Abstract: A liquid crystal display device, an apparatus and a method for controlling a luminance of a liquid crystal panel thereof are provided. The liquid crystal display device receives an image signal, generates an image compensating parameter according to the image signal and a plurality of luminance control parameters, and generates a compensated image signal, wherein each luminance control parameters relates to the liquid crystal panel. Then, the control signal is generated according to the image compensating parameter so that the liquid crystal panel displays an image of the compensated image signal. With this device and method, the power consumption of the liquid crystal panel display could be reduced, while the picture quality is preserved.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a high voltage resisting keyboard comprising at least one press key on a casing, a circuit board inside the casing, and a metal dome between the press keys and the circuit board inside the casing, wherein the edge of the metal hemisphere of the metal dome is directly connected to an end of an electrode of the circuit board, and the other end of the electrode is connected to an end of a resistor. Thus, when the edge of the metal hemisphere receives the high voltage current, the keyboard is protected by the resistor to avoid the high voltage current from being sent directly to another end of the resistor that is connected to another electronic component to achieve the purpose of protecting another electronic component.
