  • Patent number: 7924254
    Abstract: A backlight processing system and a method thereof are provided. The gray level values of pixels in an input frame signal are adjusted and the brightness thereof is decreased correspondingly. During gray level value adjustment, the gray level values of the pixels in dark regions are reduced, and the gray level values of the pixels in bright regions are increased. During backlight adjustment, first, statistics information on distribution of the gray level value versus the number of pixels is obtained according to the gray level distribution of the original frame. The number of pixels at each gray level is accumulated. When the accumulation value reaches a certain value, a reference signal is obtained. The brightness of the backlight is then adjusted according to the reference signal.

  • Patent number: 7903066
    Abstract: Gray scale distribution of an input image signal is obtained through statistics to determine the contrast characteristic of the input image signal. Based on the gray scale distribution, by a look up table, corresponding gamma setting values are derived and stored in a register. The register outputs the stored gamma setting values to a gray scale voltage generation circuit to adjust the gray scale voltage. Therefore, the display contrast and display quality are improved.

  • Patent number: 7203264
    Abstract: A high-stability shift circuit using amorphous silicon thin film transistors, which utilizes two out-of-phase pulses to control the operating mechanism and the bias-relations among transistors in the shift circuit. This makes the transistors under the driving conditions of positive/negative-alternating biases so as to restrain the voltage shift of the transistors such that the threshold voltage will not excessively increase along with the increasing operating time. This can not only increase the lifetime of the amorphous silicon thin film transistors but also extend the operating time of the shift circuit.
