  • Patent number: 10147742
    Abstract: To provide a display device including a flexible panel that can be handled without seriously damaging a driver circuit or a connecting portion between circuits. The display device includes a bent portion obtained by bending an element substrate. A circuit for driving the display device is provided in the bent portion and a wiring extends from the circuit, whereby the strength of a portion including the circuit for driving the display device is increased and failure of the circuit is reduced. Furthermore, the element substrate is bent in a connecting portion between an external terminal electrode and an external connecting wiring (FPC) so that the element substrate provided with the external terminal electrode fits the external connecting wiring, whereby the strength of the connecting portion is increased.

  • Patent number: 9213516
    Abstract: Embodiments provide for a handheld device with a unified desktop for integrating the functionality of the handheld device with a larger computer system. When connected to a peripheral display and/or a display of the larger computer system, the handheld device provides a unified desktop displayed across the screen(s) of the handheld device and the peripheral display. The unified desktop unifies the functionality provided by the larger computer system and the handheld functionality, e.g., communication applications (e.g., phone, SMS, MMS). A user can seamlessly interact with applications, e.g., open, move, close, receive notifications, on the unified desktop whether the applications are displayed on the screens of the handheld device, or the peripheral display of the larger computer system.

  • Patent number: 9106575
    Abstract: An integrated circuit with two operating modes is described. During a first operating mode, a de-multiplexer selectively couples information received via a common set of pads to first control logic, which decodes the information based on a first serial-interface technique. Moreover, during a second operating mode, the de-multiplexer selectively couples a first portion of the information to the first control logic and a second portion of the information to second control logic, which decodes the second portion based on a second serial-interface technique. By facilitating time-domain de-multiplexing of two similar serial-interface techniques, the integrated circuit can overcome the constraints imposed by a low or limited pin count.
