Abstract: A driving circuit for driving a display panel including a plurality of cells arranged in rows. The driving circuit comprises a gate electrode driving circuit to provide a gate voltage to a row of cells, a common electrode driving circuit to provide a common voltage to the row of cells, and an external capacitor coupled to the gate electrode driving circuit and the common electrode driving circuit to provide an additional gate voltage to the row of cells. The external capacitor is charged by a potential difference between the common voltage and the gate voltage.

Abstract: A DC-DC converter circuit includes an inductor having an inductor current, an inductor current emulation circuit for producing an emulated inductor current, and a control circuit coupled with the emulation circuit for receiving the emulated inductor current and determining a peak inductor current for the DC-DC converter.

Abstract: According to the present invention, a display driver includes a voltage and current source that drive pixels and compensate for parasitic voltage to produce row pixels having intensities that are relatively uncorrelated to the number of “ON” pixels in a given row. The voltage source that provides the pre-charge for each pixel includes a constant value and a compensation voltage determined based on the number of “ON” pixels in each row. The compensation voltage is also determined based on the characteristics of the diodes associated with each pixel and the resistance associated the common ground of each row.
