  • Publication number: 20070229717
    Abstract: A circuit for eliminating abnormal sound includes a video/audio processor, a D/A converter, a front-stage mute circuit, a changing delay device, a front-stage amplifier, a back-stage amplifier, a back-stage mute circuit, and a micro control unit. The circuit is mounted in a display device connected to a DVD player. When DVD player plays the video/audio signal having HDMI standard, the display device will generate an abnormal sound (pop voice or declining voice) during performing an operation such as pause, stop or play. Therefore, this circuit uses the changing delay device, the micro control unit, and the mute circuit to filter out the noise for providing a better outputting quality.

  • Publication number: 20070153136
    Abstract: An LCD TV capable of being used as a music station only, which can turn off the internal video decoder and the internal backlight power when the LCD TV only desires to output an audio. The LCD TV panel has a backlight control terminal with a first state and a second state to turn on/off the internal backlight power based on the first or second state. A video decoder has a working mode and a standby mode. When an instruction received by a command input device is a panel backlight power turning-off instruction, a controller produces a control signal to set the backlight control terminal to the second state to thereby drive the LCD TV panel to turn off the backlight power thereon and set the video decoder to the standby mode.

  • Publication number: 20060139345
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method applied on displays for recognizing video signal timing of analog input. The present invention employs the horizontal-synchronized-signal interrupt value to distinguish among its inputted video signal timing, allowing to recognize its pixel and correctly display its corresponding video signal timing even when the inputted signal timings share the same horizontal frequency, vertical frequency, and polarity. In case when the display is displaying incorrect video signal timing, the present invention also allows inputting a switch signal to adjust its display mode accordingly, enabling the display to show the correct resolution of the video signal timing under normal operation.

  • Publication number: 20060139344
    Abstract: A display monitor for a common display data channel uses a DDC access switch to separate the common display data channel, so that regardless of whether the display monitor is powered on or off, a personal computer can access the Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) in the EEPROM, and the low-level voltage of an MCU in the display monitor won't interfere in the access between the personal computer and the EEPROM. When the power of the display monitor is turned on, the DDC access switch closes so that the MCU can access the EDID in the EEPROM.
