Abstract: In a display control circuit (200) of a display device, an image pattern detection portion (230) detects whether an image is an anti-flicker pattern or not, and when it is an anti-flicker pattern, a backlight source is driven (typically, such that its luminance changes in the opposite phase relative to luminance changes that would occur), on the basis of predicted values, which are predetermined so as to compensate for the luminance changes that would occur. Moreover, the backlight is not turned on during the scanning period. As a result, flicker due to current leakage, etc., can be reduced or eliminated in a display device for which a scanning period and a scan stop period are set.

Abstract: A pointing device is attached to a keyboard assembly. The pointing device includes an operation post; a sensor substrate that converts force applied to the operation post into an analog electric signal; a logic substrate that is attached to a rear surface of the keyboard assembly and generates a digital signal to move a cursor from the electric signal; and a cable that connects the sensor substrate and the logic substrate to each other. It is possible to reduce the area of a portion protruding to a lower side from the rear surface of the keyboard assembly in the vicinity of the operation post and to lower the height of the portion by separating the sensor substrate and the logic substrate from each other. Since the cable is separated from a motherboard, it is possible to reduce noise entering the cable which transmits an analog signal.

Abstract: A display device for improving display quality includes a pulse compensator, a gate driver, a source driver and a display panel. The pulse compensator generates a clock signal of which amplitude decreases when peripheral temperature increases and increases when peripheral temperature decreases. The gate driver outputs a gate driving signal to the display panel based on the clock signal, wherein an amplitude of the gate driving signal decreases when the peripheral temperature increases and the amplitude of the gate driving signal increases when the peripheral temperature decreases.

Therefore, the deterioration in the drive capability of the gate driver depending on the peripheral temperature may be prevented and display quality of the display device may be improved.
