Patent number: 8836615Abstract: The present invention relates to a circuit for controlling a light emitting element, in particular an organic light emitting diode. The circuit comprises a capacitor connectable with the light emitting element, charging means for charging the capacitor and a switching means. The switching means is adapted to alternately disconnect the capacitor from the light emitting element and connect the capacitor to the light emitting element. The capacitor is alternately charged and discharged. A charging current or a discharge current from the capacitor drives the current of the light emitting element. Said charging means comprises at least one charging transistor for charging the capacitor.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2007Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Thomson Licensing LLCInventors: Heinrich Schemmann, Philippe Le Roy, Gunther Haas

Patent number: 8749596Abstract: A pixel with variable chromatic coordinates comprises a plurality of color sub-pixels consisting of a light emitter and a color filter. The light emitters are identical and have an emission spectrum that is able to be modulated according to their supply voltage and/or current. The pixel control circuit supplies each color sub-pixel with a supply voltage and/or current dependent on the color of the sub-pixel for its emission spectrum to approximate the transmission spectrum of the associated color filter. Control means enable the application time of the supply voltage and/or current to be modified according to the color of the sub-pixel to obtain a predetermined mean luminance during a predetermined period.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2009Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Commissariat a l'energie Atomique et aux Energies AlternativesInventors: Gunther Haas, David Vaufrey, Olivier Billoint
