  • Patent number: 8009133
    Abstract: A display panel includes a first switching element, a liquid crystal capacitor and a second switching element. The first switching element receives a gate signal and a data signal. The liquid crystal capacitor is connected to the first switching element, and charged with an initial pixel voltage corresponding to the data signal. The second switching element operates in response to a compensation gate signal applied from a compensation gate line. The compensation capacitor is connected to the second switching element to reduce the liquid crystal capacitor's voltage to a value below the initial pixel voltage when the second switching element is turned on. Accordingly, motion blur can be reduced or eliminated.

  • Patent number: 7973785
    Abstract: In a control board and a display apparatus, the control board includes a timing controller, and first and second connectors. The timing controller receives a first external image control signal having one of a first and a second frequency, and selectively receives a second external image control signal having the first frequency when the first external image control signal has the first frequency. The timing controller selects one of the first and second frequencies based on the first and second external image control signals to output an image driving signal. The first connector connects the timing controller to an external video system to transfer the first external image control signal to the timing controller. The second connector connects the timing controller to the external video system to transfer the second external image control signal to the timing controller. Thus, the control board is commonly used in the first and second frequencies.

  • Publication number: 20110148908
    Abstract: In a method of processing data of a display apparatus, red, green and blue data are gamut mapped as red, green, blue and white data. The red, green, blue and white data are reconstructed by means of subpixel rendering to generate metameric sets dot pixels composed for example of one such dot pixel having red and green color components and another such dot pixel having blue and white color components such that when the metameric set dot pixels is lit up it produces a white colored region on the display apparatus and when un-lit it appears as contrastingly dark colored region on the display apparatus. By selectively forcing one metameric set of dot pixels to be un-lit, the method allows an immediately adjacent metameric set of dot pixels to be lit-up as a contrasting white region on the display apparatus.
