  • Patent number: 8836630
    Abstract: A source driver including a controller, a plurality of flip-flops, a plurality of shift registers and a plurality of driving channels is provided. The controller extracts control information from an image data stream. Each of the flip-flops respectively receives a corresponding control bit of the control information, and output the corresponding control bit. The shift registers correspond to the flip-flops one by one, and sequentially transmit an enable pulse. Each of the shift registers determines whether to output the enable pulse according to the control bit outputted by the corresponding flip-flop. The driving channels correspond to the shift registers one by one. Each of the driving channels switches an operation state into an enable mode or a disable mode according to the enable pulse outputted by the corresponding shift register.

  • Patent number: 8520033
    Abstract: An image display system and a pixel array driving method thereof are disclosed. The image display system has a source driver having a first and a second digital-to-analog converter and a first and a second switching circuit. The first digital-to-analog converter converts an N-bit digital code to a first analog signal, where N is a positive integer. The second digital-to-analog converter converts a K-bit digital code to a second analog signal, where K is a positive integer and is smaller than N. The first switching circuit controls coupling between a first display data, a second display data and the first and second digital-to-analog converters, and, the second switching circuit controls connections between the first and second analog signals and a first and a second operational amplifier. The first and second operational amplifiers are coupled to a first and a second data line of a pixel array, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20120287055
    Abstract: A touch apparatus and a touch sensing method thereof are provided. The touch sensing method includes the following steps. A first touch unit and a second touch unit are detected at different scan periods to obtain a first original signal and a second original signal. A reference signal is obtained according to the second original signal. A subtraction is performed on the first original signal and the reference signal, so as to eliminate low frequency noise of the first original signal.

  • Patent number: 8289069
    Abstract: A touch apparatus including a touch capacitor and a touch control unit is provided. The touch control unit includes a signal sampling and saving unit, a switch unit, and a signal processing unit. The signal sampling and saving unit samples and saves a voltage on the touch capacitor during enable periods of a sample signal and a charge reset signal, so as to generate a touch voltage and a reset voltage respectively, and further generate an average voltage of the touch voltage and the reset voltage according to an equalization signal. The switch unit receives and transmits the touch voltage, the reset voltage, and the average voltage according to a first control signal. The signal processing unit couples the touch voltage, the reset voltage, the average voltage, and a common voltage according to a second control signal, so as to generate a first coupling voltage and a second coupling voltage.
