  • Publication number: 20150035736
    Abstract: A method for compensating voltages includes steps as follows. A reference voltage line is detected to obtain a first pulsation signal. A phase of the first pulsation signal is shifted to obtain a shift signal. The shift signal is compared with an ideal signal to obtain a difference signal. A phase of difference signal is inverted, and the phase-inverted difference signal is summed up with the ideal signal, so as to obtain a compensation signal. The compensation signal is outputted to the reference voltage line when the reference voltage line sends a second pulsation signal, so that a voltage of the reference voltage line becomes the ideal signal, wherein the ideal signal is a fixed voltage.

  • Patent number: 8368680
    Abstract: A start protection circuit of a gate driver, which is applied in a liquid crystal display, includes a detection circuit and a switch. The detection circuit monitors a gate low voltage to generate a control signal. The switch is electrically connected to the detection circuit and controlled by the control signal, for transmitting a gate high voltage. The detection circuit outputs the gate low voltage first and monitors if the gate low voltage has reached a predetermined level. When the gate low voltage has reached the predetermined level, the detection circuit turns on the switch to output the gate high voltage.
