  • Publication number: 20230168401
    Abstract: The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of an ultrasonic sound field measuring system, and relates to a manual acoustic axis aligning method for an ultrasonic sound field measuring system. The method comprises: obtaining an intersection between a current acoustic axis and a plane by scanning two detection planes, and calculating an inclination angle of the current acoustic axis; judging whether the inclination angle is less than an adjustment threshold. The method does not depend on the specific mechanical implementation of adjusting an acoustic axis angle. The iterative algorithm combined with geometric information can converge quickly. The criterion of intersection between the acoustic axis and the plane used is not limited to the amplitude criterion, and other criteria can be introduced by increasing the distance between two planes to increase the robustness of measuring the acoustic axis angle.

  • Patent number: 11647650
    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.
