  • Patent number: 9105244
    Abstract: A panel control apparatus and an operating method thereof are provided, and which includes a scalar and a timing controller. The scalar transmits a present display data for composing a display frame, and determines whether to generate a refresh request signal according to a state of the display frame. The timing controller includes a memory, an over driving unit and a panel self refresh unit. When the refresh request signal is not generated, the over driving unit converts the present display data into an over driving display data according to a previous compression data from the memory. When the refresh request signal is generated, the panel self refresh unit compresses the present display data into a refresh display data, and stores the refresh display data into the memory.

  • Patent number: 8605031
    Abstract: A driving apparatus of a backlight module and a driving method thereof are provided. The driving method includes following steps. An image signal is received. A first grayscale mean of a current frame and a second grayscale mean of a previous frame are calculated according to the image signal. A first difference between the first grayscale mean and the second grayscale mean is calculated. A first duty corresponding to the current frame and a second duty corresponding to the previous frame are calculated according to the image signal. When the first difference is smaller than or equal to a backlight flicker threshold, a backlight control signal is generated according to the second duty and a first regulation value. When the first difference is greater than the backlight flicker threshold, the backlight control signal is generated according to the second duty and a second regulation value.

  • Publication number: 20130300723
    Abstract: A panel control device includes a scalar and a timing controller. The scalar transmits an image data for forming a display image. The scalar keeps the timing controller in a normal display mode or switches the timing controller to a self-refresh mode according to a state of the display image. The timing controller includes a memory and a self-refresh unit, wherein when the timing controller switches to the self-refresh mode, the self-refresh unit performs a compression procedure to progressively compress the image data and generate a plurality of first interval data accordingly. When the compression procedure ends, the self-refresh unit stores one of the plurality of first interval data to the memory as a compression data, and the timing controller continuously outputs the compression data from the memory.

  • Patent number: 7800685
    Abstract: An auto focus method adapted to adjust relative positions between an optical system and a sensing unit so as to make an image surface lying in the depth of field is disclosed. The optical system includes at least a focusing lens. The method returns the focusing lens and the sensing unit to zero, change relative distances between the focusing lens and the sensing unit to evaluate evaluation values of lying the image surface in the depth of field, and adjusts towards the evaluation values until the image surface by the sensing unit lies in the depth of field to complete auto focus. When performing the task of auto focus, the driving unit only reverses once in shuttling runs. The auto focus method not only increases focusing speed, but also enhances precision and degree of wear resisting, which prolong lifetime of the apparatus.
