  • Publication number: 20110096061
    Abstract: A driving method for a LED display panel time-anneals threshold voltage shifting of a driving transistor. The driving transistor has a gate terminal coupled to a data input terminal, a source terminal coupled to a cathode via a LED, and a drain terminal coupled to a system voltage. The method includes inserting a black image after an image frame is displayed. During the time period of inserting the black image, a positive voltage is applied to the cathode to turn off the LED. A negative bias from the gate terminal to the drain terminal is produced to cause voltage level of the gate terminal to be less than the source terminal.

  • Publication number: 20110090160
    Abstract: A display device including a display circuit, a touch panel, a detection circuit, and a sensing circuit is disclosed. The display circuit generates a plurality of driving signals. The touch panel displays an image according to the driving signals. The detection circuit detects the display circuit. When the display circuit stops generating the driving signals, the detection circuit asserts a control signal. The sensing circuit detects the touch panel to obtain whether an area of the touch panel is touched when the control signal is asserted.

  • Publication number: 20100164931
    Abstract: A pixel circuit adaptable for a pixel array including a first scan line and a second scan line is provided. An illumination unit is coupled to a first node, including a light emitting diode that illuminates based on a voltage level of the first node. A first circuit is coupled to the first node, the first scan line and a data signal. A second circuit including one or more transistors, is coupled to the first node, the second scan line and a reference voltage. The second scan line has a scan order before that of the first scan line by one or more lines. When the first scan line is activated, the first circuit passes the data signal to the first node. When the second scan line is activated, the second circuit passes the reference voltage to the first node.

  • Patent number: 7269530
    Abstract: A wireless transmission method for tire detection signals increases the percentage of successfully received tire detection signals received by the receiving unit and extends the usage life of batteries. A delay time for emitting the tire detection signals via the detection unit is calculated according to the acceleration of the tire. The operation time for one rotation of the tire is divided into several equal periods. Then, the tire detection signals are emitted to the receiving unit via a wireless transmission method.
