  • Patent number: 10276116
    Abstract: A digital-to-analog converter may include a converting unit and a distributing unit. The converting unit may generate a first analog signal set based on less-than-all bits of an image data set in a first period and may generate a second analog signal set based on all bits of the image data set in a second period. The all bits may include at least 2 bits. The distributing unit may include output terminals, may distribute the first analog signal set to the output terminals in a first sequence in the first period, and may distribute the second analog signal to the output terminals in a second sequence. The second sequence may be opposite to the first sequence.

  • Patent number: 9196183
    Abstract: A display device is provided. The display device includes: a timing controller and a data driver. The timing controller is configured to receive input data, a main clock signal, a synchronization signal, or a protocol signal, to generate an internal clock signal by using the main clock signal, to convert the input data into image data, and to transmit the synchronization signal or the protocol signal using the internal clock signal. The data driver is configured to recover the synchronization signal or the protocol signal from the internal clock signal, and to drive the image data by using the recovered synchronization signal or the protocol signal.

  • Patent number: 9000814
    Abstract: A coarse lock detector for a delayed locked loop (DLL) is disclosed. The coarse lock detector includes multiple detection cells. Each detection cell receives a delayed clock phase and an output of a previous detection cell as inputs. To increase time for the output of the previous detection cell to propagate, the detection cells are arranged in groups such that the output from the previous detection cell is generated by a detection cell which is more than one detection cell previous.
