  • Patent number: 7098886
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a flat panel display device and a method for driving thereof. According to the present invention, in the flat panel display for processing and displaying a display signal outputted from the graphic source via a serial bus, the graphic source fetches and interprets the display characteristics information of the flat panel display from the flat panel display module via the serial bus so that a new corresponding standard of display signal can be outputted. Here, the display characteristics information is adjustable by the input of predetermined data by use of a predetermined key installed outside the flat panel display by a user and includes more than one of standard information of the display signal with its blanking interval defined and screen display information.

  • Publication number: 20060007093
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display with two or more line inversion. The timing controller of the liquid crystal display controls polarity of the image data to be reversed every two or more rows, combines the image data for the pixels with the polarity inversion and compensation data for excessive charging of the pixels by a predetermined level, and outputs the combined data. For this purpose, the timing controller includes a vector table for storing the number of frames and lines to be compensated for a frequency of a clock signal, a frame frequency, and a line frequency. In order to apply voltages for excessive charging of the pixel with polarity inversion, the compensation data stored in the vector table is combined with the image data from the external graphics source, and the liquid crystal panel is driven using the combined data.

  • Publication number: 20050174344
    Abstract: In an active matrix display device, gate signals are delayed or distorted as they go to the right due to load of the gate lines and parasitic capacitances of the gate lines and pixels. TP signals for respective blocks of data lines are supplied with time difference such that data signals are applied to the respective blocks of the data lines not in synchronous manner but in a staggered manner. The time difference in the application of the data signals between the data lines is substantially equal to the delay of the gate signals, thereby solving the non-uniform charging of the data signals in the pixels.
