  • Publication number: 20180233074
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an organic electroluminescent display panel, an aging testing device and method, and a display device. A signal generator can simultaneously drive a plurality of parallel organic electroluminescent display panels to ensure the high efficiency of the aging test. In addition, during the aging test, the electrical coupling between the normal organic electroluminescent display panel and the signal generator can be maintained, and the electric coupling between the abnormal organic electroluminescent display panel and the signal generator can be disconnected. Thus, it is possible to prevent the abnormal organic electroluminescent display panel from affecting other normal organic electroluminescent display panels in parallel therewith, under the premise of ensuring the high efficiency of the aging test.

  • Patent number: 9752754
    Abstract: A luminaire includes a housing having at least one sidewall with an observable outer surface and a light feed edge. The housing sidewall is characterized in that light introduced through a light feed edge of the sidewall will propagate by internal reflections through the sidewall and will be extracted from the outer surface of the sidewall. A fractional amount of light emitted by the luminaire's light source is directed to the sidewall's light feed edge. When extracted, this fractional amount of source light produces an observable and aesthetically pleasing glow of light on the sidewall of the housing.
