  • Publication number: 20240157642
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides apparatuses and methods for manufacturing three-dimensional objects. Each additive manufacturing apparatus (1000, 2000, 3000) includes: a) a reservoir (1100, 2100, 3100) for receiving hardenable material; b) a first movable light engine (1200, 2200, 3200) providing a first light radiation configuration; a second light engine (1300, 2300, 3300) providing a second light radiation configuration that is different than the first light radiation configuration; and d) a light altering structure (1400, 2400, 3400). The light altering structure is located between the reservoir and light radiated from at least one of the first movable light engine or the second light engine. The first movable light engine is configured to radiate light onto a first focal plane (2220) within the reservoir containing the hardenable material and the second light engine is configured to radiate light onto a second focal plane (2320) within the reservoir containing the hardenable material.

  • Publication number: 20240099086
    Abstract: A display may have an array of pixels. Display driver circuitry may supply data and control signals to the pixels. Each pixel may have seven transistors, a capacitor, and a light-emitting diode such as an organic light-emitting diode. The seven transistors may receive control signals using horizontal control lines. Each pixel may have first and second emission enable transistors that are coupled in series with a drive transistor and the light-emitting diode of that pixel. The first and second emission enable transistors may be coupled to a common control line or may be separately controlled so that on-bias stress can be effectively applied to the drive transistor. The display driver circuitry may have gate driver circuits that provide different gate line signals to different rows of pixels within the display. Different rows may also have different gate driver strengths and different supplemental gate line loading structures.
