  • Publication number: 20220037430
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a display device and a mobile terminal device including the same, which include a display panel including a screen in which a plurality of display pixels which are sequentially scanned, and a plurality of sensor pixels which are exposed to a light during an exposure time to convert the light into an electric current are disposed. While the display pixels disposed in the first area of the screen are scanned, the sensor pixels are exposed. While the display pixels in the second area of the screen are scanned, sensor data is output from the sensor pixels and then the sensor pixels are initialized.

  • Patent number: 9620240
    Abstract: Disclosed is a shift register including stages for sequentially outputting output pulses including carry and scan pulses. Odd-numbered stages supply corresponding scan pulses to odd-numbered gate lines in a sequential manner, and even-numbered stages supply corresponding scan pulses to even-numbered gate lines in a sequential manner. Each stage includes a carry output unit for generating a carry pulse, based on a first discharge voltage and a clock pulse having a low-level voltage equal to the first discharge voltage, and supplying the carry pulse to at least one of upstream and downstream stages, and a scan output unit for generating a scan pulse, based on a second discharge voltage having a higher voltage than the first discharge voltage and the clock pulse, and supplying the scan pulse to a corresponding gate line.

  • Patent number: 8976106
    Abstract: An LCD panel being driven in an overlapping drive mode by applying a gate high voltage during n horizontal synchronous intervals is disclosed. The LCD panel includes: a plurality of gate lines; and a gate driver configured to include a plurality of stages connected to the plurality of gate lines. The plurality of stages are grouped in a plurality of stage groups each including n stages. Odd-numbered stage groups each allows the n stages to be arranged in a Z shape with having a display area therebetween. Even-number stage groups each allows the n states to be arranged in an inverse-Z shape with having the display area therebetween.
