  • Publication number: 20030030633
    Abstract: The invention provides A power-saving Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) driving method, which does not drive the non-display region on an LCD display panel to save power. The driving method includes the steps: separating the display and non-display zones on a LCD display panel; stopping supply of external power and signal to the non-display zones and actively driving the LCD. The LCD driving step includes determining whether or not the lamp lighting the non-display zone on the LCD panel is active through a regulator and/or whether the LCD display matrix circuit powering the non-display zone on the LCD panel is active through a timing controller.

  • Patent number: 6476590
    Abstract: This invention relates to a residual image improving system for a LCD, thereby effectively improving the residual image effect. The improving system includes: a power supply for providing an operating power; a voltage detector for detecting the voltage level of an external power by comparison to a predetermined voltage level under the operating power and producing a control signal by comparing the result; and a video and timing control unit for outputting a predetermined pattern to the LCD according to the control signal so as to improve the residual image effect.

  • Publication number: 20020113768
    Abstract: The invention is a display panel with dot or column inversion capable of saving power, which uses shunt resistors composed of thin film transistors (TFTs) and an inverter to balance the positive and negative charge or reduce the difference between the positive and negative charge, thereby decreasing power consumption in the switch.

  • Publication number: 20020053999
    Abstract: This invention relates to an auto-improving display flicker method to eliminate all possible display flicker effects. The method includes the steps: detecting the display flicker level and producing a detection voltage; comparing the detection voltage with a predetermined voltage; automatically switching the currently used inversion technique into an alternately predetermined display flicker processing technique if the detection voltage is greater than the predetermined voltage.
