Abstract: A display may have an array of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) pixels that each have OLED layers interposed between a cathode and an anode. Voltage may be applied to the anode of each pixel to control the magnitude of emitted light. The conductivity of the OLED layers may allow leakage current to pass between neighboring anodes in the display. To reduce leakage current and cross-talk, the thickness of at least one of the OLED layers may be reduced. To maintain the optical cavity of the pixels, transparent optical spacer structures may be inserted. Alternatively, the thickness of the anodes can be increased. To accommodate a common prime layer within the OLED layers, the optical spacers or anodes may be separately patterned to have different thicknesses. Grating structures and photonic crystal structures may be embedded as part of the optical spacers to help control emission at selected viewing angles.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein a method for controlling operating frequency for a wireless power charging system. Specifically, a transmitter coil at a wireless power transmitter is driven under an operating frequency and an input voltage. Deadtime information at the wireless power receiver is received, from a wireless power receiver having a receiver coil that receives wireless power from the transmitter coil. A microcontroller then determines, based on the received deadtime information or the operating frequency, whether the operating frequency deviates from a target operating frequency range. Based on the determination, one or both of the operating frequency or the input voltage are adjusted thereby causing the operating frequency to fall within the target operating frequency range.

Abstract: An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display may have an array of organic light-emitting diode pixels that each have OLED layers interposed between a cathode and an anode. Voltage may be applied to the anode of each pixel to control the magnitude of emitted light. The conductivity of the OLED layers may allow leakage current to pass between neighboring anodes in the display. To reduce leakage current and the accompanying cross-talk in a display, the pixel definition layer may disrupt continuity of the OLED layers. The pixel definition layer may have an undercut to disrupt continuity of some but not all of the OLED layers. The undercut may be defined by three discrete portions of the pixel definition layer. The undercut may result in a void that is interposed between different portions of the OLED layers to break a leakage path formed by the OLED layers.

Abstract: A speech interface device is configured to perform natural language understanding (NLU) processing in a manner that optimizes the use of resources on the speech interface device. In an example process, a domain classifier(s) is used to generate domain classifier scores associated with multiple candidate domains, and the candidate domains can then be evaluated, one candidate domain at a time, in accordance with the domain classifier scores (e.g., starting with a highest scoring candidate domain). For each candidate domain undergoing the evaluation, input data is by that domain's NLU model(s), and, as soon as a domain-specific NLU model(s) produces a NLU result with a confidence score that satisfies a threshold confidence score, the evaluation can be stopped for any remaining candidate domains.
