  • Patent number: 8355587
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a processing circuit and a storage system. The processing circuit generates a first processing result and a second processing result by processing a first horizontal line group of a first frame and a second horizontal line group of a second frame preceding the first frame, respectively. The storage system includes: a frame buffer; a write circuit for storing the first processing result into the frame buffer; a read circuit for reading the second processing result from the frame buffer; and a timing controller for controlling the write circuit to start storing the first processing result at a first time point not prior to a specific time point when the processing circuit finishes receiving the first horizontal line group, and controlling the read circuit to start reading the second processing result at a second time point which is prior to the specific time point.

  • Patent number: 8295619
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a storage device, an image detection circuit, a compression circuit, a decompression circuit, and an overdrive processing circuit. The image detection circuit generates a compression mode control signal according to a first frame. The compression circuit compresses an image data of a second frame according to the compression mode control signal, thereby generating a compressed image data of the second frame to the storage device. The first frame precedes the second frame. The decompression circuit decompresses the compressed image data of the second frame read from the storage device according to the compression mode control signal, thereby generating a recovered image data of the second frame. The overdrive processing circuit determines overdrive voltages of a third frame according to an image data of the third frame and the recovered image data of the second frame, where the second frame precedes the third frame.

  • Patent number: 7649568
    Abstract: An image data decoding method of an image vertical blanking interval (VBI) and device thereof can adjust a run-in clock signal of data lines of teletext to a data phase of teletext data lines. The method can accurately decode data of the teletext data lines to avoid a phase bias and an erroneous decoding result. A main technical method to decode the data of the VBI is to extract the data of the teletext data lines to determine corresponding bit logical values of the image data and then to output a decode result and also output a phase adjustment value. The phase adjustment value is used to adjust a read phase value of the extracted image so as to synchronize a data phase in VBI.
