Abstract: A method of generating ultrasound by driving an array of ultrasonic transducers comprises a charge transfer procedure. The charge transfer procedure comprises switching a terminal of a first ultrasonic transducer of the array, at a first electric potential, to a charge distribution bus; switching a terminal of a second ultrasonic transducer of the array, at a second electric potential different than the first potential, to the charge distribution bus; and allowing charge to flow between the first ultrasonic transducer and the second ultrasonic transducer through the charge distribution bus.

Abstract: A pixel circuit for driving a light-emitting diode (LED) comprises a current-mirror, comprising a primary current path and a secondary current path, arranged to mirror a current through the primary current path to the secondary current path. The current through the primary current path is settable by switching a reference current into the primary current path through a reference current line. The secondary current path is configured to drive the LED. The pixel circuit also includes a switch component arranged to switch the LED to and from the secondary current path based on one or more switch control lines.
