  • Publication number: 20120050247
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display system for improving display color mismatch utilizes a pixel-charge delay circuit to generate a new latch-data signal for a source driver of the liquid crystal display system according to an output-enable signal and a latch-data signal generated by a timing control circuit of the liquid crystal display system. Therefore, when the source driver charges a pixel on an mth gate line, a switch corresponding to a pixel on an (m-1)th gate line is already completely turned off.

  • Patent number: 8096547
    Abstract: A sheet stopping structure includes a sheet pick-up arm, a sheet guide casing and a sheet stopper. A receiving recess is formed in the sheet guide casing. Two sliding slots are respectively formed in two sidewalls of the receiving recess. The sheet stopper is installed in the receiving recess, and movable along the two sliding slots. When the sheet pick-up arm is in a standby position, the sheet stopper is maintained in an upright status and protruded outside the surface of the sheet guide casing.

  • Patent number: 8061703
    Abstract: A sheet-feeding type scanning apparatus and an automatic sheet feeding method are provided. The sheet-feeding type scanning apparatus includes a scanning module, a first sheet input tray, a first sheet pick-up roller assembly, a sheet ejecting tray, a sheet transfer channel, a plurality of transfer roller assemblies, a sheet ejecting roller assembly, a sheet-feeding sensor and a clutch module. Once a first sheet article of multiple sheet articles placed on the first sheet input tray are fed into the internal portion of the sheet-feeding type scanning apparatus to trigger the sheet-feeding sensor, the clutch module is disabled. At this moment, a second sheet article placed on the first sheet input tray fails to be fed by the first sheet pick-up roller assembly. Therefore, the double feeding problem is solved.
