Abstract: A splicing screen includes a connecting plate and two sub-displays. The sub-display screens include gate signal lines, data lines, and first pads, each of which is electrically connected to a data line or a gate signal line. The connecting plate is arranged on one side of the sub-display screen facing away from a light-emitting side thereof. Two first pads connected to the data lines or gate signal lines of two sub-display screens that are spliced are connected in pair by the connecting plate. By utilizing pads and the connection plate to achieve a communication between the signal lines in the sub-display screens without needing, a drive circuit at an edge of each sub-display screen, a width of the non-display area at the splicing slit is reduced. The first pads are provided at one side of the sub-display screen facing the connecting plate, which reduces the width of the splicing slit.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems of a radar system with modified orthogonal linear antenna subarrays and an angle-finding module. The described radar system includes a first one-dimensional (1D) (e.g., linear) subarray; a second 1D subarray positioned orthogonal to the first 1D subarray; and a two-dimensional (2D) subarray. Using electromagnetic energy received by the first 1D subarray and the second 2D subarray, azimuth angles and elevation angles associated with one or more objects can be determined. The radar system associates, using electromagnetic energy received by the 2D subarray, pairs of an azimuth angle and an elevation angle to the respective objects. In this way, the described systems and techniques can reduce the number of antenna elements while maintaining the angular resolution of a rectangular 2D array with similar aperture sizing.
