  • Patent number: 11294236
    Abstract: An electronic device may have a display with a backlight. The backlight provides backlight illumination for an array of pixels that is displaying images. The backlight may include an array of cells. Each cell may contain a light source with one or more light-emitting diodes and a cavity reflector that reflects light from the light source outwardly through a diffuser for use in forming the backlight illumination. The light sources may be mounted to a printed circuit. Support posts on the printed circuit may be used to maintain the diffuser at a fixed distance from the printed circuit. Sensors on the printed circuit may be used to measure separation distances between the printed circuit and diffuser. Adjustments to pixel gain profiles can be made based on the measured separation distances.

  • Publication number: 20220059018
    Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) display can calculate a common voltage charge of a line of pixels in the LED display, the common voltage charge comprising a difference between a first line of pixels and a second line of pixels. If the calculated common voltage charge exceeds a predetermined threshold, a toggle matrix can be generated for the line of pixels. The toggle matrix can include a matrix of charge values generated by calculating a difference in charge values for each subpixel a first line of subpixels with each subpixel a second line of subpixels. The LED display can identify one or more regions of subpixels exhibiting the predetermined toggle pattern in the toggle matrix. The LED display can generate a voltage correction charge to apply to affected regions of the display. Alternatively, the subpixels or pixels could be swapped with adjacent pixels to reduce toggling or settling error.

  • Patent number: 11253358
    Abstract: Disclosed in the present invention are a stent apparatus having a self-pleated skirt, a processing method therefor, a skirt pleating method, and a cardiac valve. The stent apparatus comprises a stent, and is further provided with a flexible skirt. The skirt comprises: an unfolded state, where the skirt extends axially and surrounds the periphery of the stent before release; and a stacked state, where the skirt is driven by deformation during release of the stent, and gathers and is stacked along an axial direction of the released stent to form an annular perivalvular leakage blocking part. The stent apparatus is further provided with a pull-wire which is merely threaded on the skirt, and the pull-wire may react to the radial deformation during the release of the stent to drive the skirt to enter the stacked state.
