  • Publication number: 20110242140
    Abstract: In a method of driving a display panel, a gate signal is outputted to the display panel based on a first control signal. A gamma-corrected analog voltage is generated. A pre-charge compensating analog voltage is generated. A data voltage waveform is generated to include the generated gamma-corrected analog voltage and the generated pre-charge compensating analog voltage during one horizontal period of the display panel. The display panel has a pixel structure in which a data line is alternately connected to first and second subpixel columns adjacent to each other. The pre-charge compensating voltage has a level different from that of the gamma-corrected analog voltage where the latter represents a grayscale level represented by a received digital data signal. According to the method, display defects due to a difference of pre-charging levels used during plural horizontal periods may be decreased so that display quality of the display panel may be improved.

  • Patent number: 7364977
    Abstract: Disclosed are a heterojunction bipolar transistor and a method of fabricating the same. A first dielectric layer easily etched is deposited on the overall surface of a substrate before an isolation region is defined. The first dielectric layer and a sub-collector layer are selectively etched, and then a second dielectric layer etched at a low etch rate is deposited on the overall surface of the substrate. Via holes are formed in the first and second dielectric layers, and then the first dielectric layer is removed using a difference between etch characteristics of the first and second dielectric layers. Accordingly, a reduction in power gain, generated at the interface of a compound semiconductor and a dielectric insulating layer (the second dielectric layer), can be eliminated.

  • Publication number: 20080062210
    Abstract: In a driving device, a display apparatus having the driving device and a method of driving the driving device, a timing controller outputs a present image data during a first period within one frame and sequentially outputs a gray data having a lower gray-scale than a previous image data and a black data having a black gray-scale during a remaining second period. A data driving circuit changes the present image data into a present pixel voltage to output the present pixel voltage during the first period. Then, the data driving circuit sequentially receives the gray data and the black data and changes the gray data and the black data into a gray voltage and a black voltage to output the gray voltage and the black voltage. Thus, the display apparatus may prevent deterioration of brightness and eliminate blurring of moving images.
