Patent EP-1471493-A1 (EP)
Inventor: THANGHE GINO
IPC: G09G3/32
Filed: 2003-04-25
Abstract: The present invention is a pre-charge circuit integrated within the drive circuitry of a
common anode, passive matrix, large-screen organic light-emitting diode (OLED)
display device for overcoming the inherent capacitance characteristics C OLED  of the
OLED devices therein. More specifically, a first pre-charge circuit of the present
invention includes a MOSFET device integrated within the normal drive circuitry for
applying a pre-charge voltage to the cathode of a given OLED device just prior to the
desired "on" time, thereby overcoming C OLED  rapidly. A second pre-charge circuit of
the present invention integrates within the normal drive circuitry a method of
connecting the anode of a given OLED device to a positive voltage while concurrently
connecting the cathode to ground just prior to the desired on time, thereby overcoming
C OLED  rapidly. A third pre-charge circuit of the present invention includes an additional
current source for supplying current over and above the normal operating current,
which is activated just prior to the desired on time, thereby overcoming C OLED  rapidly.
Finally, in a fourth pre-charge circuit of the present invention, a single current source
is used that supplies a high current value just prior to the desired on time. Once the
capacitor is charged, the output of this current source rapidly drops to the normal
constant operating current.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a system
for reducing the dead zones within a third generation
mobile telecommunication system (UMTS). When a mobile
station (MS) communicating with a service base station
(BS 1 ) comprised within a first access network generates
a dead zone on at least one uplink of a next base
station (BS 2 ) comprised within a second access network,
the first and second access networks being separate and
independent, criteria are determined, according to the
invention, based on parameters regarding the uplink
and/or downlink between the mobile station (MS) and the
service base station (BS 1 ) and the next base station
(BS2), if they are not complied with for the uplink
and/or downlink, the mobile station (MS) interrupts the
radio uplink and/or downlink implemented between the
mobile station (MS) with its service base station
(BS1). When the power transmitted on the uplink becomes
zero, the degradation in the radio coverage of the cell
associated with the next base station (BS 2 ) due to the
mobile station (MS) disappears.
