  • Patent number: 11908429
    Abstract: A timing controller is provided. A data enable signal in a timing control module is regenerated by a signal regenerating module. A number of vertical valid display rows is regenerated as a vertical valid display period. A total charge time of all rows of pixels in each frame can be increased effectively. A horizontal blanking period is changed sequentially in a row-by-row manner, thereby compensating charge effects of rows of pixels accurately.

  • Patent number: 11620958
    Abstract: A display device and a controlling method thereof are provided. The display device includes a display panel, a backlight unit, and a time schedule controller. The display panel is configured to display images. Areas where afterimages of dynamic images occur are identified according to comparison results of dither values. Tailing phenomenon of the dynamic images may be relieved by transmitting backlight data without brightness to a second backlight sub-area corresponding to where the afterimages occur. Furthermore, because frequency multiplication is not applied, risks of display instability will not increase.

  • Patent number: 11521529
    Abstract: An electrostatic ignition protection method of a source driver of a display device and a display device are provided. When a time controller detects that a source driver has static electricity, the time controller controls the source driver not to output a driving signal for a preset duration and the preset duration is greater than an ignition threshold duration. This prevents the source driver having static electricity from accumulating enough heat in a short time to burn and fire.

    Abstract: A timing controller, a display panel and a driving method are proposed. The display panel includes a display sub-pixel and a virtual sub-pixel. The display sub-pixel includes first sub-pixels, second sub-pixels and third sub-pixels. If the grayscale information of the two adjacent first sub-pixels are the same, then a driving signal of the virtual sub-pixel is the same as a driving signal of a third sub-pixel close to the virtual sub-pixel; otherwise, the driving signal of the virtual sub-pixel is the same as a driving signal of the third sub-pixels, which are outnumbered in the histogram.
