Abstract: A pixel circuit of an organic EL display includes a driving transistor for transmitting a driving current to an organic EL element. A first capacitor is connected between a gate and a source of the driving transistor, and a second capacitor is connected between the gate thereof and a boosting scan line. A voltage corresponding to a data current from a data line is stored in the first capacitor in response to a select signal from a selecting scan line. The voltage level of the boosting scan line is changed so that the voltage of the first capacitor is changed by coupling of the first and second capacitors. The driving current corresponding to the changed voltage flows to the organic EL element to emit light. As a result, the current flowing to the organic EL element can be controlled using a large data current, and the influence of the parasitic capacitance components of the transistors or data lines can be minimized.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a flat panel display whose brightness is adjusted based on inputted signals. In the flat panel display of the present invention, the pixels of the display panel are formed with capacitors for temporarily storing voltages corresponding to signals applied to the data lines responding to the scan signals applied to the scan lines and the pictures are displayed based on the voltages stored in the capacitors. Also, the display period controller controls a first period for storing a first voltage corresponding to a gray level of a picture to be displayed in the capacitors during one frame and a second period for storing a second voltage representing a black level in the capacitors, depending on a first signal representing a brightness level. Accordingly, the brightness of a variety of levels can be expressed without having to adjust a level of data voltage.

Abstract: In an organic EL display, a scan driver is divided into several scan driving units, and the each scan driving unit includes a plurality of flip-flops and a plurality of buffer units each receiving an output of the flip-flop as an input.

Abstract: Disclosed is an image display apparatus having, in every pixel, a light-emitting element such as an organic electro-luminescence (EL) element of which the brightness is controlled by a current. The image display apparatus includes transistors that form a current mirror in the pixel and using a pixel structure having two scan lines, so as to select pixels of at least two rows simultaneously, distribute the current applied to the data line to the pixel for recording display information and the adjacent pixel, and record the display information on the pixel of no more than one row among the selected pixels. This drastically increases the current for driving the data line and decreases the size of the transistors that form the current mirror in the pixel.

Abstract: In a display, capacitors are charged with first precharge voltages at the time of applying selection signals to previous scan lines. A data driver divides a plurality of data lines into a plurality of groups each of which consists of at least one data line and applies corresponding data voltages to the data lines of respective groups sequentially. The display further includes a precharge means, and such precharge means applies second precharge voltages to data lines of at least one group before selection signals for selecting scan line are applied to the scan line connected to the pixel circuits and stops application of the second precharge voltages before corresponding data voltages are applied to the respective groups. In this way, it is possible to solve the problem of poor images due to charge redistribution of the capacitors caused by previous data voltages stored in parasitic capacitors.

Abstract: An asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) protection triggering method using “received-AIS” flag determines whether the failure generation position is generated within a protected domain or not, by determining whether the “received-AIS” flag is “0” in case that a node detecting a failure link transmits an end-to-end AIS cell to a downstream side node, and a source point passing the end-to-end AIS cell sets the “received-AIS” flag to “1” and then receives “AIS cell receiving” signal from a sink point of the protected domain, thereby obviating a CRC-10 calculation problem and a backward compatibility.
