  • Patent number: 12505788
    Abstract: A chip including: four connection pads receiving respectively a supply voltage, a reference voltage, a first data signal, and a second data signal; at least two pixels; at least two drivers, each driver being configured to control one of the pixels, the drivers being coupled in a sequence; each driver including a first input and a first output, the first output of each driver being coupled to the first input of the following driver in the sequence, each driver being configured, in a programing step, to be programmed by storing digital data from the second data signal, and, in a display step, to drive one of the pixels from the stored digital data and from the first data signal.

  • Publication number: 20250316209
    Abstract: A display pixel including at least one light-emitting diode, and an electronic circuit including a storage circuit for storing at least one digital signal and a driver circuit configured to drive said light-emitting diode by pulse-width modulation, in a first operating mode, by switching on or off said light-emitting diode during first different durations according to the logical states of the bits of the digital signal or, in a second operating mode, by switching on or off said light-emitting diode during second different durations, at least partly different from the first durations, according to the logical states of the bits of the digital signal.

  • Publication number: 20250265960
    Abstract: A display pixel including at least one light-emitting source and an electronic circuit including a storage circuit for storing at least one digital signal and a driver circuit for driving said light-emitting source based on stored digital signal, said display pixel including at least a first conductive pad intended to receive a first binary signal and a second conductive pad intended to receive a second binary signal, the first and second electrically conductive pads being connected to said electronic circuit. Said electronic circuit is configured to update said stored digital signal from the second binary signal after the detection of a first pattern of the first binary signal simultaneously with a second pattern of the second binary signal.

  • Publication number: 20250054424
    Abstract: A display pixel comprising at least one light-emitting diode, an electronic circuit for driving the light-emitting diode, and first and second conductive pads, the first pad being coupled to the light-emitting diode, the driving circuit being configured in normal operation to drive the light-emitting diode on the basis of first signals received on the second pad, the driving circuit comprising first and second modules, the first module being coupled to the first and second pads, and being configured to activate or deactivate the second module on the basis of the supply voltage received on the first pad and first signals received on the second pad, the second module being configured, when activated, to deliver second signals for driving the light-emitting diode for a test operation.

  • Patent number: 5876066
    Abstract: A carving ski pole for assisting a skier/snowboarder in balancing on and carving through snow. The carving ski pole comprises a first shaft member detachably coupled to a second shaft member. A first arcuate gliding member is coupled to the free end of the first shaft member and a second arcuate gliding member is coupled to the free end of the second shaft member. The first and second shaft members each also have extendible arms for lengthening the overall length of the carving ski pole.

  • Patent number: 5405161
    Abstract: The present invention relates to ski having a tip portion, a tail portion and a waist portion between the tip portion and the tail portion. In accordance with the present invention, the ski has a wider tip and tail than do conventional skis. This widening of tip and tail are coupled with an exaggerated "side cut" or curvature of at least in the inside edge of the ski. A ski according the present invention has an exaggerated tip between 1.5 to 2.25 times the narrowest point of the waist and an exaggerated tail with a ratio of 1.05 to 2.14 times the narrowest point of the waist.
