20150235595 | DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DRIVING SAME - In a pixel circuit, during a period during which an organic EL element is not emitting light, a transistor is in an “on” state and a reverse-direction voltage determined by a reverse-direction current that depends on the degree to which degradation of the organic EL element has progressed is written to a capacitor. The transistor then turns off, another transistor turns on, and a compensating current that depends on the reverse-direction voltage flows from another capacitor towards a reverse-biasing power-supply line, causing a drive voltage maintained by the capacitor to change by a compensating voltage change. This makes it possible to minimize decreases in the emission luminance of an electro-optical element such as an organic EL element due to degradation thereof over time. | 2015-08-20 |
20150235596 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING APPLICATIONS - According to an example of the present disclosure, a light intensity value of an environment, at which a terminal device may be located, may be obtained. Whether the light intensity value of the environment may be less than or equal to a preset value may be determined. Whether a browser of the terminal device may be in a Night Mode may be determined if the light intensity value of the environment may be less than or equal to the preset value. The Night Mode of the browser of the terminal device may be turned on if the browser may not be in the Night Mode. | 2015-08-20 |
20150235597 | LIGHT SOURCE CONTROL MODULE, BACKLIGHT MODULE AND DRIVING METHOD THEREOF - The present invention provides a light source control module, a backlight module and driving method thereof which can overcome the problems of insufficient color amount, poor performance and lowered color saturation. A light source control module of the present invention is used for separately controlling illumination colors and/or brightness of each light source in the backlight module according to image information. The driving method of the backlight module comprises: calculating representative color and/or brightness of each image section based on image information, wherein each image section corresponds to a light output area on the output surface of the backlight module, each light output area is illuminated by one light source in the backlight module; adjusting the illumination colors and/or brightness of each light source such that the color and/or brightness of each light output area is in conformity with the representative color and/or brightness of corresponding image section. | 2015-08-20 |
