  • Patent number: 10643528
    Abstract: A display has an array of light emitting elements. For a given frame of a series of frames that present images on the display at a refresh rate of the display, the light emitting elements may be driven by loading individual subsets of the light emitting elements in sequence with light output data, and by illuminating the individual subsets of the light emitting elements in the sequence and in accordance with the light output data, wherein an illumination time period is within a range of about 2% to 80% of a frame time of the frame, the frame time derivable from the refresh rate. This “rolling burst illumination” technique is characterized by the relatively short illumination time period (e.g., as compared to the frame time), and it can stabilize a scene (or mitigate unwanted visual artifacts) for a viewing user during head motion, as well as optimize display bandwidth utilization.

  • Patent number: 10368405
    Abstract: A dimming circuit for an indicator switch has a control input, a dimming state and a non-dimming state. The dimming circuit is responsive to the presence of a backlight PWM signal at the control input of the dimming circuit to switch to the dimming state and responsive to the absence of the backlight PWM signal at the control input of the dimming circuit to switch to the non-dimming state. In the dimming state a high resistance of the dimming circuit is coupled in series with the indicator LED and a LED drive output of the function control module and in the non-dimming state a low resistance of the dimming circuit is coupled in series with the indicator LED and the LED drive output of the function control module. The high resistance has a resistance higher than the low resistance.

  • Patent number: 10356874
    Abstract: The present invention provides a backlighting dimming circuit and a liquid crystal display. The backlighting dimming circuit includes an external dimmer module (200) that receives a pulse dimming signal (PWM) to control a current regulation tube (Q1) included in the external dimmer module (200) to conduct on or cut off so as to control an LED light bar (300) to conduct on or cut off. A constant current driving chip (100) needs only one first terminal pin (1) provided thereto and through comparison of a voltage level at the first terminal pin (1) with a preset protection voltage level built in the constant current driving chip (100), an operation of conducting on or cutting of the LED light bar (300) can be carried out so that the number of the terminal pins necessary for the constant current driving chip can be reduced and thus, a packaging size of the constant current driving chip is reduced and the efficiency of tuning and testing of the backlighting dimming circuit is increased.

  • Patent number: 10312309
    Abstract: An organic light-emitting diode display may have thin-film transistor circuitry formed on a substrate. The display and substrate may have rounded corners. A pixel definition layer may be formed on the thin-film transistor circuitry. Openings in the pixel definition layer may be provided with emissive material overlapping respective anodes for organic light-emitting diodes. A cathode layer may cover the array of pixels. A ground power supply path may be used to distribute a ground voltage to the cathode layer. The ground power supply path may be formed from a metal layer that is shorted to the cathode layer using portions of a metal layer that forms anodes for the diodes, may be formed from a mesh shaped metal pattern, may have L-shaped path segments, may include laser-deposited metal on the cathode layer, and may have other structures that facilitate distribution of the ground power supply.
