  • Patent number: 7154312
    Abstract: An apparatus for generating an internal clock signal for acquisition of accurate synchronization is provided. The apparatus including: an input buffer for buffering the external clock signal to output a first reference clock signal; a delay compensation circuit for delaying the first reference clock signal; a forward delay array; a mirror control circuit comprising a plurality of phase detectors for detecting delayed clock signals synchronized with a second reference clock signal; a backward delay array; and an output buffer to generate an internal clock signal. An internal clock signal in accurate synchronization with the reference clock signal can be generated by minimizing the delay and distortion of the reference clock signal.

  • Patent number: 7116299
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes dual bank type source driver PCBs installed at the top and the bottom of a liquid crystal panel, a gate driver PCB, and a staple-shaped main PCB formed in a body with a top portion and a bottom portion proceeding in the horizontal direction and a side portion proceeding in the vertical direction. The top portion and the bottom portion of the main PCB axially meet the side portion of the main PCB at a predetermined angle. A timing controller is mounted at the main PCB to process signals input from outside and generate driving signals. The main PCB transmits the relevant driving signals to the respective source driver PCBs and the gate driver PCB.
