Abstract: A median filtering method makes a plurality of pixel data into a block of fixed unit area which includes a central pixel and a plurality of ambient pixels adjacent to the central pixel. Pixel data within the unit area is divided into sub unit areas which are smaller than the unit area. The data value of the divided pixel data is arranged in a fixed order for each of the sub unit areas. An intermediate value is determined from the arranged pixel data in each of the sub unit areas. An average value of the intermediate values which are extracted from each of the sub unit areas, and the central pixel data is determined corresponding to the central pixel of the unit area with the average value.

Abstract: A driving apparatus of a touch panel includes a touch panel for generating a coordinate signal according to a position of a contact point, at least two interface integrated circuits connected to the touch panel, a computer system driving the touch panel and connected to any one of the at least two interface integrated circuits, a sensor for automatically detecting the interface integrated circuit connected to the computer system, and a controller for converting the coordinate signal in accordance with the interface integrated circuit detected at the sensor and transmitting the converted coordinate signal to the computer system.

Abstract: A touch panel apparatus includes a touch panel for recognizing a contact position and a touch panel controller for computing a coordinate value corresponding to the contact position on the touch panel, wherein an activation force is set to a value between 80 g˜150 g, and the touch panel controller compensates for an error of the coordinate value due to double touching of the touch panel.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method of driving a touch panel that increases an analog-digital converting range includes a first resistive layer having first and second electrodes formed facing each other along opposing edges of the first resistive layer in a first direction, and a second resistive layer having third and fourth electrodes formed facing each other along opposing edges of the second resistive layer in a second direction. The apparatus also includes a high potential controller for selectively connecting one of the first and third electrodes to a high potential voltage supplied from a high potential voltage source and a low potential controller for selectively connecting one of the second and fourth electrodes to a low potential voltage. Further, a variable resistor is employed for reducing a voltage of the high potential voltage between the high potential controller and the high potential power voltage source.
