  • Publication number: 20060238525
    Abstract: In a liquid crystal display (LCD) apparatus employing an impulsive driving method, a timing control part outputs a first control signal and a second control signal in response to a timing control signal. A data driving part provides a display panel with a first data signal in response to the first control signal during a first period and a second data signal in response to the first control signal during a second period. A gate driving part provides the display panel with a gate signal in response to the second control signal, the gate signal having a first gate pulse corresponding to the second period and a second gate pulse corresponding to the first period. The period in which the first gate pulse is applied is extended to a portion of the first period. Thus, a charging rate of the second data signal may be increased, so that the display quality of the LCD apparatus may be improved.

  • Publication number: 20050140641
    Abstract: A method of controlling the backlight assembly of a display apparatus according to the ambient light level is presented. When there is sufficient ambient light to achieve a desired level of brightness in a display apparatus, the backlight assembly is turned off to conserve power. On the other hand, when the amount of ambient light is insufficient for achieving the desired brightness level, the backlight assembly is turned on to supplement the ambient light so that the display apparatus will provide the desired brightness level regardless of the amount of ambient light. In some embodiments, the intensity of the light emitted by the backlight assembly is adjusted according to the ambient light level. Optionally, the display apparatus is switched between transmissive mode and reflective mode depending on the ambient light level. The voltage applied to the display panel is adjusted depending on the operational mode.
