    Abstract: Described are LED devices and corresponding manufacturing techniques. In some embodiments, an LED device includes a first doped semiconductor layer, a second doped semiconductor layer having an opposite doping, and a two-dimensional (2D) array of light emitting cells. Each light emitting cell corresponds to a mesa of an individual pixel and includes at least one quantum well. The 2D array is located between the first doped semiconductor layer and the second doped semiconductor layer. The LED device further includes a flattening layer between the first doped semiconductor layer and the 2D array. The flattening layer comprises an undoped quantum barrier (QB) layer that completely covers sidewalls of each light emitting cell in the 2D array. The undoped QB layer quantum mechanically isolates the light emitting cells from each other. The flattening or undoped QB layer may also protect the light emitting cells against etch-induced defects during a mesa pixelation process.

  • Publication number: 20230403041
    Abstract: An RF transceiver includes an RF transmitter coupled to a broadcast antenna, an RF receiver coupled to a receiving antenna, and a communication channel to provide an RF reference signal from the transmitter to the receiver to assist in canceling a transmitter-induced interference signal at the receiver. A digital processor of the receiver is configured for adaptive filtering the RF reference signal in the frequency domain to estimate the spectrum of the interference signal, and estimating a spectrum of a remotely-transmitted signal based on the estimated interference spectrum and a spectrum of a received signal from the receiving antenna. The filtering includes estimating frequency-domain filter weights based, at least, on spectra of the received and reference signals, and de-noising of the estimated filter weights. The interference cancellation may be iteratively improved using a re-modulated feedback from a demodulator and/or a decoder in the signal processing chain of the receiver.

  • Patent number: 11836989
    Abstract: A vehicular vision system includes a camera disposed at an in-cabin side of a windshield of a vehicle. Responsive to image processing at an ECU of captured frames of image data, the vehicular vision system detects an object present in a field of view of the camera. As the vehicle moves relative to the detected object, captured frames of image data are processed to determine a point of interest, present in multiple captured frames of image data, on the detected object. The vehicular vision system, via processing of captured frames of image data as the vehicle moves relative to the detected object, and based on the determined point of interest present in multiple captured frames of image data, estimates a location in three dimensional space of the determined point of interest and determines distance to the determined point of interest on the detected object.
