Abstract: A method and circuit for providing analog voltages to an LCD panel based on digital voltages. A gamma curve defining a relationship between the applied voltage and a luminescence of the liquid crystals is implemented in a timing controller through a look-up table, an algorithm, and the like. The digital grey level voltages provided by the timing controller are converted to analog voltages by a linear digital-analog-converter (DAC) in each column driver. Implementation of the gamma curve in the timing controller and use of linear DAC allows accommodation of higher bit rate without significant die area increase. Furthermore, look-up table style implementation of the gamma curve allows for easy modification of the curve for temperature, color temperature, different color schemes, and the like.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for compensating the effects of display signal propagation delay in a display panel are disclosed. The apparatus comprises circuitry in addition to conventional display driver circuitry for delaying display line timing signals by an amount approximating the delay found in corresponding display lines. By delaying display line timing signals, for example in a column driver, by an time approximately equal the delay experienced in a corresponding row enable signal line, capacitors associated with the display pixels charge more fully resulting in a more vivid display image. Methods for compensating the effects of display signal propagation delay involve generating a plurality of delayed display timing signals and activating display lines in response to those delayed timing signals.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a multi-domain liquid crystal display wherein adjacent areas of the display are oriented in different direction by coating the substrate with a polymer and exposing a first set of areas to ultraviolet/light from a source polarized in a first direction and then exposing a second set of areas to ultraviolet light from a source polarized in a second direction.

Abstract: A half-tone liquid crystal display panel having half-tone pixels, each comprising a plurality of sub-pixels including first and second sub-pixels. Activation voltage is supplied to the first sub-pixel from a TFT switch and to the second sub-pixel from the TFT switch through a coupling capacitor. The second sub-pixel includes a storage capacitor. Sensitivity of the activation voltage applied to the second sub-pixel resulting from capacitance non-uniformity across the panel is reduced by forming the coupling capacitor and the storage capacitor of the second sub-pixel with the same depositions utilizing a common dielectric layer. The capacitance of the storage capacitor of the second sub-pixel is designed large compared to the capacitance of the second sub-pixel.

Abstract: In a liquid crystal display, the optical transmission of the liquid crystal medium as a function of applied electric field varies with temperature. In order to ensure that the temperature of the liquid crystal medium can provide a practical response time, a heating element, along with a sensor element and a thermostat, establishes the temperature of the liquid crystal display in an appropriate range. The output signal of the sensor element is digitized and is used as a first portion of a memory unit address. A second portion of the memory unit address is provided by digitized command signals either from an operator or from the processing apparatus controlling the image of liquid crystal display. The logic signals stored at the location determined by the first and second address portions identify an electric field (applied voltage) that provides compensation for temperature and compensation for non-linear characteristics of the liquid crystal medium.

Abstract: Convergence correction for a delta-gun CRT at all locations on the CRT screen is accomplished by separately implementing the general equation for convergence in that coordinate system peculiar to each of the gun's location relative to the screen and modifying the equation coefficients in each of its four quadrants to effect convergence in that quadrant. The quadrants of each of the gun's coordinate system is the same as the quadrants of the CRT screen thereby allowing each of the coefficients to be changed or adjusted only when the terms it multiplies is zero. Complete convergence correction for the entire screen may be accomplished using only nine screen locations. A unique triangular convergence symbol corresponding to the gun locations is placed at each of these nine locations to adjust the equation coefficients, each leg of the convergence symbol being of a color which optimizes the viewability of the convergence of a particular gun.
