Patent number: 8427410Abstract: A display device including a gate driver, a data driver and a plurality of sub-pixels is disclosed. The gate driver sequentially asserts a first scan signal and a second scan signal. The data driver provides a first data signal and a second data signal. When the first scan signal is asserted, the first scan signal and the first data signal respond with a first response signal. When the second scan signal is asserted, the second scan signal and the second data signal respond with a second response signal. The pulse of the first response signal is different from the pulse of the second response signal. A first sub-pixel among the sub-pixels displays a first color according to the first response signal. A second sub-pixel among the sub-pixels displays a second color according to the second response signal, and the first color is different from the second color.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2010Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Chiao-Nan Huang, Tai-Ann Chen, Heng-Yin Chen, An-Cheng Chen

Patent number: 8115718Abstract: This invention provides a color passive matrix bistable liquid crystal display system, in which one respective scan line corresponds to sub-pixels of same color and neighboring scan lines correspond to sub-pixels of different colors. The scan lines are grouped in accordance with the colors of the sub-pixels corresponding thereto such that different scan driving voltages can be provided to the sub-pixels of different colors when the scan lines are scanned. By way of the arrangement of the sub-pixels, different scan driving voltages are switched to the respective scan lines in accordance with the colors of the sub-pixels corresponding thereto. As a result, a demand that the sub-pixels of different colors require different scan driving voltages is satisfied. The image quality is improved.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2007Date of Patent: February 14, 2012Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Chih-Jen Chen, Chih-Chiang Lu, Tai-Ann Chen, Chung-Yi Chang

Patent number: 6646979Abstract: In a wireless communication system, unique methods are presented to dynamically assign channel codes of different lengths in a manner to maintain orthogonality among assigned channels. In one embodiment, channel codes that require relatively long-lengths are assigned from a first end of a list of unassigned channel codes and channel codes of a shorter length are assigned from an opposing end of a list of unassigned channel codes. Assignment of a shorter length code sequence is made if the longer-length channel codes that depend from the proposed shorter length code sequence are available. In another embodiment, the availability of short length channel codes is derived directly from the availability of the longest length channel codes. In this embodiment, a group of longest-length channel codes that contain a common shorter-length code of the desired length are checked for availability. If all the codes of the group are available then the common shorter-length code may be assigned to transmission.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 1999Date of Patent: November 11, 2003Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventors: Tai-Ann Chen, Wen-Yi Kuo
