Patent number: 7982729Abstract: A driving signal generating device for staggering transition time of driving signals to prevent image crosstalk for a display device includes a receiving terminal, a first adjusting unit, a multiplexer, a second adjusting unit and a frame output controller. The receiving terminal receives a plurality of step grayscale waveforms. The first adjusting unit transforms the plurality of step grayscale waveforms into a plurality of initial grayscale waveforms and further adjusts widths of the plurality of initial grayscale waveforms according to a first predetermined value to generate a plurality of grayscale waveforms. The multiplexer selects a first grayscale waveform from the plurality of grayscale waveforms. The second adjusting unit then adjusts a width of the first grayscale waveform according to a second predetermined value to generate a second grayscale waveform. The frame output controller controls output of the first grayscale waveform and the second grayscale waveform.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2007Date of Patent: July 19, 2011Assignee: NOVATEK Microelectronics Corp.Inventors: Jiun-Ting Chen, Wen-Ping Chou, Feng-Jung Kuo, Kuei-Chung Chang

Patent number: 7474082Abstract: This present invention relates to a voltage converting apparatus with auto-adjusting boost-multiple, which includes a microprocessor unit, a boost multiple control unit, a boost unit, and a voltage converting unit. According to the digital signal, the microprocessor unit generates an output voltage information and a converting multiple information. According to the output voltage information, the boost multiple control unit computes the corresponding relation between an output voltage and an input voltage in order to generate the boost multiple information. Based on the boost multiple information, the boost unit can amplify the output voltage to generate an converting operation voltage. The voltage converting unit operates between the converting operation voltage and a fist voltage, and converts a reference voltage into the output voltage according to the converting multiple information.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2006Date of Patent: January 6, 2009Assignee: Novatek Microelectronics Corp.Inventors: Yi-Pin Huang, Feng-Jung Kuo, Jen-Hao Hsueh, Wen-Ping Chou
