Latest Patents
One of his key patents is titled "Energy recovery in a driver circuit for a flat panel display." This invention involves a full-bridge driver circuit that comprises four controllable switches. It supplies a voltage with alternating polarities between the first and second electrodes of a flat panel display. The design includes a series arrangement of capacitance, an inductor, and a diode, which is arranged in parallel with one of the switches. The diode is configured to be conductive during a resonance phase. The control circuit effectively closes one of the switches, allowing the inductor and capacitance to form a resonant circuit. This innovative method reverses the polarity of the voltage in an energy-efficient manner without the need for additional controllable switches beyond those in the full-bridge driver circuit. Alphonsus holds 1 patent for this invention.
