  • Publication number: 20150235602
    Abstract: An image display method of a half-source-driving (HSD) liquid crystal display (LCD) for mitigating the screen flickering effect caused by applying a frame rate control (FRC) algorithm in the LCD includes providing a first gate sequence corresponding to a pixel array in the LCD display. If a target gray level of the pixel array is an average value of a first gray level and a second gray level, write the first gray level to a plurality of sub-pixels of the pixel array being charged first according to the first gate sequence, and write the second gray level smaller than the first gray level to a plurality of sub-pixels of the pixel array being charged latter according to the first gate sequence.

  • Patent number: 8730140
    Abstract: An LCD panel with function of compensating feed-through effect includes plural groups of pixels, a gate-driving circuit, a data-driving circuit, and a gamma voltage generator. Each group of pixels includes first pixel and second pixel. The first pixel and the second pixel share a data line, and are respectively coupled to first gate line and second gate line. When the gate-driving circuit drives the first gate line, the gamma voltage generator provides un-compensated gamma voltages for the data-driving circuit writing data to the first pixel. When the gate-driving circuit drives the first and the second gate lines at the same time, the gamma voltage generator provides gamma voltages compensated by a compensating voltage level for the data-driving circuit writing data to the second pixel. In this way, the feed-through effect suffered by the second pixel is compensated, so that each pixel of the LCD panel can display with correct brightness.

  • Publication number: 20120120117
    Abstract: A HSD display device is adapted to receive data from a signal source and includes multiple pixel sets. Each pixel sets includes first pixel and second pixel. The first pixel is electrically coupled to a first data line and a first gate line. The second pixel is electrically coupled to the first pixel and a second gate line. The first gate line and the second gate line respectively are for controlling the first pixel and the second pixel whether to receive the data. In a driving method of the HSD display device, a common voltage is provided to the first and second pixels, and the common voltage is modulated to have two different voltage levels at a same side of a data central voltage. The data central voltage is an average of data voltages with different polarities from the signal source for displaying a same gray level.
