  • Patent number: 11969803
    Abstract: According to one implementation, a drill includes the first cutting edges, the second cutting edges and a deflection reducer. The first cutting edges drill a prepared hole to a workpiece. The first cutting edges are formed in a tip side of the drill. The first point angle and each first relief angle of the first cutting edges continuously or intermittently decrease from the tip side toward a rear end side of the drill. The second cutting edges finish the prepared hole. The second cutting edges are formed at positions away in the rear end side from the first cutting edges. The second cutting edges have the second relief angles at a maximum diameter position. The deflection reducer reduces deflection of the second cutting edges by being inserted into the prepared hole. The deflection reducer is formed between the first cutting edges and the second cutting edges.

  • Publication number: 20240127758
    Abstract: A display may include an array of pixels that receive control signals from a chain of gate drivers. The pixels can be formed using semiconducting oxide transistors, whereas the gate drivers can be formed using silicon transistor. Each gate driver may include a shift register subcircuit and an output buffer subcircuit. The shift register subcircuit may include a first set of transistors at least partially controlled by one or more shift register clock signals. The output buffer subcircuit may include a second set of transistors at least partially controlled by one or more output buffer clock signals. The output buffer clock signals can toggle independently from the shift register clock signals. Operated in this way, the shift register clock signals can have pulse widths optimized for stability while the output buffer clock signals can have pulse widths optimized for speed.

  • Publication number: 20240096285
    Abstract: A display may include an array of pixels. A pixel can include an organic light-emitting diode, up to three thin-film transistors, and up to two capacitors. The pixel can include a drive transistor, an emission transistor, and a select transistor. The select transistor can be used to apply a reference voltage to the gate of the drive transistor during a global reset phase and during a global threshold voltage sampling phase and can also be used to apply a data voltage to the gate of the drive transistor during a data programming phase. The drive transistor can receive a power supply voltage that toggles between a low voltage during the global reset phase and a high voltage during other phases of operation. Configured and operated in this way, the pixel need not include separate dedicated anode reset and initialization transistors.

  • Publication number: 20240086014
    Abstract: An electronic device may have a display with touch sensors. One or more shielding layers may be interposed between the display and the touch sensors. The shielding layers may include shielding structures such as a conductive mesh structure and/or a transparent conductive film. The shielding structures may be actively driven or passively biased. In the active driving scheme, one or more inverting circuits may receive a noise signal from a cathode layer in the display and/or from the shielding structures, invert the received noise signal, and drive the inverted noise signal back onto the shielding structures to prevent any noise from the display from negatively impacting the performance of the touch sensors. In the passive biasing scheme, the shielding structures may be biased to a power supply voltage.

  • Patent number: 11887546
    Abstract: A display pixel is provided that is operable to support hybrid compensation scheme having both in-pixel threshold voltage canceling and external threshold voltage compensation. The display may include multiple p-type silicon transistors with at least one n-type semiconducting-oxide transistor and one storage capacitor. An on-bias stress phase may be performed prior to a threshold voltage sampling and data programming phase to mitigate hysteresis and improve first frame response. In low refresh rate displays, a first additional on-bias stress operation can be performed separate from the threshold voltage sampling and data programming phase during a refresh frame and a second additional on-bias stress operation can be performed during a vertical blanking frame. The display pixel may be configured to receive an initialization voltage and an anode reset voltage, either of which can be dynamically tuned to match the stress of the first and second additional on-bias stress operations to minimize flicker.

  • Patent number: 11756481
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for mitigating visual artifacts by dynamically tuning bias voltages applied to display pixels. An electronic display may include a display pixel and a bias voltage supply. The bias voltage supply may supply a first bias voltage to the display pixel for a first subframe of a frame of image data. The bias voltage supply may supply a different second bias voltage to the display pixel for a second subframe of the frame of image data. This may mitigate certain image artifacts, such as flicker or variable refresh rate luminance difference, that could arise due to display pixel hysteresis that varies across subframes of the image frame.
