  • Patent number: 7719510
    Abstract: A flat panel display, a display driving apparatus thereof and a shift register thereof are disclosed. The shift register is adapted for driving a flat panel display. The shift register receives an input signal and a clock signal. The shift register includes a delay unit and a buffer unit. The delay unit is used to delay the input signal for a half period of the clock signal and then output the delayed input signal. The buffer unit receives the delayed input signal, and provides an extra driving power accordingly. The buffer unit is operated by a fixed first voltage and a fixed second voltage.

  • Patent number: 7612747
    Abstract: A display having voltage-driven organic light-emitting pixel circuits. Each pixel circuit includes an organic light-emitting diode, a data writing circuit, a capacitor, three transistors, and a switch. The pixel circuit can compensate the threshold voltage variations of low temperature poly silicon thin film transistors. This increases the stability of the voltage-driven organic light-emitting pixel circuits, improves the uniformity of the luminance of the display, and provides a larger aperture ratio for the pixels.

  • Patent number: 7514961
    Abstract: A logic circuit includes a logic unit, a driving unit, and a voltage level adjuster. The logic unit includes an output node having a logic state, the logic unit being coupled to a first voltage reference. The driving unit includes an input node, the driving unit being coupled to a second voltage reference, the driving unit and the first logic unit being constructed from a single type of transistor. The voltage level adjuster provides a control signal that causes the driving unit to reduce a current flowing through the driving unit when the output node of the first logic unit has a first logic state, and causes the driving unit to drive an output node of the logic circuit to a voltage level substantially equal to that of the second voltage reference when the output node of the first logic unit has a second logic state.

  • Patent number: 7471122
    Abstract: A shift register includes a control unit, a signal switching unit and a buffer unit. The control unit determines whether to transfer an input signal from a first input terminal to a first output terminal according to a first control signal, and determines whether to conduct a first pre-defined voltage to a second output terminal according to a second control signal. The signal switching unit uses the signal output from the first output terminal as one of the considerations for determining whether to conduct a second pre-defined voltage to a third output terminal, and uses the second control signal as one of the considerations for determining whether to conduct the second pre-defined voltage to the first output terminal. The buffer unit outputs signal according to the signals from the first/third output terminals. Further, at least once, the second control signal is enabled after the first control signal has been enabled.
