  • Patent number: 8395610
    Abstract: A driving chip includes a main input part, a plurality of circuit cells and an auxiliary input part. The main input part includes a plurality of input terminals which receive an external signal. The circuit cells generate a driving signal in response to a signal applied from the main input part. The auxiliary input part is spaced apart from the circuit cells by a first distance that is shorter than a second distance between the main input part and the auxiliary input part. The auxiliary input part receives the external signal and applies the external signal to the circuit cells. Therefore, line resistance variation between the circuit cells of the driving chip and a power input terminal may be decreased, so that driving chip defects may be prevented.

  • Publication number: 20120242931
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display panel displaying an image. A backlight assembly is disposed under the display panel. A phase delaying plate is disposed on the display panel. The backlight assembly emits a collimated light in a direction substantially perpendicular to the display panel. The phase delaying plate includes a phase delaying layer. The phase delaying layer includes a first pattern delaying a phase of the light passing the display panel by a first phase and a second pattern delaying the phase of the light passing the display panel by a second phase. The second phase is different from the first phase. Accordingly, a spatial crosstalk may be minimized and the optimal viewing angle of the display apparatus may be increased.
