  • Patent number: 12060841
    Abstract: Disclosed are a hybrid electric vehicle capable of controlling starting of an engine in order to more efficiently realize heating and an engine control method therefor. The method of controlling an engine of a hybrid electric vehicle of the disclosure includes determining whether the engine is in a warmed-up state when a fully automatic temperature control system makes a heating request, making an engine startup request for heating to an engine management system configured to control the engine when the engine is in the warmed-up state, and selectively requesting the engine management system to perform cylinder deactivation (CDA) control on at least some of a plurality of cylinders of the engine depending on whether the engine is in an idling state.

  • Patent number: 11094276
    Abstract: A gate driver includes a gate signal generating part, a switching part and a switching controlling part. The gate signal generating part is configured to generate a gate signal including a precharge time and a normal charge time using a compensated gate on voltage and a gate off voltage. The switching part is disposed between the gate signal generating part and a gate line. The switching part is configured to apply a compensated gate signal to the gate line. The switching controlling part is configured to generate a switching control signal for controlling an operation of the switching part.

  • Patent number: 9373296
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes pixels each including first and second sub-pixels having different transmittances from each other under a same gray scale, gate lines commonly connected to the first and second sub-pixels to apply a gate signal to the first and second sub-pixels, a first data line applying a first data signal to one of the first and second sub-pixels, and a second data line applying a second data signal to the other one of the first and second sub-pixels. The first sub-pixel has the transmittance lower than the transmittance of the second sub-pixel, and the second sub-pixel connected to an i-th gate line of the gate lines is disposed between the first sub-pixel connected to the i-th gate line and the first sub-pixel connected to an (i+1)th gate line of the gate lines.
