  • Patent number: 11004421
    Abstract: An operational amplifier circuit in a display apparatus which is fast-acting to prevent voltage overshoot comprises a pre-operational amplifier module, an output operational amplifier module, and an output module. Driving current from the pre-operational amplifier module is the basis of the output operational amplifier module generating a dynamic bias voltage to the output module. The output operational amplifier module detects the dynamic bias voltage and adjusts the bias voltage to be level with a specified voltage based on at least one control voltage. When the dynamic bias voltage is less than the specified voltage, the output operational amplifier module pulls up the bias voltage and when the bias voltage is larger than the specified voltage, the output operational amplifier module pulls down the bias voltage. The pull up and pull down speeds are proportional to the at least one control voltage.

  • Publication number: 20110084948
    Abstract: An LCD driver circuit having a common electrode, a gate driving circuit and a source driving circuit is provided. The LCD driver circuit is applied to a display panel which has a plurality of pixels, a plurality of scan lines and a data line. The scan lines are divided into a plurality of scan line groups. The scan line groups are disposed on the display panel in a first sequence. The common electrode outputs a common voltage. The gate driving circuit is coupled to the scan lines and provides a control voltage to each scan line in a second sequence different from the first sequence. The source driving circuit is coupled to the data line to provide a gray level voltage to the data line. An area of the gray level voltage being higher or lower than the common voltage corresponds to a high level area of the control voltages in the nonadjacent scan line groups, and polarities of the operated pixels in the adjacent scan line groups are opposite.

  • Patent number: 7414464
    Abstract: An operational amplifier driver capable of canceling an offset voltage of an operational amplifier includes the operational amplifier, first to third switches and a capacitor. The operational amplifier has a chopper, first and second input terminals and an output terminal. The first switch receives an input voltage and is connected to the first input terminal. The second switch is connected to the first input terminal and the output terminal. The third switch is connected the second input terminal and the output terminal. The capacitor is connected to the second input terminal. Because the operational amplifier driver directly charges/discharges the capacitor through the output terminal, and the polarities of the first input terminal and the second input terminal may be changed, the operational amplifier driver can shorten a charge/discharge time of the capacitor and cancel the offset voltage without increasing a level of an input signal.

  • Publication number: 20040178980
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display and its driving method utilize a polarity arrangement timing generator to generate signals for polarity-arrangement control. Those signals are output to a polarity arrangement programmable data driver, which accordingly produces a set of signals with aperiodically arranged polarities. Those aperiodic signals are exported to a display panel so that the pixels on the panel are supplied with voltage signals with an aperiodic polarity distribution. Further, picture frames displayed in pre-determined time period have pixel polarity distributions that are mutually complementary; that is, one half of the frames have pixels with polarities exactly opposite to those of the pixels in the other half.
