  • Patent number: 10522107
    Abstract: A data driver includes shift registers, sampling latches, holding latches, and a data sensing unit. The shift registers generate sampling pulses by shifting a source start pulse in response to a source sampling clock. Each of the sampling latches receives current data and stores the current data in response to each of the sampling pulses. Each of the holding latches receives the current data stored in each of the sampling latches, and stores the received current data in response to a source output enable signal. The data sensing unit receives the current data corresponding to an i-th sampling latch of the sampling latches or an i-th holding latch of the holding latches (i is a positive integer) and previous data stored in the i-th sampling latch or the i-th holding latch, compares the current data with the previous data, and generates control data based on the comparison result.

  • Patent number: 10444904
    Abstract: An input sensing unit includes sensing electrodes. Each of the sensing electrodes includes: first electrodes arranged in a column extending in a first direction; a second electrode extending in the first direction; first sensing lines connected to the first electrodes, the first sensing lines extending in the first direction; and a second sensing line connected to the second electrode, the second sensing line extending in the first direction. The first sensing lines are connected to first pad portions. The second sensing line is connected to a second pad portion. The second pad portions or some of the first pad portions are disposed between a first pad portion among the first pad portions and the second pad portion, the first pad portion being connected to a first sensing line closest to the second sensing line among the first sensing lines.

  • Patent number: 10181293
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes: a backlight to generate light; a display panel to display an image by utilizing the light; a driving part to provide image signals corresponding to the image to the display panel; and a timing controller to drive the backlight, to drive the driving part at a first frequency when the image is a moving image, and to drive the driving part at a second frequency lower than the first frequency when the image is a still image. The timing controller is to set the second frequency based on a value obtained by applying a reduction rate of a flicker index corresponding to a dimming index of the backlight to a flicker index of image signals of a previous frame.
