  • Patent number: 7633466
    Abstract: A luminance adjustment apparatus for a plasma display panel (PDP) is proposed. The luminance adjustment apparatus includes a luminance controller, a gray level shifter and a power controller. The luminance controller outputs a gray level shifting signal and a power adjustment signal. The gray level shifter receives a first luminance video signal and the gray level shifting signal, after the first luminance video signal being level shifted according to the gray level shifting signal, a gray level shifted video signal is output. The power controller is used to receive the gray level shifted video signal and the power adjustment signal, after the gray level shifted video signal being power adjusted by the power adjustment signal, a sub-field controlling signal is output.

  • Patent number: 7250236
    Abstract: A color filter of liquid crystal display (LCD) panel is described. A surface property of a black matrix is changed by coating with an ink-repellent layer formed of cheap materials, to provide better separation between portions of a colored layer, thus reducing the cost of the ink-repellent layer and avoid overflowing while color ink drops are attaching onto a transparent substrate. In addition, a method of fabricating a color filter of LCD panel is described. The ink-repellent layer is transferred onto the black matrix, and then the colored layer is formed thereon. The ink-repellent layer effectively separates the colored layer. This method of the invention greatly diminishes the usage of the ink-repellent layer, steps of exposure and development, and the cost and time of fabricating the color filter.
