  • Patent number: 11955439
    Abstract: A semiconductor package includes a semiconductor die, a redistribution structure and connective terminals. The redistribution structure is disposed on the semiconductor die and includes a first metallization tier disposed in between a pair of dielectric layers. The first metallization tier includes routing conductive traces electrically connected to the semiconductor die and a shielding plate electrically insulated from the semiconductor die. The connective terminals include dummy connective terminals and active connective terminals. The dummy connective terminals are disposed on the redistribution structure and are electrically connected to the shielding plate. The active connective terminals are disposed on the redistribution structure and are electrically connected to the routing conductive traces. Vertical projections of the dummy connective terminals fall on the shielding plate.

  • Patent number: 11501696
    Abstract: A pixel driving device includes a capacitance, a reset circuit, a compensation circuit, a driving transistor and a first transistor. Reset circuit and compensation circuit are coupled to a first end and a second end of capacitance. First transistor is coupled between second end of driving transistor and second end of capacitance. Reset circuit resets first end of capacitance at a power supply voltage and reset second end of capacitance at a reference voltage according to a first sweep signal respectively. Compensation circuit writes a data voltage into first end of capacitance via driving transistor and second end of capacitance is maintained at reference voltage according to a second sweep signal. First transistor generates a driving voltage difference between first end and second end of capacitance according to a control signal. Driving transistor outputs a current to a luminous element according to driving voltage difference.
