Abstract: a light emitter that operates through a display may cause display artifacts, even when the light emitter operates using non-visible wavelengths. to mitigate artifacts caused by a light emitter operating through a display, the display may have a higher density of thin-film transistor sub-pixels than emissive sub-pixels. this allows for a region in the display to include emissive sub-pixels but be free of thin-film transistor sub-pixels. the light emitter may operate through this region in the display. additionally, to reduce the amount of space occupied in the inactive area of a display by gate driver circuitry, at least a portion of the gate driver circuitry may be positioned in the active area of the display. to accommodate the gate driver circuitry, emissive sub-pixels may be laterally shifted relative to corresponding thin-film transistor sub-pixels.

Abstract: the disclosure relates to discontinuous reception (drx) based ue behavior. a user equipment (ue) is configured to perform operations comprising: obtaining a first drx cycle; determining a second drx cycle at least based on the first drx cycle and a drx cycle threshold, wherein the drx cycle threshold is a highest value of drx cycle that can support leo (low-earth orbit) cell measurement; and applying the second drx cycle, comprising applying the second drx cycle to measurement of at least one leo cell of the serving cell and a neighbor cell, wherein at least one of the serving cell and the neighbor cell is a leo cell.

Abstract: the disclosure relates to methods for improving the discontinuous reception (drx) operation of a user equipment (ue) by introducing media access control (mac) control elements (ces) to cause the ue to use short and long drx cycles.
