  • Patent number: 7492343
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device for improving working efficiency and reducing manufacturing cost. In the device, a data integrated circuit has a data output group for supplying pixel data to data lines and a dummy data output channel group which is not supplied with pixel data. A channel selector selects an output channel of the data output channel group.

  • Publication number: 20080129904
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display for changing a supply sequence of a scanning pulse with which a plurality of gate lines are supplied to realize a one dot inversion, and a driving method thereof are disclosed. In the liquid crystal display, a liquid crystal display panel has a plurality of data lines and a plurality of gate lines, which are crossed each other, and pixels, which are defined by the lines. A gate driver supplies scanning pulses to the gate lines, and changes a supply sequence of the scanning pulses for each frame. A data driver converts digital video data into data voltages and periodically inverts a polarity of the data voltages to supply the data voltages in accordance with a supply sequence of the scanning pulses.

  • Patent number: 7298352
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display that is capable of improving a display quality of the LCD is disclosed, wherein gamma data for controlling the gamma voltage is stored for each of at least two modes. The gamma data for each mode is accessed in response to a selected mode, and n gamma voltages (wherein n is an integer), each having a different voltage level, indicated by the gamma data in the selected mode are generated. A lookup table is provided in which a color temperature correction data for correcting a color temperature characteristic of an input image is set in correspondence with a gray level value of the input image. The lookup table is accessed to read out color temperature correction data corresponding to the gray level value of the input image. The data lines are driven by the color temperature correction data.
