  • Publication number: 20080062100
    Abstract: In a voltage generating circuit and a display apparatus, a driving voltage generator receives an input voltage to output a first driving voltage and a second driving voltage that is inversely proportional to a temperature in response to a feedback voltage. A temperature compensator generates the feedback voltage as a function of the temperature and the second driving voltage and applies it to the driving voltage generator. A gate-on voltage generator pumps the second driving voltage to generate a gate-on voltage, and a gamma voltage generator outputs a plurality of gamma voltages, each having a different voltage level that is disposed between the first driving voltage and a ground voltage. The gate-on voltage, which is inversely proportional to the temperature, is applied to the gate driver, and the gamma voltages, which are maintained at constant levels, prevent the response speed of the display apparatus from varying with temperature.

  • Patent number: 6982691
    Abstract: There is provided a method of driving a cholesteric liquid crystal display (LCD) panel by sequentially applying a selection line voltage to individual scan electrode lines and simultaneously applying data signals to all data electrode lines in order to select a state of each cholesteric liquid crystal cell according to a given gray scale level. Each selection time, during which the selection line voltage is applied to a certain scan electrode line and simultaneously the data signals are applied to all of the data electrode lines, is constant. Each selection time is divided into a first part time and a second part time. A low selection line voltage is applied to a relevant scan electrode line during the first part time. A high selection line voltage having a level different from that of the low selection line voltage is applied to the relevant scan electrode line during the second part time.
