  • Patent number: 7164404
    Abstract: A digital image signal is serially transferred to each of pixels through a drain signal line. The digital image signal is sampled at pixel selecting transistors, converted from a serial signal to a parallel signal, and then converted to an analog image signal by a DA converter. This DA converter includes a plurality of capacitor electrodes coupled to a pixel electrode at a weighted capacitance ratio and a clock supplying portion for supplying periodic clock signals to the plurality of the capacitor electrodes in response to the digital image signal. The analog image signal is applied to the pixel electrode. This simplifies a configuration of peripheral circuits of the pixel, and accordingly reduces the frame area of a panel and the number of wiring lines.

  • Publication number: 20060132493
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a video signal processing unit, a display panel, and a bidirectional bus. The video signal processing unit transmits a video signal via the bidirectional bus. The display panel displays an image in accordance with the video signal. The video signal processing unit and the display module are connected to the bidirectional bus. When a tester is connected to the bidirectional bus, the bidirectional bus directly connects the tester to the video signal processing unit and the display module. The tester separately tests the video signal processing unit and the display panel after the display apparatus is assembled.

  • Publication number: 20060119553
    Abstract: A display module enabling recognition of an image when the entire screen is bright (or dark). A current drive circuit includes a current amount control circuit for controlling the amount of current supplied from a high potential power supply to a transmission path in response to a current control signal. A drive current generation circuit controls the amount of current flowing through a transmission line in accordance with a gray scale value of video data based on RGB pulse width modulation signals. Current, which corresponds to the difference between the current of the current amount control circuit and the current controlled by the drive current generation circuit, flows through the transmission line. When using the drive current of the drive current generation circuit as a base current, the current amount control circuit adds current to the drive current with the current control signal.

  • Publication number: 20050243201
    Abstract: This invention enables the image data transmission with high frequency without having the EMI noise or the deterioration of SN ratio. The image data SR is inputted to the electric current driving circuit 30 after it is modulated into the pulse width modulation signal SRP by the pulse width modulation circuit 10. The electric current driving circuit 30 outputs the first and the second driving electric current I1, I2 to the transmission lines 41, 42 based on the pulse width modulation signal SRP. The first and the second driving electric currents I1 and I2 have the same magnitude but the opposite directions. The pixels GS1 and GS2 with the electric current driven luminescent element L1 and L are driven by the first and second driving electric currents I1 and I2.

  • Publication number: 20050231535
    Abstract: The variation of the electric current fed to the luminescent element is prevented in the display device with the electric current driven luminescent element, achieving uniform display brightness. The pulse width modulation circuit 10 generating a pulse width modulation signal SRP, the pulse of which is modulated for a certain period according to the image data, and the electric current generation circuit 20 generating the pulse current I corresponding the pulse width modulation signal are formed. The pulse current I is supplied to the electric current driven luminescent elements L1 and L2 through the pixel selection TFT 51, 52. Since the pulse current I is stable and at a certain level, it is not influenced by the variation among the pixels due to the manufacturing process, achieving uniform display brightness and improved display quality.
