  • Patent number: 11929019
    Abstract: A method for processing a static pattern in an image and a circuit system are provided. In the method, each of frames of a video is divided into multiple areas. Several algorithms are used to calculate a static pattern index of every area. The static pattern index is used as a reference for determining if the area covers part or entire of a static pattern. An index threshold can be used to check the areas that are determined as the static pattern initially. A time threshold is then used to confirm the areas with the static pattern in every frame. Image data of the areas which are determined as the static patterns can then be adjusted, such as having brightness of the area that is determined as part or entire of the static patterns decreased, for preventing the display panel from negative effects of the static pattern.

  • Patent number: 11901885
    Abstract: A PWM-based (pulse width modulation-based) overcurrent protection circuit and an operating method for the same are provided. The PWM-based overcurrent protection circuit includes a pulse-width-modulation circuit that is connected to a charge pump and a load detection circuit of a power-switch circuit. The charge pump outputs a voltage to the power-switch circuit according to a clock-voltage signal. The load detection circuit is used to detect an overcurrent flowing through the power-switch circuit according to a load at an output end of the power-switch circuit. Thus, when the load detection circuit detects the overcurrent, the pulse-width-modulation circuit controls a duty-cycle width of the charge pump, so as to suppress the voltage outputted by the charge pump. Therefore, an output voltage from the power-switch circuit can be corrected for preventing or reducing the overcurrent.
