  • Patent number: 9837444
    Abstract: A display device is described that has reduced resistance in one or more of the gate, common, data electrical lines that control the operation of the pixels of the display device. Reduced resistance is achieved by forming additional metal and/or metal-alloy layers on the gate, common, and/or data lines in such a manner so that the cross-sectional area of those lines is increased. As a consequence, each such line is formed so as to be thicker than could otherwise be achieving without causing defects in the rubbing process of an alignment layer. Additionally, no widening of these lines is needed, thus preserving the aspect ratio of the device. The gate insulating and semiconducting layers that in part make up the thin film transistors that help control the operation of the pixels of the device may also be designed to take into account the increased thickness of the lines.

  • 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.
