  • Patent number: 8373816
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display (LCD) device includes an LCD panel displaying an image, a light source providing the LCD panel with light, a light source flexible printed circuit board (FPCB), a printed circuit board (PCB), and a receiving container. The PCB is electrically connected to the LCD panel. The PCB is in contact with two ends of the light source FPCB. The receiving container is combined with the light source FPCB and the PCB. The receiving container has a through-hole through which the light source FPCB passes. According to the present invention, the receiving container applies pressure so that both ends of the light source FPCB make contact with the PCB and the light source FPCB is electrically connected to the PCB. The light source FPCB, the receiving container, and the PCB are secured to each other. Therefore, the number of steps required to assembly the LCD device may be reduced.

  • Patent number: 8207958
    Abstract: A display that has rush current reduction during power-on is provided. A display panel that displays an image includes a gate line and a data line. A voltage generator receives a supply voltage and outputs a gate-on voltage and a gate-off voltage to first and second output nodes, respectively. The voltage generator includes a pull-up capacitor that is charged for a first time period of a power-off period and is discharged for a second time period of the power-off period to increase a voltage level of the second output node, the first and second time periods being consecutive periods of the power-off period. A gate driver selectively applies a gate-on voltage or a gate-off voltage to the gate lines, and a data driver applies a data voltage to the data line.

  • Patent number: 8013824
    Abstract: A sequence control unit includes a voltage input/output unit to receive a driving voltage, and to output the driving voltage after a delay time. A memory stores an output time corresponding to the driving voltage, a clock generating unit generates a clock, a clock counter counts the clock in response to a counting signal, and a sequence controller supplies the counting signal corresponding to the output timing to the clock counter from the memory. The sequence controller receives the number of clock cycles or time associated with the number of clock cycles counted by the clock counter as clock counting information, and controls the delay time output of the driving voltage according to the clock counting information. A driving method for driving the sequence control unit is disclosed, and the sequence control unit may be included in a liquid crystal display device.
