In a passively driven OLED display, a fuse may be positioned between the OLED material and the row electrode. When a short occurs, the single pixel may be separated from the circuit by the fuse, avoiding the possibility that an entire row of pixels may be adversely affected by the short associated with one single pixel along a row.

Abstract: A tiled display device is formed from display tiles having picture element (pixel) positions defined up to the edge of the tiles. Each pixel position has an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) active area which occupies approximately 25 percent of the pixel area. Each tile includes a memory which stores display data, and pixel driving circuitry which controls the scanning and illumination of the pixels on the tile. The pixel driving circuitry is located on the back side of the tile and connections to pixel electrodes on the front side of the tile are made by vias which pass through portions of selected ones of the pixel areas which are not occupied by the active pixel material. The tiles are to formed in two parts, an electronics section and a display section. Each of these parts includes connecting pads which cover several pixel positions. Each connecting pad makes an electrical connection to only one row electrode or column electrode.

Abstract: An apparatus for measuring the velocity of a droplet of a liquid includes a laser to generating a beam of light and projecting the beam along a first path. A lens is along the first path for forming the beam into the shape of a thin sheet. A beam divider is along the first path for dividing the beam into two separate beams which extend along second and third paths. The second and third paths lie in a common plane. Along the second and third paths is means for projecting a droplet of liquid across the second and third paths so that the droplet passes through both of the divided beams. AT least one photodetector is along the second and third paths to receive the divided beams and provide an electrical signal corresponding to the beams.

Abstract: A method and associated system that compensates for long-term variations in the light-emitting efficiency of individual organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) in an OLED display device, calculates and predicts the decay in light output efficiency of each pixel based on the accumulated drive current applied to the pixel and derives a correction coefficient that is applied to the next drive current for each pixel. In one exemplary embodiment of the invention, the calculation is based the accumulated current that has been passed through the device. In another exemplary embodiment, the calculation is based on a difference in voltage across the pixel at two instants. The compensation system is best used after the display device has been calibrated to provide uniform light output.
