  • Patent number: 9336571
    Abstract: In a method of skin tone optimization in a color gamut mapping system, an image signal is first transformed from a predetermined color domain to an HSV color domain for generating an HSV image signal. Next, a skin tone optimization is performed on the HSV image signal for generating an adjusted saturation gain. Then, a color enhancement is performed on the HSV image signal according to the adjusted saturation gain and a color shift signal so as to generate a color enhancement signal. Finally, the color enhancement signal is transformed from the HSV color domain to the predetermined color domain.

  • Publication number: 20060243974
    Abstract: A thin-film transistor (TFT) is described to have a gate layer, an insulating layer, a semiconductor layer, and a source/drain layer formed on a flexible substrate. The source and the drain layers are separated by a channel with a special shape. This does not only increase the aspect ratio of the channel per unit area, the source and the drain also have multiple directions for transmitting carriers. The carrier mobility of the TFT is thus enhanced with uniform and stable circuit properties.

  • Patent number: 7081881
    Abstract: The present invention relates a time-sharing multiplexing driving method and framework for image signals. By means of a plurality of wiring paths, the turned-on orders of the signal switches of the pixel units in a liquid crystal panel (LCD) are sequentially controlled so that the pixel units of two adjacent phases in the panel can have the same turned-on order. This not only can avoid the situation where the switch control signal serial connecting path in the panel is so long that the control signal of the end switch will be seriously distorted for the excessively great load, but also make the variation amounts of the adjacent pixel data voltages the same. Therefore, the objective of the invention can be achieved. Namely, no joint space is generated during the image signal time-sharing multiplexing driving.
