Patent number: 11289008Abstract: A pixel circuit is disclosed herein, which includes a first switch, a capacitor, a driving transistor, and a light-emitting diode (LED). The first switch outputs voltage data in response to a scan signal. A first terminal of the capacitor and the first switch are coupled to a node. A second terminal of the capacitor receives a reference signal. The driving transistor is coupled to the node, and configured to output current according to a voltage stored in the node. The LED is coupled to the driving transistor, and emits light according to the current. The reference voltage is different during different operation periods. The driving transistor outputs a first current according to the voltage data and the voltage difference, and outputs a second current according to the voltage data during different operation periods, such that the LED emits a first light and a second light during different operation periods.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2020Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: AU OPTRONICS CORPORATIONInventors: Yi-Chiung Chen, Mao-Hsun Cheng

Patent number: 11023071Abstract: A driving system of touch display panel includes a panel having an active area and a plurality of touch electrodes, and a gate driving circuit connected with a plurality of gate lines. There is at least one gate line not covered by the touch electrodes among the gate lines disposed in a range constituted by vertically adjacent touch electrodes. The gate line not covered by the touch electrode, at least one gate line previous thereto, and at least one gate line next thereto are selected as the gate lines that influence coupling. When driving the gate lines that influence coupling, the gate driving circuit enables a time difference between an active time of each at least one gate line among the gate lines that influence coupling and an active time of a gate line previous thereto to be greater than a predetermined interval.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2020Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: FOCALTECH SYSTEMS CO., LTD.Inventors: Yi-Chiung Chen, Jui-Lung Hung, Chien-Hao Cheng, Po-Sheng Shih
