  • Patent number: 9612646
    Abstract: A touch sensing display device supporting a pixel driving period and a touch driving period in each frame period. The device comprises a display panel having data lines and touch sensing lines, the data lines coupled to pixels of the display panel. A data driving circuit drives data signals onto the data lines during the pixel driving period of the frame period. A touch readout circuit generates touch data of signals of the touch sensing lines during the touch driving period of the frame period, the touch driving period distinct of the pixel driving period. A supply voltage of the data driving circuit can be cut off during the touch driving period, and a supply voltage of the touch readout circuit can be cut off during the pixel driving period.

  • Patent number: 8854293
    Abstract: The exemplary embodiment suggests an apparatus and a method for driving a light source of a backlight unit. The apparatus for driving the light source of the backlight unit comprises a plurality of LED columns; a power output terminal and feedback terminals connected to the LED columns; and an LED driver sequentially driving the LEDs according to sequentially delayed PWM signals. The LED driver decides an operable number of LED channel based on the signals input through the feedback terminals, and sequentially delays the PWM signals with the phase difference controlled by the number of LED channel.
