  • Publication number: 20050104837
    Abstract: A driving method and apparatus for a liquid crystal display uses a comparison between the previous frame and the current frame to expand the contrast ratio and reduce the manufacturing cost. A limited amount of data from the current image may be used: either using a limited area of the image or merely the amount of green in the overall image or the limited area. In the apparatus, an image signal modulator expands the contrast of the input data when the previous image is analogous to the current image to thereby generate output data. A timing controller re-arranges the output data to apply the output data to a data driver.

  • Publication number: 20050104842
    Abstract: A method of driving a liquid crystal display is provided in which the contrast can be selectively emphasized dependent upon the input data. The input data is converted into brightness components and chrominance components. The most-frequent brightness component is extracted from a histogram of the brightness components, and the histogram is divided into regions, which are re-arranged in correspondence with the extracted most-frequent value. The brightness components of each region are then modified using a curve having a slope that is dependent upon the total number of brightness components in the particular region. Data in which the contrast ratio has been selectively emphasized is generated using the modulated brightness components and the chrominance components.

  • Publication number: 20050104840
    Abstract: A driving method and apparatus for a liquid crystal display stabilizing variations in the brightness of a back light dependent upon brightness components extracted from data to be displayed are disclosed. In the method, the brightness components of each frame are arranged into a histogram, which is divided into a plurality of brightness areas. The most-frequent value of the brightness components or the average value of the brightness components is extracted. The brightness of a back light is controlled to correspond to the brightness areas to which the extracted most-frequent value or the average value belongs. One or more particular areas within the brightness areas are selected such that if the extracted most-frequent value or the average value belongs to the particular areas, the brightness of the back light may not be changed in successive frames.

  • Publication number: 20050104827
    Abstract: A driving method and apparatus for a liquid crystal display capable of selectively emphasizing a contrast is disclosed. In the apparatus, an image signal modulator partially expands or reduces the contrast of input data to generate output data. The brightness components for one frame are divided into a plurality of areas and an area having a large brightness difference is removed from each area to thereby produce new data. Gray levels of the new data are divided into a plurality of regions of different slopes. The range of output gray levels is enlarged in proportion to the slopes, thereby partially emphasizing the contrast ratio. A timing controller re-arranges the output data to apply it to a data driver.
