Publication number: 20150085189Abstract: A digital television (TV) including a display terminal, a TV chip and an image driving circuit is provided. The display terminal includes multiple adjacent rows of pixels. The TV chip includes a digital TV decoder, a data stream decoder, a scaler and a color space converting circuit. The digital TV decoder outputs a data stream according to an interlaced TV signal. The data stream decoder decodes the data stream to output an interlaced image. The scaler outputs a scaled image according to the interlaced image. The color space converting circuit outputs color pixel data according to the scaled image. The image driving circuit simultaneously turns on the rows of pixels, and writes the color pixel data into the rows of pixels to display a de-interlaced image.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2014Publication date: March 26, 2015Applicant: NOVATEK MICROELECTRONICS CORP.Inventor: Ming-Lin LEE

Patent number: 7379004Abstract: An LCD driving circuit and method for increasing effective bit(s) of the source driver is disclosed. A reference voltage generator generates a group of compensated reference voltage levels that are interlaced with original reference voltage level of original reference voltage generator. One of the multiple groups of reference voltage levels is selected by one or more least significant bits (LSBs), and is then inputted to digital-to-Analog converter of the source driver under control of the one or more least significant bits (LSBs), thereby effectively and economically enhancing the gray levels of the display on the LCD panel.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2006Date of Patent: May 27, 2008Assignee: Hannstar Display Corp.Inventors: Chin-Hung Hsu, Ming-Lin Lee, Chun-Chieh Chen, Nan-Ku Lu
