  • Patent number: 11309527
    Abstract: Provided are a display panel and a display apparatus. The display panel includes an organic light-emitting device, which includes an anode, a cathode, a light-emitting layer between the anode and the cathode, and a capping layer located on a side of a light-exiting side electrode facing away from the light-emitting layer and containing an ultraviolet absorber for absorbing ultraviolet light. After absorbing the ultraviolet light, a molecular volume of the ultraviolet absorber is reduced. By adding the ultraviolet absorber, the organic material in the organic light-emitting device is protected from being damaged, and the service life of the organic light-emitting device is prolonged. Since the molecular volume of the ultraviolet absorber is reduced after absorbing ultraviolet light, the refractive index of the capping layer is increased, improving the light extraction efficiency and the light-emitting efficiency of the organic light-emitting device, and also prolonging the service life.

  • Publication number: 20220094951
    Abstract: An encoder encodes an image portion by recursively partitioning the portion into a partitioning hierarchy of levels. The top level has a single block representing the entire portion and each lower level has four smaller blocks representing a corresponding larger block at a higher level. A palette table is generated for each bottom-level block based on the pixels of the associated block. For each successively higher level, the encoder generates a palette table for each current-level block by selecting palette colors based on the palette colors from the four palette tables for the associated four blocks at the next-lowest level. A color index map is then generated based on a final palette table selected from the palette tables generated for the partitioning hierarchy. A representation of the portion is then encoded using the final palette table and the color index map to generate a corresponding segment of an encoded bitstream.
