Digital‐to‐analog converter with gamma correction on glass substrate for TFT‐panel applications

Abstract— Low‐temperature polysilicon (LTPS) technology has a tendency towards integrating all circuits on glass substrate. However, the poly‐Si TFTs suffered poor uniformity with large variations in the device characteristics due to a narrow laser process window for producing large‐grained poly‐Si TFTs. The device variation is a serious problem for circuit realization on the LCD panel, so how to design reliable on‐panel circuits is a challenge for system‐on‐panel (SOP) applications. In this work, a 6‐bit R‐string digital‐to‐analog converter (DAC) with gamma correction on glass substrate for TFT‐panel applications is proposed. The proposed circuit, which is composed of a folded R‐string circuit, a segmented digital decoder, and reordering of the decoding circuit, has been designed and fabricated in a 3‐μm LTPS technology. The area of the new proposed DAC circuit is effectively reduced to about one‐sixth compared to that of the conventional circuit for the same LTPS process.     

基于测量波阻抗相位特性的多端混合直流线路保护方案

电网换相换流器和模块化多电平换流器(line commutated converter-modular multi-level converter,LCC-MMC)并联型多端混合直流输电系统结合了基于电网换相换流器型高压直流输电(line commutated converter-high voltage direct current,LCC-HVDC)与基于模块化多电平换流器型高压直流输电(modular multi-level converter-HVDC,MMC-HVDC)的技术优势,但因其不一致的边界特性、特殊的汇流母线结构、不同的换流站控制策略,导致现有的线路保护方案难以直接应用。为此,文中提出一种基于测量波阻抗相位特性的多端混合直流线路保护方案。首先,推导不同故障位置测点处测量波阻抗表达式,发现在高频段内,测点处测量波阻抗相位在区内外故障条件下差异显著,且相位特征与故障距离、类型和过渡电阻等因素无关;接着,利用S变换提取测量波阻抗相位信息,并结合行波高低频能量比判据,实现故障识别;最后,在PSCAD中进行仿真验证。结果表明,所提保护能够区分T区母线与其相邻线路末端故障,在满足快速性的同时具备一定的耐受过渡电阻(500 Ω)和抗噪声干扰(20 dB)能力,满足多端混合直流系统线路主保护要求。

The use of mindmapping software for patent search and management

Modern information technologies and in particular the internet have revolutionized the patent information professionals' work in terms of speed of access and information comprehensiveness from both company internal and external digital sources. Here, I describe how the digital mindmapping technique can be used to complement existing intellectual property management software solutions to meet the challenge of optimizing and managing patent search workflows as well as to rapidly organise and access highly dynamic, heterogeneous and scattered patent information sources. Both eye catching and highly memorable and at the same time self-explanatory mindmapping examples are presented. These were designed to include basic and advanced level digital mindmapping features tailored to significantly speed up and maintain a high work quality level of patent search professionals. A special emphasis is put on the great benefit of organising and accessing the plethora of internet-based worldwide online patent registers through mindmapping, both in terms of managing the constantly changing deep links to the actual search options for e.g., legal status information, and keeping track of the offered level of content.     

Digital time‐modulation pixel memory circuit in LTPS technology

Abstract— A digital time‐modulation pixel memory circuit on glass substrate has been designed and verified for a 3‐μm low‐temperature polysilicon (LTPS) technology. From the experimental results, the proposed circuit can generate 4‐bit digital codes and the corresponding inversion data with a time‐modulation technique. While the liquid‐crystal‐display (LCD) panel operates in the still mode, which means the same image is displayed on the panel, a data driver for an LCD panel is not required to provide the image data of the frame by the proposed pixel memory circuit. This pixel memory circuit can store the frame data and generate its corresponding inversion data to refresh a static image without activating the data driver circuit. Therefore, the power consumption of a data driver can be reduced in the LCD panel.     

A fully integrated 1‐in. AMOLED display using current feedback based on a five‐mask LTPS CMOS process

Abstract— In the past, a five‐mask LTPS CMOS process requiring only one single ion‐doping step was used. Based on that process, all necessary components for the realization of a fully integrated AMOLED display using a 3T1C current‐feedback pixel circuit has recently been developed. The integrated data driver is based on a newly developed LTPS operational amplifier, which does not require any compensation for Vth or mobility variations. Only one operational amplifier per column is used to perform digital‐to‐analog conversion as well as current control. In order to achieve high‐precision analog behavior, the operational amplifier is embedded in a switched capacitor network. In addition to circuit verification by simulation and analytic analysis, a 1‐in. fully integrated AMOLED demonstrator was successfully built. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first implementation of a fully integrated AMOLED display with current feedback.
