  • Patent number: 9117414
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display panel which receives a light, a backlight which provides the light to the display panel in response to a driving voltage, and a backlight driver which applies the driving voltage to the backlight. The backlight is turned on and off during a communication period to transmit data to an external receiver using visible light communication during the communication period. The backlight driver controls a voltage level of the driving voltage according to a number of turn-on periods of the driving voltage during the communication period.

  • Patent number: 8456596
    Abstract: A transparent display device includes a liquid crystal display (LCD) module and a transparent reflector. The LCD module includes an LCD panel having a liquid crystal layer, a light source providing light to the LCD panel, and a polarizing plate disposed between the light source and the LCD panel to polarize light from the light source. The transparent reflector and the LCD module are spaced apart. The transparent reflector displays the image by reflecting the image provided from the LCD panel. The transparency of the transparent reflector may be controlled, and the transparent reflector may have a curved shape.

  • Publication number: 20110216049
    Abstract: Provided is a visible light communication apparatus. The visible light communication apparatus includes: a display unit that displays an image according to an image signal; a light source unit that operates as a backlight for the display unit, generates an optical signal by driving a light source based on a data signal, and outputs the generated optical signal to the display unit; a sensor unit that detects a region corresponding to a shape of a terminal which touches or approaches the display unit; and an image signal conversion unit that converts the image signal such that an image displayed in the region detected by the sensor unit is converted to a bright image having a gray level higher than a predetermined reference gray level.

  • Publication number: 20110044695
    Abstract: A visible light communication system includes a light source emitting a first light having information, an optical filter receiving the first light and an externally provided second light and filtering the first and second light according to wavelength bands of the first and second light to output a filtered light, a photoelectric device receiving the filtered light to generate an output signal, and a data output part receiving the output signal to output data. Accordingly, the external light not having information may be substantially prevented from being provided to the photoelectric device, thereby preventing noise from occurring on the output signal. In addition, no additional operation is required to filter the output signal from the photoelectric device.

  • Publication number: 20100073641
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display is provided having improved image quality and visibility. The display device includes: a plurality of display panels which display multiple images from multiple display panels; a projection film which overlaps the display panels; and a lens panel including a first lens unit and a second lens unit is interposed between the display panel and the projection film. The first lens unit refracts images and the second lens unit improves image brightness. Therefore the resultant projection is a seamlessly connected image from the multiple display panels.
