  • Patent number: 8605079
    Abstract: An integrated circuit device having a data line driving circuit and a position offset addition circuit that connects position offsets based on position offset setting values, wherein, among first pixel to p-th pixel of a plurality of pixels, a position offset register stores a first position offset setting value corresponding to the first pixel and a p-th position offset setting value corresponding to the p-th pixel among the first pixel to the p-th pixel; among first image data to p-th image data respectively corresponding to the first pixel to the p-th pixel, the position offset addition circuit processes a position offset correction value based on the first position offset setting value to the first image data, and processes a position offset correction value based on the p-th position offset setting value to the p-th image data among the first image data to p-th image data, to correct the position offsets.

  • Patent number: 8462106
    Abstract: Systems and methods control resizing a presentation of an image on a flexible display. A user flexes a flexible display in a particular manner to control magnification or size reduction of the image presented on the display. The amount of magnification or size reduction of the image presented on a flexible display increases along with the absolute magnitude of flexible display flexing. The flexible display can be double flexed within a defined time to indicate that another action is to be taken, such as fitting the presently displayed document to the width of the flexible display or fitting the entire document to the flexible display. The direction of flexing, such as flexing in a concave or a convex direction, is a flexing characteristic that causes other desired actions.

  • Patent number: 8441438
    Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) pointing device capable of accurately outputting a deviation including yaw, pitch and roll angles in a 3D reference frame and preferably in an absolute manner is provided. Said 3D pointing device comprises a six-axis motion sensor module including a rotation sensor and an accelerometer, and a processing and transmitting module. The six-axis motion sensor module generates a first signal set comprising angular velocities and a second signal set comprising axial accelerations associated with said movements and rotations of the 3D pointing device in the 3D reference frame. The processing and transmitting module utilizes a comparison method to compare the first signal set with the second signal set to obtain an updated state of the six-axis motion sensor module based on a current state and a measured state thereof in order to output the resulting deviation in the 3D reference frame and preferably in an absolute manner.
