  • Publication number: 20150016069
    Abstract: A printed circuit board (PCB) is disclosed. The PCB includes a main body. A first surface of the main body is a connecting surface for electrical components. A second surface of the main body is a conductive cooper foil layer operating as ground wires. A plurality of grooves is arranged on the conductive cooper foil layer. The grooves pass through the conductive cooper foil layer to connect to the main body of the PCB. The thermal stress generated in the PCB welding process can be effectively released via the grooves. The inflation of the conductive cooper coil is relieved such that the PCB is prevented from being wrapped or cooper bubbling. In this way, the operation efficiency is enhanced and the manufacturing cost is reduced.

  • Patent number: 8922596
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display (LCD) overdriving method, an LCD overdriving device and an LCD are disclosed. The LCD overdriving method improves displaying quality and a response speed of the LCD comprising the following steps of: receiving by a scaling controller, a previous frame image grayscale value stored into a frame buffer of the scaling controller; receiving a next frame image grayscale value by the scaling controller and sending the previous frame image grayscale value and the next frame image grayscale value to a time schedule controller so that the time schedule controller looks up a lookup table and outputs an overdriving grayscale value. The present disclosure can effectively save the cost by eliminating the need of providing an additional frame buffer in the time schedule controller. Furthermore, as image grayscale values of only two pixels need to be stored in the time schedule controller, it can save more memory spaces.

  • Publication number: 20130044085
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a liquid crystal panel driving circuit and a liquid crystal display (LCD) device using the same, multiple scan chips and multiple discharge resistors which are corresponding to all the scan chips one-to-one, wherein each said discharge resistor is used for loading the scan drive and the scan line of the corresponding scan chip. Because the loading resistor group of the clipper circuit is divided into multiple discharge resistors which are matched with all the scan chips, the discharge energy will be reduced as long as each discharge resistor is responsible for the loading of the corresponding scan chip, and the problem of local overheating will not be generated. In addition, the discharge resistors can be distributed into different positions; the arrangement of the driving circuit can be freely selected; the heat is uniformly dissipated by distributing the discharge resistors, and local overheating will be avoided and not affect the performance of the circuit.
