  • Patent number: 10580339
    Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of present disclosure provides a display device including a first horizontal line, a first delay line, a second delay line, a delay value determiner, and a timing controller. The first horizontal line receives a gate pulse signal (CPV) generated by a gate driver. The first delay line is connected to the first horizontal line to transmit a gate pulse signal received at a first horizontal position as a first delay signal. The second delay line is connected to the first horizontal line to transmit a gate pulse signal received at a second horizontal position as a second delay signal. The delay value determiner generates a horizontal delay signal based on the first delay signal and the second delay signal. The timing controller determines generation times of line latch signals applied to a plurality of data lines based on the horizontal delay signal.

  • Patent number: 9672778
    Abstract: A method of driving a display panel includes steps of generating a plurality of load signals, of which at least one load signal has a different timing from the rest of the load signals, generating data voltages synchronized to low periods of the load signals and outputting the data voltages to data lines. Accordingly, the data voltages synchronized to each of the load signals can be outputted to each of the data lines. A color coordinate problem occurring when applying a RGBW type may be solved by setting a charging time of a white sub-pixel different from the rest of the sub-pixels. Thus, display quality of a display apparatus including the display panel may be improved.
