Abstract: In the driving of a liquid crystal display panel with pixels in a matrix comprising n rows and m columns, when a partial display instruction is issued, respective rows in a display area (202) of s rows and m columns within the matrix are sequentially selected for one frame. Then, predetermined partial display data is written into the selected rows. Predetermined background data such as white display data is written into the background area (204) other than the partial display area (202). In the background area 204, either k rows and m columns or pixels of (the leading row ((s+1)-th row) of the background area, next to the final row in the partial display area) are selected during one frame for writing of the background display data, k rows and m columns are sequentially shifted each frame.

Abstract: A power supply circuit (300) for a display device such as a liquid crystal outputs a boosted supply voltage VDD2 during normal operation, and generates a non-boosted supply voltage VDD2 having a voltage lower than that during the normal display operation by controlling the switches for switching the output within the power supply circuit (300) during a power save mode. The non-boosted supply voltage is supplied to the analog circuits of a driving circuit (100) so that the power consumption at the analog circuits is reduced. By controlling the switch for switching the output within the power supply circuit and the supply of the power supply clock, the circuit can be switched, in the power save mode, to either a mode where a lower supply voltage is generated or to a mode where the power supply is turned off.

In this manner, supply voltages VDD2 and VDD3 which function as the driving power supply for a driving circuit (100) and a display panel (200) can be obtained at the power supply circuit (300) by boosting the input voltage Vin.

Abstract: There is proposed is a method of controlling a flat panel display apparatus for multi-gradation display in which a data determination portion and a subfield control portion are provided. Based on a most significant bit or an upper bit of original image data, it is determined in which one of two or more divided gradation groups the original image data is included, to select a combination of subfields in accordance with a gradation-brightness characteristic of the belonging gradation group. Using a complementary relationship with human visibility, a difference in brightness between the gradations in a low-order brightness region is reduced, and a difference in brightness between the gradations in a high-order brightness region is enlarged. Therefore, a density of brightness is uniformly recognized visually over all the brightness regions, and a good quality of display can be obtained.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus detects, in step 1, whether or not differences between currently supplied image data and image data of a previous pixel are more than a predetermined value m, and identifies a border of a computer-created image or a natural image, where a brightness level differs from the remaining area of the image, when the differences are more than the predetermined value m. Conversely, when the differences are less than the predetermined value m, the image processing apparatus checks, in step 2, whether image data at a pixel before and a pixel two before the current pixel are identical with respect to the color components constituting the color image. When the differences are not all zero, it is checked whether or not the image data at a pixel before the current pixel and the image data at the current pixel are all zero. When the image data are not identical, the color image is identified as being a natural image.

Abstract: The deterioration of the quality of a picture due to encoding/decoding is improved by setting the quantity of feedback on which the contents of input data reflect.Judging means 50 for judging whether input data are encoded/decoded or not based upon each quantity of generated codes in units of GOP from N pieces of fixed quantizers and control means for estimating the character of input data using the above each quantity of generated codes and the result of the judgment and calculating a feedback threshold FBT to be added to the target quantity of codes based upon the result of the estimate are provided. When the judging means judges that encoding/decoding is executed, the means controls a feedback threshold FBT using each quantity of generated codes in units of GOP from N pieces of fixed quantizers so that the variation of quantized values between macro blocks is reduced and in the result of the other judgment, the means controls a feedback threshold FBT so that repeatability is regarded as important.

Abstract: An image information processor for a liquid crystal display by a digital driver is intended to provide image display near to a source image by making continuous-tone image display by pseudo representations. The image information processor generates L-bit image display data based on P-bit source image data, L being less than P.

The high-order L bits of the P-bit data resulting from the addition are used as image display data of the picture element of the Nth frame and at least one bit of the remaining low-order bit data is held as error data of the picture element of the Nth frame.

Abstract: An automatic differential locking system for a working vehicle having steerable front and rear wheels, which includes a selector for selecting a steering mode of the vehicle, an actuator for operating a differential locking mechanism, and a gate for sending a control signal to the actuator in response to a signal received from the selector. The gate is adapted to send a differential locking signal to the actuator upon receipt of a parallel steering mode signal from the selector. In response to the differential locking signal the actuator actuates the differential locking mechanism. Since differential revolutions of the wheels are limited at times of parallel steering, the vehicle is capable of accurate course revisions and alterations without slipping.
