  • Publication number: 20090288045
    Abstract: Full-chip scan data can be advantageously used during design planning to minimize top-level scan wires and scan feedthroughs. The scan cells can be reordered using a modified cost function to promote connecting all scan cells in one plan group before crossing to a scan cell in another plan group. The modified cost function can take into account penalty parameters. The penalty parameters can include at least one of: membership in a plan group or a top-level physical hierarchy, size of a plan group, FLOATING/ORDERED scan element in scan data, location of endpoints of an ORDERED list, location of endpoints of a macro, and membership in a plan group containing a STOP point. Scan data, at the block-level and at the top-level, can be automatically updated to reflect the plan groups and optimized scan chains.

  • Publication number: 20090078852
    Abstract: An area-control based LED backlight system for a panel is divided into a plurality of independently controllable light emitting regions. A single color sensor or light sensor detects light emitting status of the regions. Reference values corresponding to the regions are set based on a white balance parameter. The reference values are compared to the light emitting status of the regions for performing color components ratio calibration, so as to compensate luminance and chrominance of light emitted from the regions and lightening the panel. Further, a single light sensor is used for detecting light emitted from LED sets of a whole-panel based LED backlight system for a panel. A reference value is compared to a detection result of the light sensor for generating a color component calibration parameter, so as to compensate luminance and chrominance of light emitted from the LED sets and lightening the panel.
