on the inner slide, and a long bar slidably attached to an inner side of the inner slide. A groove is defined in the blocking member. The sliding block is inserted in the groove to fix the inner slide on the outer slide. A slanted protrusion extends from the long bar. When the long bar is pulled towards a first direction, the slanted protrusion pushes the sliding block. The sliding block moves towards a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction to disengage the inner slide from the outer slide.

  • Publication number: 20040075628
    Abstract: A double-side display device mainly employs the advantage of the transparent cathode that enables an OLED display device to illuminate on two sides concurrently or adopts a novel design for a conventional single side display OLED such that only one driving module is needed to output signals to display the same picture on the positive (anode) side and the negative (cathode) side concurrently. While the displayed pictures and characters are inverse in terms of the left and the right directions, they may be controlled and rectified through software. Thus on the same OLED display panel, two large display zones may be designed and setup to display on the positive (anode) side and the negative (cathode) side.
