  • Patent number: 10447051
    Abstract: An electric fan-type power generating device with low energy consumption includes a housing receiving an electric motor connected to a first fan. A generator is mounted in the housing and is connected to a second fan. The first and second fans are offset from each other. A power device includes a chargeable battery for supplying electricity to the electric motor that drives the first fan to generate wind power close to the second fan. Air flows around in a housing and generates turbulence to proceed with input and output of air, increasing the heat dissipating effect of the electric motor and the generator. Furthermore, the second fan drives the generator to generate electricity supplied to the chargeable battery. The chargeable battery recycles the electricity and supplies the electricity to the electric motor that operates to generate wind power. Furthermore, the wind energy drives the generator to continue generation of electricity.

  • Publication number: 20120120083
    Abstract: A display apparatus, and a display controller and an operating method thereof are provided. The display controller includes a controller, a buffer, and a compression/decompression unit. The controller receives an original frame from a host. The controller controls a display module to display the original frame provided by the host in a non-still frame mode. The compression/decompression unit is coupled between the buffer and the controller. The controller compresses the original frame to the buffer through the compression/decompression unit. If the controller operates in a still frame mode, the controller decompresses a compressed frame in the buffer to obtain a decompressed frame through the compression/decompression unit, and controls the display module to display the decompressed frame.

  • Publication number: 20070290977
    Abstract: An apparatus for driving a liquid crystal display (LCD) includes a timing controller, a source driver and a gate driver. A panel of the LCD includes gate line groups, and each of the gate line groups includes gate lines. Scan pulse signals having a same scan pulse period and output enable signals are generated by the gate driver. The scan pulse signals are respectively enabled by the output enable signals and each of the scan pulse signal has one of a data writing period and a gray level writing period during the scan pulse period. During the data writing period, only one of the gate lines is turned on at a point in time by the scan pulse signals. During the gate level writing period, one of the gate line groups is turned on by the scan pulse signals. Thus, the edge blur of displaying moving images is eliminated.
