  • Publication number: 20250201164
    Abstract: A method for driving a display panel is provided. The method includes: receiving a first display data having a first data sequence; rearranging the first display data to generate a second display data according to at least one setting signal; and outputting the second display data to drive the display panel. The second display data has a second data sequence different from the first data sequence.

  • Publication number: 20250201201
    Abstract: A driver circuit including a switch circuit and a source driver circuit is provided. The switch circuit is configured to receive an input display data and output an output display data according to two control signals. The input display data and the output display data have different data arrangement. The source driver circuit is coupled to the switch circuit. The source driver circuit is configured to output the output display data to drive a display panel via the switch circuit. An applying sequence of the two control signals is adjusted according to at least one adjustment signal, and the two control signals are applied to switch sets of the switch circuit according to the applying sequence.

  • Patent number: 10148011
    Abstract: An antenna structure including a substrate, a grounding layer, a first antenna layer, a second antenna layer, an inductance element and a capacitance element is provided. The substrate has a surface. The grounding layer is formed on the surface of the substrate. The first antenna layer includes a first radiating portion and a second radiating portion. The second antenna layer includes a third radiating portion and a fourth radiating portion. The third radiating portion is connected to the first radiating portion at a connection portion. The connection portion is separated from the grounding player, and the fourth radiating portion and the second radiating portion are disposed oppositely and separated from each other. The inductance element bridges the grounding layer and the connection portion. The capacitance element bridges the fourth radiating portion and the second radiating portion.

  • Publication number: 20080012817
    Abstract: A driving method for a display panel generates AC-converting signals by setting pin levels of a driving circuit. Data pins of a driving circuit operating in a common mode are set according to a frequency-dividing ratio. Based on a line latch pulse signal and the data pins of the driving circuit operating in common mode, a corresponding AC-converting signal is generated and sent to another driving circuit operating in segment mode or common mode.

  • Publication number: 20020165061
    Abstract: A transmission assembly for a beach vehicle includes a driving member which has pawls extending therefrom and a shaft extends through the driving member. A ring has recesses defined in an outer periphery thereof and a plurality of teeth are defined in an inner periphery of the ring. The pawls engaged with the recesses in the ring and a planet gear assembly is engaged with the teeth in the ring. A control member is movably mounted to the shaft and has protrusions extending from two sides of the control member. The protrusions are movably and alternatively engaged with concavities defined in a side of the driving member and the planet gear assembly so as to function the beach vehicle forward or backward.
