  • Patent number: 11776439
    Abstract: A display driver including a crack resistance measurement circuit according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a crack resistance measurement circuit connected to a crack resistance circuit of a display panel to measure a crack resistance of the crack resistance circuit, wherein the crack resistance measurement circuit includes a reference resistance generation circuit configured to generate a reference resistance using at least two resistors connected in series and at least two switches connected to correspond to the at least two resistors, a comparator configured to compare a magnitude of the crack resistance with a magnitude of the reference resistance and output a resistance comparison result, and a circuit controller configured to output a reference resistance control signal for controlling the at least two switches according to the resistance comparison result.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9063495
    Abstract: A fusing unit and an image forming apparatus to form an image on a recording medium including a fusing unit are provided. The image forming apparatus includes a heating member having a surface divided into a plurality of heating regions and heating the recording medium, and a pressurizing member to apply pressure to the recording medium, the fusing unit fusing the image to the recording medium by applying heat and pressure to the recording medium, a driving unit to supply rotational force to the pressurizing member, and a power supply to supply power to the heating member and the driving unit, wherein the heating regions have different heating values per unit area. The image forming apparatus prevents overheating of a paper-contact heating region without idling the fusing unit in order to radiate heat accumulated in the paper-contact heating region.
