  • Patent number: 9123282
    Abstract: A display is disclosed. The display comprises a panel, a data driver and a scan driver. The panel comprises pixels, data lines and scan lines. The data lines transmit data signals to the pixels, and the scan lines transmit scan signals to the pixels. The data driver provides the data signals, and the scan driver provides the scan signals. The scan driver comprises a shift register circuit. The shift register circuit comprises an i+1th stage carry shift register, an ith stage carry shift register and a jth stage buffer shift register. The ith stage carry shift register generates an i+1th start signal to start the i+1th stage carry shift register, so that the i+1th stage carry shift register generates an i+2th start signal. The i+1th start signal starts the jth stage buffer shift register to generate a jth output signal.

  • Publication number: 20020121648
    Abstract: A double &dgr;-doped In0.34 Al0.66As0.85 Sb0.15/InP heterostructure field-effect transistor has been successfully grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition for the first time. Electron mobilities can be enhanced without sacrificing the carrier densities. A turn-on voltage as high as 1 V along with an extremely low gate reverse leakage current of 111 &mgr;A/mm at Vgs=−40V is achieved. The three-terminal on-and off-state breakdown voltages are as high as 40.8V and 16.1V, respectively. The output conductance is as low as 1.8 mS/mm even when the drain-to-source voltage is 15V. The gds is significantly smaller than that of our previously reported InAlAsSb/InGaAs/InP HFET. These characteristics are attributed to the use of the coupled &dgr;-doped structure, InP channel, In0.34 Al0.66As0.85 Sb0.15 Schottky layer, and to the large conduction-band discontinuity (&Dgr;Ec) at the InAlAsSb/InP heterojunction.
