  • Patent number: 9262982
    Abstract: A timing controller for a liquid crystal panel and a timing control method thereof are provided. The timing controller includes a timing control unit for analyzing an input signal to generate a system state transition voltage (STV) signal and a base STV signal, and the timing control unit outputs a base trigger signal and a switch trigger signal having asynchronous frame rates to a select unit at the same time. A compare unit determines whether frequencies of the two state signals are same, so that the select unit determines to forward the base trigger signal or the switch trigger signal to a level shift circuit. Finally, a signal-time control unit controls an output time of the base trigger signal, and controls an output time of the switch trigger signal, so that a liquid crystal unit connected to each gate line has an equal charge time.

  • Patent number: 7358944
    Abstract: A system for reducing the residual image effect of a liquid crystal display after turned off is described, which includes a timing controller, a source driver, a gate driver, and a plurality of thin film transistors on the panel of the liquid crystal display. The system first transmits an image signal to the panel of the liquid crystal display by means of the timing controller in a period of time from when a backlight of the liquid crystal display is turned off to when an image data transmission is turned off. The system then transmits a control signal to the gate driver through the timing controller to turn on all the thin film transistors during a period of time from when the image data transmission is turned off to when the power to the liquid crystal display is turned off. Therefore, residual electric charges in the thin film transistors are discharged rapidly via a plurality of source lines of the source driver, and the residual image effect is consequently diminished.
