  • Publication number: 20090015513
    Abstract: An expandable multi-module display device cuts block data corresponding to an identification code of the expandable multi-module display device itself, and transmits the data-cut result to a specific flat panel display corresponding to the expandable multi-module display device itself, such that it displays a total image. The expandable multi-module display device includes a multi-panel including a plurality of flat panel displays, several multi-driving boards installed in the flat panel displays, respectively, and a data bus line connected to each of the multi-driving boards. The expandable multi-module display device cuts data corresponding to an identification code of the multi-module display device itself, and provides a specific flat panel display with the cut data corresponding to the multi-driving board itself, and bypasses the remaining data other than the cut data to the multi-driving boards of the remaining flat panel displays other than the specific flat panel display.

  • Patent number: 7403216
    Abstract: A film exposure apparatus employs a liquid crystal display. The film exposure apparatus may reduce the film and plate fabrication cost and time required in a publication printing process and may also enhance printing quality. The apparatus may include an exposure device that illuminates the LCD. The LCD may display an image in one or more gray scales that may correspond to color concentrations in a document to be reproduced. The LCD may control the amount of light that passes through the LCD and that exposes red (R), green (G), and blue (B) films.
