Abstract: A method and apparatus for navigating an image viewed on a display screen. The image is controlled by a processor that receives navigational commands selected on a touchscreen of an auxiliary display device. The touchscreen is partitioned into a plurality of navigational control areas. Each navigational control area is associated with a different navigational command. When one of the navigational control areas of the touchscreen is selected, the navigational command associated with the selected navigational control area is transmitted to the processor. The processor receives and executes the transmitted navigational command to navigate the image. The boundaries of the control areas are normally hidden from view, but can be revealed on the touchscreen in response to a user input.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of autostereoscopically displaying an N-viewpoint image on a screen having display pixels disposed in rows and columns, each display pixel presenting p>1 color points, corresponding to first, second, . . . , and pth color components, in which method the pixels of an autostereoscopic image to be displayed are displayed by distributing in space the p color points of each pixel amongst the color points of corresponding color components in p different display pixels, the method of the invention starting from a “high definition” autostereoscopic image presenting at least as many pixels having p color points as the N viewpoint image has color points to generate a said autostereoscopic image to be displayed in which each pixel is a color point of the corresponding color component of p different pixels in the high definition autostereoscopic image.

Abstract: A method and device for driving a plasma display panel is provided in which a drop of an increasing voltage rate due to discharge is prevented, and a reset period is shortened. In driving a plasma display panel by applying an increasing voltage to cells of a display screen during a reset period for equalizing charge of the cells, an increasing voltage signal is supplied to an impedance conversion circuit in which an output impedance is lower than an input impedance, and the output signal of the impedance conversion circuit is supplied to the cells.

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the invention is a backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) monitor comprising a backlight assembly, a cooling assembly, a rear cover assembly and a controller. The controller monitors temperature and controls cooling accordingly. The controller also monitors bulb luminance and adjusts bulb current accordingly. Faults are monitored and logged so that predictive repair before failure analysis may be performed.

Abstract: An aluminum-extruded LCD frame at least comprises an aluminum-extruded front molding, a backing pad, a support, and a plurality of mobile clamps permissible to slide along the rim of the frame for properly adjusting and locking the LCD panel in the frame. This aluminum-extruded LCD frame has specific features in lightweight, environment-friendliness and economics in production. This frame provides the concave rib and convex groove at butt joint as the most effective shield against the electromagnetic wave to minimize the radiation emitted from the LCD panel. In particular, the mobile clamps are designed to slide along a concave track on the backing pad and to hold up the LCD panel in any size within the frame. This universal application profits in honing the competitive edge and ease to promote the sale volume.
