| 20100118235 | DISPLAY THAT EMITS CIRCULARLY-POLARIZED LIGHT - One embodiment of the present invention provides a display that emits circularly-polarized light. This display includes a display mechanism that emits linearly-polarized light and a layer placed in the path of the linearly-polarized light. The layer receives the linearly-polarized light on one surface, converts the linearly-polarized light to circularly-polarized light, and then emits the circularly-polarized light from another surface. By emitting circularly-polarized light, the display reduces the perceived distortion found at some angles when the display is viewed through a linearly-polarizing filter. | 05-13-2010 |

| 20090189796 | PIPELINED ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER WITH CALIBRATION OF CAPACITOR MISMATCH AND FINITE GAIN ERROR - The present invention relates to an analog-to-digital converter, especially to a pipelined analog-to-digital converter with calibration of capacitor mismatch and finite gain error. Comparing with the conventional pipelined analog-to-digital converter, the new analog-to-digital converter comprises more circuit blocks including an extra sub-converter stage, a control clock generator and an error detector, resulting in that each sub-converter stage has two operation modes: normal conversion mode and calibration mode. All of the sub-converter stages share one error detector which amplifies the output of the sub-converter stage in calibration mode. Furthermore, to store the output of the error detector, a memory is used in each sub-converter stage for controlling the gain of amplifier in order to make the error generated by the finite gain of amplifier and the error generated by the capacitance mismatch have the same size but opposite sign. As a result, the two errors can compensate each other to achieve an error-free conversion stage. | 07-30-2009 |
