  • Publication number: 20240071331
    Abstract: A multiplexed display panel and device and a driving method for the multiplexed display panel are provided. At the moment when a switching switch is turned on, a potential of a fanout line corresponding to a data line connected to sub-pixels, into which an data signal is input, is adjusted to the same level as a potential of the data line as much as possible, and a potential difference between each fanout line and the corresponding data line is relatively small at the moment when the switching switch is turned on, so that an instantaneous current at this moment is greatly reduced without causing relatively large jump of the potential of the data line, a common electrode and back-plated indium tin oxide (ITO) greatly fluctuate, and then the surface noise generated by the display panel is turned on is greatly reduced.

  • Patent number: 11262458
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). More specifically, the embodiments of the present technology relate to a smart antenna module resistant to Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) saturation for dual-frequency GNSS receivers. In some embodiments, a dynamically configured antenna module architecture can be for a dual-band (or multi-frequency) GNSS receiver that can adapt to different RFI conditions by performing corresponding working modes. For example, some embodiments of the smart antenna can measure (e.g., using a power detector) the power of an incoming multi-frequency signal to determine when the multifrequency signal is saturated. Then, using control logic the smart antenna can determine which frequency in the multi-frequency signal is usable and isolate (e.g. using radio frequency components) a frequency that is not saturated. A position estimate can then be generated based on the isolated multi-frequency signal.

  • Patent number: 10803809
    Abstract: Disclosed are a gate driving circuit, a driving method thereof, and a display device which comprises the gate driving circuit. In the gate driving circuit, the Qn node in the nth stage circuit is precharged when an output signal of a Qn?1 node in a previous stage driving circuit and an output signal of a Qn+1 node in a next stage driving circuit are both in a high-level state. Both the Qn?1 node and the Qn+1 node are at low levels when the gate driving circuit is in an All Gate On display state, and thus a possibility of current leakage from the Qn node can be substantially reduced.
