  • Patent number: 7948467
    Abstract: A gate driver structure of TFT-LCD display, comprising: a plurality of first level shifters, each input terminal of which being connected with an input signal; a plurality of output buffers with a plurality of output terminals, each input terminal of the output buffers being connected with each output terminal of the first level shifters; a second level shifter, the input terminal of which being connected with a low voltage signal and the first output terminal of which being connected with a plurality of first level shifters. In addition, the connecting wires between each output terminal of the plurality of first level shifters and each input terminal of the plurality of output buffers are in parallel with a pair of first MOS and second MOS daisy-chained together. The gate of each first MOS is connected with the output terminal of output buffer of the previous cell, and the gate of each second MOS is connected with the second output terminal of the second level shifter.

  • Patent number: 6731258
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fast-working residual display suppression circuit for LCD and a method thereto. The method includes the following steps: receiving a control signal; if the control signal is an automatic control signal, comparing a first reference voltage with a fixed difference to a supply voltage to a second reference voltage according to an externally input start signal; as the first reference voltage≦the second reference voltage, outputting an activating signal to an LCD power controller and a fast discharge circuit; if the control signal is a manual control signal, directly outputting the activating signal in order to drive the LCD power controller and the fast discharge circuit and cutting off the power supply to the fast discharge circuit by the LCD power controller according to the activating signal and combining two discharge paths of the fast discharge circuit to produce an optimal discharge path to speed up the discharge rate.
