Publication number: 20140267206Abstract: For each display line cycle, inputs to a pair of differential input terminals of a driving circuit are alternately switched in a cycle shorter than the display line cycle between a gradation voltage and a reference voltage. According to this, a chopping operation of switching polarities of offset appearing at the output of the driving circuit within one display line is performed for a plurality of times, and accordingly, a pixel of each display line maintains brightness information in which the chopping operation is already performed. As a result, although a frame cycle is lengthened, it is difficult to visually recognize a brightness difference caused by the offset.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2014Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: Renesas SP Drivers Inc.Inventors: Toshiyuki Takani, Toshikazu Tachibana, Shinobu Notomi, Takesada Akiba

Publication number: 20140235265Abstract: An illustrative dynamic proximity control system uses proximity to a mobile user's mobile station as a proxy for predicting which of several remote-controlled targets the mobile user wishes to remote-control via the mobile station or via a centralized controller in communication with the mobile station. The system dynamically sorts, filters, and arranges how the mobile user perceives the remote-controlled targets. The system and method enhance the mobile user's immediate access to targets that are close by, e.g., within the same room as the mobile user, by dynamically tailoring the choices provided to the user on the mobile station's display. Thus, the mobile user is presented with nearby choices that are likely candidates for remote control. Remote targets are filtered out. The system optionally includes location-beacon devices associated with each of the remote-controlled targets.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2013Publication date: August 21, 2014Applicant: HOMERSOFT SP.

Publication number: 20140232954Abstract: The driver IC used to activate a display panel has a free region which is proactively provided therein so as to separate its external connection terminals from an edge side thereof by a distance representing at least one row of the terminals. In mounting the driver IC on a display panel by COG technique, the driver IC may be COG-mounted so that bent parts of lead-out lines led out from the display panel and bent at a midway along their lengths to have a narrowed pitch are in position to overlie the free region. The same effect as achieved by reducing the size of the short side of the driver IC by the size of the free region can be obtained. According to the invention, the reduction in frame size of an image-display panel can be readily realized without the need for reducing the chip size of a driver IC.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2014Publication date: August 21, 2014Applicant: Renesas SP Drivers Inc.Inventor: Shinya Suzuki
