  • Patent number: 8451902
    Abstract: An adaptive filter to use in connection with prediction-based pixel block encoding and decoding is determined independently at the encoder and decoder side through a template-based procedure. A pixel block (12) has an identified reference pixel block (22) in a reference frame (20). A template (16) of multiple pixels (18) adjacent the pixel block (12) and a reference template (26) of multiple pixels (28) adjacent the reference pixel block (22) are used for determining the filter parameters of the adaptive filter. The determined adaptive filter is then applied to the reference pixel block (22) and is used for generating an encoded representation (40) of the pixel block (12) during encoding and or generating a decoded representation of the pixel block (12) during decoding.

  • Patent number: 8368619
    Abstract: An exemplary pixel circuit includes an organic light emitting diode (OLED), a storage capacitance, a driving transistor and first through fourth switching transistors. The driving transistor is for generating a pixel current according to a charge amount stored on the storage capacitance to drive the OLED at a predetermined luminance. The on/off states of the first through fourth transistors are controlled by the same control signal. By means of particular electrical connection relationships of the first through fourth transistors in the pixel circuit, the pixel current flowing through the OLED is irrelevant to the power supply voltage and the threshold voltage of the driving transistor but is increased along with the increase of a cross-voltage of the OLED resulting from long-term use. The present invention also provides an active matrix OLED display using the above-mentioned pixel circuit and a driving method for the pixel circuit.
