A pixel structure of an active matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) includes an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), a data line, at least one scan line, at least one switch thin film transistor (TFT), at least one driving TFT and at least one storage capacitor with two transparent electrodes. Since both the electrodes of the transparent storage capacitor are formed by transparent material, the aperture ratio of the pixel and the area of the capacitor largely increase and can reach 50%˜95% of a pixel area. Thus, the display quality of an AMOLED panel can be improved.

When a signal inputted to a pixel is erased by setting potentials of a gate terminal and a source terminal of a driving transistor to be equal, a current slightly flows through the driving transistor in some cases, which leads to occur a display defect. The invention provides a display device which improves the yield while suppressing the increase in manufacturing cost. When a potential of a scan line for erasure is raised, a potential of the gate terminal of the driving transistor is raised accordingly. For example, the scan line and the gate terminal of the driving transistor are connected through a rectifying element.

The invention provides a pixel circuit that can cancel the influence of the mobility of a drive transistor. A drive transistor supplies to a light-emitting element, an output current dependent upon an input voltage during a certain emission period. The light-emitting element emits light with a luminance dependent upon a video signal in response to the output current supplied from the drive transistor. The pixel circuit includes a correction unit that corrects the input voltage held by a capacitive part before the emission period or at the beginning of the emission period, in order to cancel the dependence of the output current on the carrier mobility. The correction unit operates during part of a sampling period in response to control signals supplied from scan lines. Specifically, the correction unit extracts the output current from the drive transistor while the video signal is sampled, and negatively feeds back the output current to the capacitive part to thereby correct the input voltage.

A pixel driving circuit of an organic light emitting diode display panel includes a scan TFT, a Vdd-connected TFT, a driving TFT, a diode-connected TFT, a storage capacitor, a reset TFT, an OLED-connected TFT, and an organic light emitting diode. A reset TFT is connected to the diode-connected TFT and a previous scan line. An OLED-connected TFT is connected to the driving TFT and the light-emitting line. An organic light emitting diode is connected to the OLED-connected TFT and the ground. The amount of output current to the OLED does not depend on the threshold voltage of the driving TFT and only depends on the amount of the data signal voltage to be written. Thus, the variance in the threshold voltage of the driving TFT caused by the factor of the manufacturing process can be compensated to improve the non-uniform image defect.

In a bi-directional shift register and a liquid crystal display device having the bi-directional shift register, the shift register further includes a dummy stage for resetting a last stage. The dummy stage is reset by a control signal of the last stage or by the output signal of the dummy stage. Therefore, power consumption and layout area may be reduced. The shift register includes a plurality of stages and two dummy stages, and two selection signals for selecting shift direction is applied to each of the stages.

A virtual image is registered among a perceived real world background. Tracking light is scanned into the real world environment, which includes at least one detector pair. A first time and a second time at which the tracking light impinges on the first detector is detected, in which the first time and second time occurs within adjacent scan lines. A time at which a horizontal scan line edge (e.g., beginning of scan line or end of scan line) is encountered is derived as occurring one half way between the first time and the second time. The horizontal location of the first detector then is determined within a specific scan line inferring the scan line edge time. The vertical location of the detector is determined within a scan frame by measuring time duration using the beginning of the frame. By determining a location independently from the temporal resolution of the augmented imaging system, the temporal location of the detector is identified to a sub-pixel / sub-line precision. The augmented image is registered either to a 3D real world spatial coordinate system or to a time domain coordinate system based upon tracked position and orientation of the user.

A driving transistor for outputting a current for driving an organic electroluminescent (EL) element is formed on a pixel circuit of an organic EL display. A first capacitor is coupled between a power supply voltage and a gate of the driving transistor, and a second capacitor is coupled between the gate and a scan line. First a voltage matched with a data current is stored in the first capacitor in response to a select signal from the scan line. The voltage of the first capacitor is changed by variation of the select signal's voltage level. A driving current is output from the transistor because of the changed voltage of the first capacitor, and the organic EL element emits light as a result of the driving current.

A graphics system including a custom graphics and audio processor produces exciting 2D and 3D graphics and surround sound. The system includes a graphics and audio processor including a 3D graphics pipeline and an audio digital signal processor. The system achieves highly efficient full-scene anti-aliasing by implementing a programmable-location super-sampling arrangement and using a selectable-weight vertical-pixel support area blending filter. For a 2×2 pixel group (quad), the locations of three samples within each super-sampled pixel are individually selectable. A twelve-bit multi-sample coverage mask is used to determine which of twelve samples within a pixel quad are enabled based on the portions of each pixel occupied by a primitive fragment and any pre-computed z-buffering. Each super-sampled pixel is filtered during a copy-out operation from a local memory to an external frame buffer using a pixel blending filter arrangement that combines seven samples from three vertically arranged pixels. Three samples are taken from the current pixel, two samples are taken from a pixel immediately above the current pixel and two samples are taken from a pixel immediately below the current pixel. A weighted average is then computed based on the enabled samples to determine the final color for the pixel. The weight coefficients used in the blending filter are also individually programmable. De-flickering of thin one-pixel tall horizontal lines for interlaced video displays is also accomplished by using the pixel blending filter to blend color samples from pixels in alternate scan lines.

The scan pattern is preferably continuous and represents contiguous rhombi figures. The invention is equally related to a device and a software program or sequencer implementing the method.

A graphics controller which performs display list-based video refresh operations that enable objects with independent frame rates to be efficiently assembled is disclosed. The graphics controller maintains a virtual display refresh list (VDRL) comprising a plurality of pointers to scan line segments in memory. The graphics controller also creates, maintains, and deletes draw display lists (DDLs) that comprise pointers to object display list subroutines (ODLs) that independently draw objects in memory. The ODLs may allocated one or more buffers in memory into which different frames of the objects are drawn. When an ODL has completed executing, the corresponding pointer in the DDL may be updated to point to the buffer location in memory that stores the newly completed object frame. The VDRL is maintained independently (and may be doubled-buffered) and is updated using the DDLs. Motion estimation may be performed by the graphics controller using the different frames of objects that are drawn into memory by the ODLs. The different object frames may also be animated by the graphics controller once they are drawn into memory. The object frames stored in memory may be compressed to conserve memory.

Scan speed and current may be controlled so that scan speed is maximized within the current limits. Essentially continuous flux control can be achieved.
