  • Patent number: 8749597
    Abstract: A multi-frame overdriving circuit for use in a liquid crystal display including a counting unit and a multi-frame overdriving unit is provided. The counting unit counts a number m of frame periods for which a pixel data corresponding to a pixel keeps a first gray value, wherein m is a positive integer. When the pixel data changes to a second gray value from the first gray value in a first frame period, the multi-frame overdriving unit respectively outputs y multi-frame overdriving pixel data corresponding to the pixel within successive y frame periods starting from the first frame period. The y multi-frame overdriving pixel data are related to the first gray value, the second gray value and the number m of frame periods, wherein y is a positive integer.

  • Patent number: 8350793
    Abstract: An image over-driving device is provided. An image detection device detects a size and a moving speed of an object according to an image signal and outputs an over-driving control signal according to the detected size and moving speed. A first image register receives and temporarily stores first image data of the image signal in a first frame period, and receives second image data of the image signal and outputs the first image data as a buffer data in a sequential second frame period. A first over-driving unit includes first and second lookup tables recording different over-driving parameters. The first over-driving unit generates first and second over-driving signals according to the buffer data and the second image data respectively by using the first and second lookup tables. The first multiplexer selects the first or second over-driving signal according to the over-driving control signal to drive a display device.

  • Patent number: 6997552
    Abstract: The present invention provides a light-emitting eyeglasses structure. The light-emitting eyeglasses structure comprises a frame and light-emitting devices. The frame has two transparent arms on two sides respectively, and each arm has a trench on the outside and a cover adapted to insert into the trench. The light-emitting devices are in the trenches and have a switch, a drive circuit, a light-emitting unit, and a power source. The power source comprises a control circuit, a starting circuit. The power source, the switch, the control circuit, the starting circuit, and the light-emitting unit are electrically conductible, so the power is conducted by the switch or a sensor, such as photo sensor, electricity sensor, and signal sensor, to make light-emitting unit emit a light and the light can passes through the transparent frame or arms. The eyeglasses structure according to the present invention is simple and utility, and can emit light with various means.
