  • Publication number: 20240062702
    Abstract: Provided is a gate driver comprising an inverter inverting a start signal to generate an inverted start signal, a first driver including a first stage generating a bias gate signal to initialize a light emitting element of each of pixels in response to the inverted start signal, and a second driver including a second stage generating a write gate signal to apply data voltages to the pixels in response to the start signal. Accordingly, the gate driver may generate a plurality of gate signals using one start signal. In addition, since the gate driver generates a write gate signal and a bias gate signal using one start signal, a bias operation and a light emitting element initialization operation may be performed in a self-scan period without adding the start signal. Further, a size of the gate driver may be reduced, and accordingly, the gate driver may be efficiently disposed.

  • Patent number: 8635911
    Abstract: Method for determining buoyant mass and deformability of a cell. The method includes introducing the cell into a suspended microchannel resonator that includes a constriction near a distal location in the resonator. A first frequency shift in the resonator is monitored as a cell moves to the distal location in the resonator, the first frequency shift being related to the buoyant mass of the cell. Transit time of the cell through the constriction is measured by monitoring a second frequency shift as a result of a change in cell location as it passes through the constriction, whereby deformability is determined from the measured buoyant mass and transit time.
