  • Publication number: 20070146305
    Abstract: An exemplary testing system for liquid crystal displays includes a host (1) and a liquid crystal display (2). The host includes a display card (10) having a memory (105). Plural reference data according to a plurality of timing control modes are stored in the memory. The display card controls the liquid crystal display to display testing images by transmitting horizontal synchronization signals, vertical synchronization signals, red signals, green signals, and blue signals to the liquid crystal display using one of the timing control modes.

  • Publication number: 20070091116
    Abstract: An exemplary system for creating an international color consortium (ICC) profile of a liquid crystal display (LCD) (20) is disclosed. The system includes: a setting module (101) is configured for setting parameters of color pictures; a transmitting module (102) is configured for transmitting the set parameters of color pictures to the LCD for displaying of corresponding color pictures; a receiving module (103) is configured for receiving chromaticity coordinates that are generated according to color information of the color pictures displayed by the LCD; a processing module (104) is configured for converting the chromaticity coordinates into numerical coordinates of a profile connection space (PCS); and a generating module (105) is configured for generating an ICC profile according to the numerical coordinates of the PCS. A related method is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20070002347
    Abstract: A system and method for automatically upgrading the firmware of a display without user interaction, wherein a new version of firmware is downloaded and stored at a host computer. The host computer monitors all communications between the host computer and an external source to determine when new or updated firmware has been uploaded. If the host computer includes a graphic card, the display is checked to determine whether it is active. If the display is active, communication over a communication cable located between the host computer and display is established, and the new version of firmware is uploaded to memory located in the display. The host computer forwards the firmware over the communication cable as at least one signal component, such as data and clock signals, which is transmitted from a graphic card located in the host computer to a graphic processor located in the display.
