摘要： A luminous display includes pixels arranged in rows and columns. Control signals (CTRL2) that are used for controlling first switches (S2) for measuring parameters of pixel cells in a first row are also used to control second switches (S1) for programming pixel cells in a second row. In this way it is possible to use a single control signal for selecting one pixel cell for programming and simultaneously selecting another pixel cell for measuring (S1, S2). Programming and measuring are thus performed in a time staggered manner, while the addressing is moved to the respective next row. The programming is preferably voltage programming (Vprog). In one embodiment the current through the pixel cell that is currently programmed is interrupted. In another embodiment the measuring is performed only after the transient current into signal holding means coupled to current control means has set.

摘要： A variable-gain RF amplifier arrangement whose input impedance is essentially independent of the selected gain is proposed, which has a large number of selectable elementary amplifiers, with an input signal being scaled and the input impedance being set to be the same by means of switchable current limiting elements upstream of the elementary amplifiers, which are associated with the elementary amplifiers. The circuit also has a low noise level, which is largely independent of the selected gain, and good linearity. A broadcast radio receiver as well as a receiver for receiving data signals using an amplifier according to the invention are also proposed.

摘要： Image sensor, which comprises a plurality of pixels arranged as a pixel array with rows and columns and at least one read-out arrangement for reading out the pixels row by row. The columns are grouped into blocks (B1,...B64) with a certain number N of columns. Each read-out arrangement comprises N column read out circuits and an addressing circuit for with at least two groups of addressing lines for addressing the blocks. Each read-out arrangement is successively connected to one of the blocks of N columns. The blocks are selectively addressed by the groups of addressing lines in a way that a read-out sequence of blocks addressed by the groups is continuous across all blocks.

摘要： An image sensor circuit comprises at least one pixel cell (1) for providing an output signal which is variable according to illumination of said pixel cell (1) between a maximum and a minimum level, an analogue-to-digital converter (2) for converting output signals from said pixel cell (1) into digital data, and an offset signal source for providing an offset signal (OFFSET BRIGHT, OFFSET DARK) having a level between said maximum and minimum levels. The analogue-to-digital converter (2) is fully differential and is connected to said pixel cell (1) and to said offset signal source.

摘要： A circuit for an element of a light-emitting display is proposed. The element comprises a current control means, first and second switching means and a light-emitting means. In one embodiment, a signal holding means is provided. The arrangement of the first and second switching means of the element makes it possible to measure the electrical parameters of the current control means and of the light-emitting means during operation. A light-emitting display having a plurality of elements is furthermore proposed. The light-emitting display has a control circuit and a memory. The measured values of the electrical parameters of the current control means (4) and of the light-emitting means of the elements are used to correct the control signal S that is used to drive the elements. This enables a uniform brightness distribution in the case of voltage actuation and makes it possible to compensate for temporal changes in the light-emitting means. In addition, a method for actuating the elements and the light-emitting display is proposed.

摘要： The present invention relates a bidirectional signal transmission apparatus and method, wherein said apparatus comprises a processor unit connected in signal communication with an Ethernet, an RF modulation/demodulation unit, and an RF frequency conversion unit connected in signal communication with a coaxial cable network. The data signal input from the Ethernet is modulated into standard IEEE802.11 signal by means of said signal processing unit and RF modulation/demodulation unit, and then down-converted from 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz standard IEEE802.11 signal to a range of 500 MHz to 2000 MHz, and preferably to a range of 900 MHz to 1200 MHz. The bidirectional transmission apparatus further includes a frequency band selector for selecting different frequency bands so as to broaden the bandwidth of the signal and a real broad band data transmission is accomplished.

摘要： The present invention relates to a circuit for controlling a light emitting element, in particular an organic light emitting diode. The circuit comprises a capacitor connectable with the light emitting element, charging means for charging the capacitor and a switching means. The switching means is adapted to alternately disconnect the capacitor from the light emitting element and connect the capacitor to the light emitting element. The capacitor is alternately charged and discharged. A charging current or a discharge current from the capacitor drives the current of the light emitting element. Said charging means comprises at least one charging transistor for charging the capacitor.
