  • Patent number: 7285925
    Abstract: A backlight module control circuit of a multi-lamp display device includes a control unit, multiple lamp driving circuits and a fault detection unit. The control unit includes multiple signal output terminals. Input terminals of the lamp driving circuits are respectively coupled to a signal output terminal of the control unit and output terminals of the lamp driving circuits are respectively coupled to a terminal of a lamp. A fault detection unit includes multiple signal detection input terminals, which are respectively coupled to multiple lamp driving circuits and lamps. The fault detection unit can detect whether any one of the lamps is out of order and then output a signal to the control unit, so as to make the control unit shut down the driving circuit of the failure lamp and continue to maintain an operation of other normal lamps.

  • Publication number: 20070162677
    Abstract: An LCD display capable of connection to a hot-plug extension device has a microprocessor that includes a detecting port, a signal-out pin and a power pin. The detecting port is connected to at least two detecting switches. A power switch is connected to the signal-out pin and the power pin. The two detecting switches and the power switch are connected to the hot-plug extension device. The microprocessor judges if the extension device is connected to the display correctly using the detecting switch and decides if the power is allowed to activate the extension device.
