Abstract: A driver chip for controlling a high-resolution display panel is presented. The driver chip is not much larger than a conventional driver chip that is currently used for lower resolution display panels. The driver chip applies data signals to the data lines of the display panel and gate control signals to a gate driver that is formed in the peripheral region of the display panel. The gate driver, which may be made of amorphous silicon TFTs, generates gate signals in response to the gate control signals from the driver chip and applies the gate signals to gate lines. Since the driver chip of the invention controls more gate lines and data lines than a conventional chip of about the same size, the driver chip may be easily adapted for display devices having multiple panels. Where multiple panels are used, the panels may be scanned simultaneously or sequentially.

Abstract: A display apparatus includes first and second display panels, a driver chip and a first flexible printed circuit. The first display panel displays a first image in response to first driving signals. The second display panel displays a second image in response to second driving signals. The driver chip is disposed between the first and second display panels, and the driver chip provides the first and second driving signals to the first and second display panels. The first flexible printed circuit is disposed between the first and second display panels, and the first flexible printed circuit applies the second driving signal generated from the driver chip to the second display panel. Therefore, an electrical resistance is reduced, so that a signal delay is prevented to enhance display qualities.

Abstract: A driver chip for controlling a high-resolution display panel is presented. The driver chip is not much larger than a conventional driver chip that is currently used for lower resolution display panels. The driver chip applies data signals to the data lines of the display panel and gate control signals to a gate driver that is formed in the peripheral region of the display panel. The gate driver, which may be made of amorphous silicon TFTs, generates gate signals in response to the gate control signals from the driver chip and applies the gate signals to gate lines. Since the driver chip of the invention controls more gate lines and data lines than a conventional chip of about the same size, the driver chip may be easily adapted for display devices having multiple panels. Where multiple panels are used, the panels may be scanned simultaneously or sequentially.

Abstract: A display device includes a display panel and a voltage generating part. The display panel includes a switching element, a main pixel section, a coupling capacitor and a sub pixel section. The main pixel section is electrically connected to the switching element. The coupling capacitor has a first end electrically connected to the switching element. The sub pixel section is electrically connected to a second end of the coupling capacitor. The voltage generating part controls data voltages corresponding to a gray-scale in a range from a low gray-scale to a high gray-scale that corresponds to a saturation voltage of the sub pixel section for displaying an image. The data voltages are applied to the display panel. Therefore, the viewing angle and the luminance are improved.
