  • Patent number: 8860700
    Abstract: A driving circuit of an LCD device and related driving method is provided. The driving circuit includes a thermal sensor and a power IC. The thermal sensor is configured to detect the operational temperature of the LCD device, thereby generating a corresponding thermal signal. The power IC is configured to provide a plurality of clock signals for driving a gate driver of the LCD device, and adjust the effective pulse widths of the plurality of clock signals according to the thermal signal.

  • Patent number: 8773418
    Abstract: By following properties that there is coupled noise, which is coupled from a display panel, within at least one common voltage used on the display panel, the at least one common voltage is fed-back into a pixel electrode driving module, and driving voltages are generated accordingly, so that the generated driving voltages carry noises closes to coupled noises of the display panel. As a result, while the driving voltages carrying noises from the at least one common voltage, the pixel electrode driving module is capable of driving a corresponding pixel electrode with a stable voltage difference, and thereby capable of relieving horizontal crosstalk and raising a display quality of the display panel.

  • Patent number: 8659628
    Abstract: A method for controlling gate signals of a liquid crystal display (LCD), including generating gate signal with a modulated pulse width according to the gate signal with a default pulse width; when the LCD is booting up, outputting the gate signal with the modulated pulse width; and when a backlight module of the LCD is turned on, switching the gate signal with the modulated pulse width to the gate signal with the default pulse width. This way, the pulse width of the gate signal is increased after the LCD is boot up and before the backlight module is turned on, enabling the LCD to be boot properly in low temperature, without the need to raise the voltage level of the gate signal.
