  • Publication number: 20040179002
    Abstract: An apparatus of driving a liquid crystal display includes a signal controller. The signal controller has a frame memory and an image type detector. The signal controller compares image data for a present frame from an external device with image data for a previous frame stored in the frame memory and determines whether the image data represent still image. If the image data represent a sill image, the signal controller suspends a predetermined control operation and also suspends supply voltages to elements required for the predetermined control operation.

  • Publication number: 20040160402
    Abstract: The invention is an apparatus for driving a liquid crystal display. In the invention, the digital data signals for different pixels are converted to analog signals based on color-specific gray voltages. By providing color-specific gray voltages, the invention corrects any bias stemming from different electro-optical characteristics of different-colored pixels. In one embodiment, the invention includes a signal controller for generating digital data signals for different pixel colors and a gray voltage generator for generating gray voltage signals that are specific to the different pixel colors. A data driver, which is coupled to the gray voltage generator and the signal controller, converts each one of the digital signals to a corresponding analog signal by using one of the gray voltage signals that is associated with the same pixel color as the digital signal that is being converted.
