Abstract: A driver chip for controlling a high-resolution display panel is presented. The driver chip is not much larger than a conventional driver chip that is currently used for lower resolution display panels. The driver chip applies data signals to the data lines of the display panel and gate control signals to a gate driver that is formed in the peripheral region of the display panel. The gate driver, which may be made of amorphous silicon TFTs, generates gate signals in response to the gate control signals from the driver chip and applies the gate signals to gate lines. Since the driver chip of the invention controls more gate lines and data lines than a conventional chip of about the same size, the driver chip may be easily adapted for display devices having multiple panels. Where multiple panels are used, the panels may be scanned simultaneously or sequentially.

Abstract: An array substrate includes a base substrate, a dummy circuit section, a dummy pixel portion, an extended line, a common voltage line, and an overlap portion. Pixel portions are formed in a display area. The dummy circuit section is formed in a peripheral area to protect the pixel portions from static electricity. The dummy pixel portion is adjacent to the dummy circuit section. The dummy circuit section is in an electrically floating state. The extended line is extended from the dummy circuit section and electrically open with respect to the dummy pixel portion. The common voltage line is overlapped with the extended line of the dummy circuit section, the extended line being electrically open with respect to the display area, and thus the display area may be protected from the static electricity which flows into the dummy circuit section.

Abstract: A display panel includes a plurality of source wirings, gate wirings, pixel areas and pixel electrodes. The source wirings are extended in a first direction, and the gate wirings are extended in a second direction crossing the first direction. The pixel areas are defined by the source wirings and the gate wirings. Each of the pixel electrodes is formed in each of the pixel areas and includes a first reflection electrode and a second reflection electrode formed at both ends of the pixel areas and defining a first reflection area and a second reflection area, and a transparent electrode formed between the first and second reflection electrodes and defining a transmission area. The pixel area is arranged in the first reflection area, the transmission area and the second reflection area. The aperture ratio is not decreased because light does not leak at the boundary between the transmission and reflection area.

Abstract: A TFT array panel for a display has a gate insulating layer with substantially the same dielectric constant as the passivation layer and may be thicker than the passivation layer, while the storage capacitor includes a pixel electrode and a storage electrode overlapping each other along with the passivation layer sandwiched therebetween such that the storage capacitor has a higher capacitance than known storage capacitors even though the storage conductors have the same area as before.

Abstract: An array substrate and a display apparatus including the array substrate are provided. The array substrate includes a substrate divided into a display area and a peripheral area adjacent to the display area. A pixel array is formed on the substrate corresponding to the display area and receives a driving signal. A driving circuit includes a plurality of stages and is formed on the substrate corresponding to the peripheral area. Each of the stages includes a first transistor having a source electrode connected to an output terminal to output the driving signal, a channel layer formed between a gate insulating layer and the source electrode, the channel layer having an opening to facilitate contact between a portion of the gate insulating layer and the source electrode, and a capacitor defined by a gate electrode of the first transistor, the source electrode, and the gate insulating layer contacting the source electrode.

Abstract: An image display device includes a driving unit to provide first and second image signals and first and second control signals to display images, a first display unit to display first images in response to the first image signal and the first control signal from the driving unit, a second display unit to display secondary images in response to the second image signal and the second control signal from the driving unit, first data-transfer lines to transfer the second image signal from the driving unit to the second display unit, second data-transfer lines to transfer the second control signal from the driving unit to the second display unit, and a flexible printed circuit board connected between the first and second display units to provide electrical connection between the driving unit and the second display unit.
