Abstract: A flat panel display device is disclosed. In some embodiments, the flat panel display device has parallel gate and data lines in a display area. In some embodiments, all sub-pixels of each pixel are connected to the same data line and are connected to the same gate line.

Abstract: A backlight assembly includes first and second backlight units independently operating based on driving modes, and a light blocking member interposed between the first and second backlight units. The first backlight assembly includes a first light source generating and supplying a first light to a main display part of a display panel in a main mode and turned-off in a sub mode. The second backlight assembly includes a second light source generating and supplying a second light having different color from the first light to a sub display part of the display panel in a main mode and a sub mode.

Abstract: A driving unit includes a timing controller, a data driver having a data processor and a switching circuit, and a gate driver. The timing controller outputs image data, a data control signal, a gate control signal and a switching signal. The data processor converts the image data into a data voltage based on the data control signal, and the switching circuit receives the data voltage and a common voltage having a predetermined period and outputs either the common voltage or the data voltage in response to the switching signal. The gate driver outputs a gate voltage in response to the gate control signal. The timing controller outputs the switching signal at a time point in a first half period of a transition period of the common voltage, and the switching circuit outputs the common voltage at the time point.

Abstract: A flexible printed circuit (FPC) film includes a film body portion connected to a display panel, and an electromagnetic (EM) wave blocking portion extended from the film body portion, wherein the EM wave blocking portion covers a portion of a driving chip disposed on the display panel.

Abstract: A backlight assembly having no step difference at a rear portion thereof includes a light generating unit and a receiving member. The light-generating unit includes a connecting member, a light source and a light guiding member. An external signal is transmitted to the light source through the connecting member, and a light is generated from the light source in response to the external signal. The light generated from the light source is guided to a display panel via the light guiding member. The receiving member includes a receiving space for receiving the light source and the light guiding member, and a receiving portion for receiving the connecting member. The receiving portion is formed on a rear surface of the receiving member. Accordingly, a thickness increase due to a step difference at the rear surface of the backlight assembly is sufficiently prevented.
