  • Patent number: 9507452
    Abstract: A display device includes a display panel, a source driving part, a gate driving part, a readout part and a pulse generating part. The display panel includes an array substrate on which a source line and a gate line are formed, and an opposite substrate on which a common electrode is formed. The readout part is electrically connected with at least one of the lines of the array substrate and the common electrode of the opposite substrate, and reads out a detection signal during an elimination period of a frame period. The pulse generating part outputs a control pulse for driving the readout part during the elimination period. Accordingly, a detection signal is read out through lines or a common electrode that are/is formed for displaying an image, so that an aperture ratio may be increased, and a manufacturing process thereof may be simplified.

  • Patent number: 8994630
    Abstract: An apparatus for driving a display panel includes a first memory which stores a frame image data, a second memory which stores overshooting information. The apparatus receives an image signal from an external system via a CPU interface process. The second memory stores a difference data between the frame image data and an overshooting data. The overshoot is then calculated from the difference data and the frame image data. The apparatus also includes a two-line memory which stores an image signal of an n-th frame in a line unit and an image signal of an n?1-th frame in another line. The two-line memory compares the consecutive two frame data, so that the apparatus extracts overshooting information from a look up table.
