A method for generating a drive signal for driving a light emitting element of a display. The method includes: dividing the M bits into M−N1+1 data ranges, each including N1 consecutive bits of the M bits; determining N2 bits for uniquely identifying the M−N1+1 data ranges; generating a coded signal of N1+N2 bits for representing the M bits of the input signal; based on the coded signal, generating the drive signal comprising a sequence of N1 bits, each bit of said sequence of N1 bits controlling a current through the light emitting element or a voltage across the light emitting element, during a time interval, one bit at a time.

Method and apparatus of generating drive signal for light emitting element

A display panel () and a method for manufacturing a display panel () that includes a front side and a back side, the display panel () including a substrate having a plurality of electrical components provided on a front side of the substrate and integrated circuits connected to the plurality of electrical components, the integrated circuits being embedded in the substrate. A plurality of edge contacts () is also provided along edges of the substrate, where the plurality of edge contacts () is electrically connected with the integrated circuits. An electrically conductive layer () covers at least a part of the front side of the substrate and surrounds the plurality of electrical components, where the electrically conductive layer () does not physically contact the embedded integrated circuits and provides EMI shielding to different components of the display panel ().

System and method for display panel

A current control circuit for LED or OLED sub-pixels or pixels of an active matrix display is able to store bits or a bit of a control signal used to drive a pixel or sub-pixel, in a memory associated with each pixel or sub-pixel. The control circuit elements can be made compatible with thin-film processing such as to produce thin-film transistors.
