  • Publication number: 20090091674
    Abstract: A display substrate includes a pixel, first, second and third gate lines, and a source line. The pixel includes first, second and third unit pixels, each generating a different color. The first, second and third gate lines are electrically connected to respective ones of the first, second and third unit pixels. The source line is electrically connected to each of the first, second and third unit pixels. Each of the first, second and third unit pixels includes a common electrode and a respective pixel electrode. The common electrode is formed on a substrate. The pixel electrodes are disposed over the common electrode such that the pixel electrode face the common electrode. Each of the pixel electrodes has a plurality of openings therethrough. This arrangement results in a wider display viewing angle and a reduction in the required number of source driver chips.

  • Publication number: 20080211732
    Abstract: A driver chip for controlling a high-resolution display panel is presented. The driver chip is not much larger than a conventional driver chip that is currently used for lower resolution display panels. The driver chip applies data signals to the data lines of the display panel and gate control signals to a gate driver that is formed in the peripheral region of the display panel. The gate driver, which may be made of amorphous silicon TFTs, generates gate signals in response to the gate control signals from the driver chip and applies the gate signals to gate lines. Since the driver chip of the invention controls more gate lines and data lines than a conventional chip of about the same size, the driver chip may be easily adapted for display devices having multiple panels. Where multiple panels are used, the panels may be scanned simultaneously or sequentially.

  • Publication number: 20070242900
    Abstract: Methods, machines, and machine-readable media for processing multiple exposure source images, including a reference image and one or more non-reference images, are described. In one aspect, respective sets of motion vectors that establish correspondences between respective pairs of the source images are calculated. Ones of the source images are warped to a reference coordinate system based on the sets of motion vectors. For each of the non-reference ones of the warped images, a respective set of one or more measures of alignment confidence between the non-reference warped image and the reference image in the reference coordinate system is computed. Saturated pixels and unsaturated pixels are identified in the warped images. An output image with pixel value contributions from unsaturated pixels in the warped images is generated based on the computed alignment confidence measures.

  • Publication number: 20070194317
    Abstract: An array substrate includes a base substrate, a dummy circuit section, a dummy pixel portion, an extended line, a common voltage line, and an overlap portion. Pixel portions are formed in a display area. The dummy circuit section is formed in a peripheral area to protect the pixel portions from static electricity. The dummy pixel portion is adjacent to the dummy circuit section. The dummy circuit section is in an electrically floating state. The extended line is extended from the dummy circuit section and electrically open with respect to the dummy pixel portion. The common voltage line is overlapped with the extended line of the dummy circuit section, the extended line being electrically open with respect to the display area, and thus the display area may be protected from the static electricity which flows into the dummy circuit section.

  • Publication number: 20070195241
    Abstract: A display panel includes a plurality of source wirings, gate wirings, pixel areas and pixel electrodes. The source wirings are extended in a first direction, and the gate wirings are extended in a second direction crossing the first direction. The pixel areas are defined by the source wirings and the gate wirings. Each of the pixel electrodes is formed in each of the pixel areas and includes a first reflection electrode and a second reflection electrode formed at both ends of the pixel areas and defining a first reflection area and a second reflection area, and a transparent electrode formed between the first and second reflection electrodes and defining a transmission area. The pixel area is arranged in the first reflection area, the transmission area and the second reflection area. The aperture ratio is not decreased because light does not leak at the boundary between the transmission and reflection area.

  • Publication number: 20070098260
    Abstract: Peteye is the appearance of an unnatural coloration (not necessarily red) of the pupils in an animal appearing in an image captured by a camera with flash illumination. Systems and methods of detecting and correcting peteye are described. In one aspect a classification map segmenting pixels in the input image into peteye pixels and non-peteye pixels is generated based on a respective segmentation condition on values of the pixels. Candidate peteye pixel areas are identified in the classification map. The generating and the identifying processes are repeated with the respective condition replaced by a different respective segmentation condition on the pixel values.

  • Publication number: 20070009176
    Abstract: Representations of an input signal at different lower resolutions are obtained, where n denotes a level of resolution, and where 0?n?N. Level n=N corresponds to the representation having the lowest resolution, and level n=0 corresponds to the input signal. The resolution increases as level n decreases. The nth level representation is used to estimate and remove low frequency error in the n?1th level representation. Then application-specific processing is performed on the n?1th level representation.
