  • Patent number: 10210828
    Abstract: The present invention provides a temperature sensing circuit, which comprises a switching circuit, a charging circuit, and a judging circuit. The switching circuit receives a supply voltage for generating a switching signal. The charging circuit is coupled to the switching circuit and receives the supply voltage. The switching signal controls the charging circuit for generating a voltage signal according to the supply voltage. The judging circuit is coupled to the charging circuit for generating a judging signal according to the level of the voltage signal. The levels of the switching signal and the voltage signal are related to a temperature state; and the judging signal represents the temperature state. The temperature sensing circuit can be applied to the driving circuit of a display panel for detecting the temperature state. Hence, the level of the driving signal of the driving circuit can be adjusted for improving the image quality.

  • Patent number: 9880415
    Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid crystal display module, which comprises a bottom substrate, one or more reflective member, an array bump-structure layer, a liquid crystal layer, and a top substrate. The array bump-structure layer comprises one or more first bump region and one or mode second bump region. The second bump region is disposed on the reflective member correspondingly. By using the reflective member, the problem of complicated fabrication of the array bump layer having a plurality of sloping angles according to the prior art can be avoided.

  • Publication number: 20170033236
    Abstract: The present invention provides a thin-film transistor structure, which comprises a substrate, a first metal layer, a first buffer layer, a semiconductor layer, a second metal layer, a second buffer layer, and a third metal layer. The second metal layer includes a gap region; the semiconductor layer includes a channel region. The present invention uses the first and third metal layers to form double gates. By controlling the channel region using the double-gate structure, the turn-on current of the thin-film transistor can be enhanced and thus achieving the efficacy of improving the driving efficiency of the device.

  • Patent number: 9064474
    Abstract: An n-stage driving module with a common control node according to the present invention is revealed. The n-stage driving module comprises a plurality of output units, a forward input unit and a reverse input unit. The output units are all coupled to a control node to share the control node. The output units output forward scanning signals sequentially according to the charge of the control node when the control node is charged by the forward input unit. The output units output reverse scanning signals sequentially according to the charge of the control node when the control node is charged by the reverse input unit. Thus, the present invention is provided to output forward or reverse scanning signals from the output units by sharing the control node so as to decrease the circuit area in the n-stage driving module.

  • Patent number: 8963900
    Abstract: The invention provides a bidirectional scanning driving circuit, which comprises N stages of driving modules. Driving module comprises an output unit, a forward input unit, and a reverse input unit. For the n-th stage driving module, the forward input unit receives a first input voltage and a front forward scan signal of any of the driving modules lower than or equal to (n?2)th stage for charging or discharging a control node of the output unit. The reverse input unit receives a second input voltage and a back reverse scan signal of any of the driving modules higher than or equal to (n+2)th stage for charging or discharging the control node of the output unit. When the forward input unit is charging the output unit, the output unit outputs a forward scan signal; when the reverse input unit is charging the output unit, the output unit outputs a reverse scan signal.
