  • Patent number: 10657919
    Abstract: Disclosed are a gate driving circuit and a driving method thereof, and a display device using the driving circuit. In the gate driving circuit, a Qn node in a nth-stage circuit is precharged when a Qn?1 node output signal in a previous-stage driving circuit and a Qn+1 node output signal in a next-stage driving circuit are both at high levels, and thus stability of a Gn output end in the nth-stage circuit can be greatly improved. Meanwhile, a first transistor and a second transistor are connected in series, and a third transistor and a fourth transistor are connected in series.

  • Publication number: 20190310379
    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 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: 10403219
    Abstract: The present disclosure proposes a GOA circuit having GOA units connected in a serial. Each GOA unit includes a scan-control module, an output module, a pull-down module, and an output adjusting module. By using the output adjusting module formed by a ninth TFT, a tenth TFT, an eleventh TFT, and a twelfth TFT, the voltage level of a fourth node transits between the high voltage level and the low voltage level with the second clock signal in either forward scanning or backward scanning. Compared with the conventional technology where the high and low voltage levels of the output terminal are mainly realized using the second TFT, the GOA circuit realizes that the output ability of the output terminal enhances and the charging capacity of in-plane pixels upgrades in the same period of time to improve the display effect of the liquid crystal panel.

  • Publication number: 20190259338
    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.
