Patent number: 8552964Abstract: A plurality of point-light sources emits light, based on an image displayed on a display panel. A substrate has the point-light sources disposed thereon. A power-controlling section provides the point-light sources with first driving current having a pulse current with a pulse modulation duty less than or equal to a maximum pulse modulation duty cycle and a first amplitude in accordance with a normal image. A power-controlling section provides the point-light sources with second driving current having a pulse current with the maximum pulse modulation duty cycle and first boosting amplitude greater than the first amplitude in accordance with a high luminance image. Thus, the quantity of emitted light of the point-light sources may be adjusted in accordance with the position of an image displayed in a display panel, and the point-light sources that correspond to high luminance images may be boosted up.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2007Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Samsung Display Co., Ltd.Inventors: Gi-Cherl Kim, Moon-Hwan Chang, Jeom-Oh Kim

Publication number: 20090262065Abstract: A liquid crystal display includes a liquid crystal panel having display blocks arranged in a first matrix thereon, and light-emitting blocks which provide light to the liquid crystal panel. Each of the light-emitting blocks corresponds to a corresponding column of the first matrix and provides the light to a corresponding column of display blocks in the corresponding column of the first matrix. A frame during which an image is displayed on the liquid crystal display is divided into time slots, and a number of the time slots is equal to a number of the corresponding display blocks included in each column of the first matrix. A luminance of the light provided by each of the light-emitting blocks during each time slot of the frame is controlled based on an image data signal supplied to the corresponding column of the first matrix.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2009Publication date: October 22, 2009Applicant: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Ho-Sik SHIN, Se-Ki PARK, Eun-Jeong KANG, Jeom-Oh KIM, Hee-Kwang SONG

Publication number: 20090135128Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a backlight unit assembly is provided with a lamp and a light emitting diode (LED) periodically turned on and off, and a liquid crystal display having the backlight unit assembly. A light source is configured with both the lamp and the LED, and the LED is periodically turned on and off by applying a start signal, which are capable of removing image sticking on a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel. This feature may reduce power consumption and increase contrast ratio. The backlight unit assembly and the LCD are capable of adjusting a chromaticity coordinate of the light source to a reference chromaticity coordinate.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2008Publication date: May 28, 2009Inventors: Eun-Chae JEON, Si-Joon Song, Jeom-Oh Kim
