Abstract: A display uses x illuminator systems to produce x primary colors and y overlap colors, which are combinations of primary colors, to illuminate a spatial light modulator in a display system. A first set of n duty cycles for the x primary colors over a frame is provided, wherein the display system can select any one of the duty cycles to produce a desired white point. A second set of n duty cycles of x+y colors over a frame corresponding to the first set of duty cycles is determined, where the second set of duty cycles are generated responsive to a specified desired allocation of the frame to the y overlap colors, such that each of the overlap colors can be displayed from a dark shade to a bright shade while maintaining a constant color point.

Abstract: A pixel unit, a pixel structure, a display apparatus and a pixel driving method can solve the problem that it is necessary to change polarity of voltage for each of data signals input to respective data lines and thus a power consumption is large in the prior art. In the pixel unit of the disclosure, the positions of the pixel electrode and the common electrode in two adjacent pixels in a pixel unit adopting the dual gate technique are exchanged. The pixel structure is constituted by an array formed by the pixel units. When applying the pixel driving method to the pixel structure to achieve a pixel dot-inversion or a pixel column-inversion, there is no need for changing the polarities of voltages of data signals input to respective data lines, and thus the power consumption is reduced.

Abstract: A display error occurs upon contention between writing of pixel data in a GRAM and reading of pixel data representing a scanning line including pixels which correspond to the pixel data above. Pixel data corresponding to pixels representing a scanning line stored in a latch circuit is displayed on a display panel, and when contention occurs between writing of pixel data in a GRAM and reading of pixel data corresponding to pixels representing a scanning line to the latch circuit from the GRAM, a controller delays reading of the pixel data corresponding to the pixels representing the scanning line and controls so as to perform reading of the pixel data corresponding to the pixels representing the scanning line to the latch circuit from the GRAM once again.

The maintenance station is located axially outward of the print drum, and includes a cylinder with caps and wipers at the cylinder periphery. A cam system operates upon rotation of the cylinders to elevate the caps into sealing relationship with the printhead nozzle plates. The nozzle plates are wiped by rotation of the cylinder to sweep the wipers across the nozzle plates. During non-service periods, the maintenance station does not interfere with printer carriage movement.

Abstract: A method and device for preventing the jumping phenomenon of the OSD display region on a monitor screen. The anti-jumping device comprises it included a comparison circuit, a signal generator and a multiplexer. The comparison circuit is used for calculating a difference time between the front edges of pulses of the synchronizing signals Vs and Hs, and the front edge of a corresponding pulse, comparing the difference time with a fixed time and producing a selection signal according the comparison result. The selection signal represent the timing relation between Hs and Vs. The signal generator is used for generating two clear reference signals that can be applied in various timing situations. The multiplexer receives the two clear reference signal and employs the selection signal to select one of the two clear reference signal as a clear signal that is applied to a counter used for counting the scanning location in the OSD processing circuit.

Abstract: A video adapter converts an analog image signal output from a personal computer to a digital signal. The clock frequency, phase data, and display position data for the A/D conversion are set automatically according to the analog image signal to adjust for any offset. An A/D converter analog/digital converts the analog image signal from a digital image signal source. An image start/termination coordinate detection circuit detects the video signal Sid start and end coordinates of the digital video signal from the A/D converter using the synchronization signals and clock, and then generates coordinate data. A clock generation circuit generates the clock input to the A/D converter based on the input from the display control circuit. A delay circuit delays the horizontal synchronization signal in the input analog image signal based on the phase data from the display control circuit and further outputs the result to the clock generation circuit.

Abstract: An apparatus for 2-D filtering a raster scanned image at high real-time rates such as those required for HDTV, with either IIR of FIR structures, without the need for expensive digital systems that require A/D and D/A converters. The wide variety of 2-D signal processing techniques (e.g. high pass filtering) that are based on a 2-D transfer function of general order can be implemented. The use of a semi-systolic structure allows a number of advantages for VLSI implementation such as modularity, regularity and high parallelism. Use of analog components in the processing elements of the apparatus makes high-speed operation for real-time applications in HDTV possible. The apparatus is applicable to TV imaging in general including such areas as advanced television systems, industrial and biomedical video systems.
