摘要： The invention describes in detail the structure of a CMOS image sensor pixel that senses color of impinging light without having absorbing filters placed on its surface. The color sensing is accomplished by having a vertical stack of three-charge detection nodes placed in the silicon bulk, which collect electrons depending on the depth of their generation. The small charge detection node capacitance and thus high sensitivity with low noise is achieved by using fully depleted, potential well forming, buried layers instead of undepleted junction electrodes. Two embodiments of contacting the buried layers without substantially increasing the node capacitances are presented.

摘要： A display has sufficient resolution to present images as they would appear on other types of image output devices, such as types of printers or displays. In response to a user signal indicating a type of image output devices, data defining an image is used to automatically obtain version data defining a version of the image. The version can be presented on the display to show the image as it would appear when presented by an image output device of the indicated type. The user can indicate a type by selecting a menu item or a button or by providing a sequence of keystrokes. In response to a user signal indicating a parameter value, a version can be presented showing the image as it would appear when presented with the value. When a satisfactory image is displayed, the user can then request presentation of the image by a device of the indicated type. Either data defining the input image from which the displayed image is a version or data defining the currently displayed image can then be transformed to obtain a presentation version for the image output device. A copier or printer that includes the display can use it to perform print previewing.

摘要： A repair structure for an array with first and second sets of lines that cross includes a repair line extending within the array, approximately parallel to at least one line in the first set and crossing a subset of the lines in the second set. The repair line is separated from the lines it crosses by an insulating layer but a repair operation can form an electrical connection between the repair line and an open line it crosses by operating on the region where they cross. For example, the insulating layer can be melted so that molten metal from the lines mixes to form an electrical connection. The repair structure also includes a connecting lead outside the array through which the repair line can be electrically connected to the signal circuitry for the open line, so that the open line receives signals from or provides signals to its signal circuitry as though it were continuous. The connecting lead can be connected to the signal circuitry through a highly conductive line on a printed circuit board or through a highly conductive line on the substrate but peripheral to the array. The repair line can cross all the lines in the second set. Or the repair structure can also include a second repair line collinear with the first. A split array with scan lines and data lines can therefore include two repair structures with a total of four repair lines, allowing four repairs to be made.

摘要： In a pixel display there is disclosed a pixel arrangement for LCD displays having 5 subpixel components. Namely, red, blue, green with adjacent red green pixels bordered by blue subpixels. Circuitry is disclosed for such pixels in which capacitors, functioning in sample hold circuits receive pulses to their terminal immediately after transistors are open with the resulting voltage change there occurring as an unintended voltage signal being applied to an LCD cell thereby causing unintended image artifacts. A new circuit and method is disclosed by which no transistor is open without its sample and hold stable for the remainder of the frame. Thus, preceding gate lines are tied through subsequent transistors such that all transistors open after the capacitors have their reference terminal stablized. In this way, leakage current does not occur through the source and drain of the transistors attended and certain subpixels do not have unintended image artifacts present.

摘要： Data is transferred from a processor to a display in one direction. However, there are many reasons for data to be transferred in both directions along a cable connecting the processor and display. This invention describes a method of sending data from the display back to the processor computer in a situation in which the video data transferred to the display is in digital form. Differential wire pairs are used to transmit red, green and blue digital pixel data in a first direction from the processor to the display using a high common mode rejection ratio in each of the twisted wire differential pairs. Using this common mode, digital data may be serially transmitted in a reverse direction from the display. The common mode is offset between two of the twisted wire differential pairs by varying the DC offset or reference voltage in one of the twisted wire differential pairs relative to the other differential pair. Both wires in a pair have their DC offset adjusted to as not to affect digital pixel data transmitted in a forward direction. DC offsets in each pair are compared, with a change in DC offset of one pair used for transmitting a logic high and a change in the DC offset of the other pair used for transmitting a logic low. In this way, bidirectional data transfer is accomplished without increasing the number of twisted wire pairs coupled between the processor and display.

摘要： An image or other multi-dimensional data set may have its sampling rate changed by determining weighting factors for the values of points in the original (input) data set used to calculate the value of a point in the new (output) data set. The weighting factors are determined using a function, such as a Gaussian function, that takes as input the relative location of the point in the new data set with respect to the locations of surrounding (neighboring) points in the original data set. The values of the points in the original data set are multiplied by the weighting factors, and the resultant products are added (or combined by another function) to give a value of the point in the new data set. In particular, when the input and output data sets are regularly spaced, such as with pixels for computer displays, the locations of the surrounding points and thus their weights repeat periodically. This results in increased efficiency because the surrounding points and their weights need to be determined only for a subset of the output data set.

摘要： A pen input system and method is disclosed for identifying a cursor location on a high resolution display. A pen includes a pointer for pointing to a desired point on a display screen for positioning of the cursor. A low resolution locator generally localizes the point to which the pen is pointing at a first location in a host processor, through a cursor control, and positions the cursor at the first location. The pen includes an imager for viewing an image of a portion of the screen including the cursor and the desired point to which the pen is pointing. The host processor can determine a variance between the desired point, which is the center point of the image viewed by the imager in the pen and the actual cursor location. This variance is determined by the processor which then repositions the cursor at the desired point.
