Patent number: 7830332Abstract: A multi-display (e.g., dual-display) driving circuit includes a first display driving circuit configured to receive a first display signal and a second display signal from an external source (e.g., CPU) through a first interface, and to drive a first display panel in response to the first display signal and to output the second display signal through a second interface of the first display driving circuit. The second display signal is transmitted via the second interface to a second driving circuit configured to drive a second display panel. Therefore, the complexity of the wiring (e.g., through a hinge of a folding phone, and between a CPU and first and second displays) of the multi-display device may be reduced, and the electromagnetic interference (EMI) characteristics of the multi-display device may be enhanced.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2006Date of Patent: November 9, 2010Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Sang-Yong Park, Min-Seok Song, Hyeok-Chul Kwon

Patent number: 6337545Abstract: A CRT driving voltage generating apparatus which can be realized and integrated at low cost, and can prevent breakdown and malfunction of circuits by actively adapting to a change in the frequency of a horizontal synchronous signal, and a CRT driving voltage generating method performed by the apparatus are provided. In this apparatus, a first comparator compares a reference value with the peak value of a fly back pulse. A stability controller shifts the level of the result of the comparison using a current mirroring technique and outputs a compared signal having a shifted level. A second comparator compares the compared signal with a sensing signal to obtain a reset signal. A pulse width modulated signal generator outputs a pulse width modulated signal having a level which is determined in response to the logic levels of a clock signal and a reset signal. A driving voltage generator generates the CRT driving voltage in response to the pulse width modulated signal.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2000Date of Patent: January 8, 2002Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hyeok-chul Kwon
