  • Patent number: 11430361
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC), a display device and an anti-interference method thereof are provided. The IC includes an input pad, a source driving circuit and an anti-interference circuit. The input pad receives an input signal comprising image data from the external. The source driving circuit is coupled to the input pad to receive the input signal. The anti-interference circuit is coupled to the input pad to provide a variable capacitance. The anti-interference circuit adjusts the variable capacitance from a normal capacitance value to at least one anti-interference capacitance value when an interference event occurs to the input signal. The anti-interference circuit maintains the variable capacitance at the normal capacitance value when the interference event does not occur.

  • Patent number: 10971090
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for a source driver, for preventing image sticking in a display panel coupled to the source driver. The source driver includes a first output driver and a second output driver having different polarities. The first output driver is configured with a first driving capability and the second output driver is configured with a second driving capability. The method includes the steps of: obtaining an effective voltage of a pixel in the display panel; and adjusting the second driving capability of the second output driver to be identical to the first driving capability of the first output driver, to allow the adjusted second driving capability to drive the effective voltage to reach a level having the same magnitude as a level of the effective voltage driven by the first source driver with the same variation of display data.
