  • Publication number: 20200234675
    Abstract: A driving apparatus and a driving signal generating method are provided. The driving apparatus includes a timing controller, a driver, a switch and a resistor. The timing controller generates a bi-direction lock signal. The driver receives a differential signal pair. The switch is turned on or cut off according to an eye diagram detection result of the differential signal pair. According to the bi-direction lock signal, the timing controller and the driver are used to: operate a first clock and data recovery (CDR) operation on the differential signal pair during a first time period; set setting parameters of an output differential voltage, a pre-emphasis circuit and an equalizer according to the eye diagram detection result and an on/off state of the switch, and perform a second CDR operation during a second time period; and drive a display according to the differential signal pair during a third time period.

  • Publication number: 20180158395
    Abstract: A display panel includes a substrate, a pixel array and a plurality of driving module. The substrate is defined with a wire area and a active area. The pixel array is disposed in the active area. The driving module is disposed in the wire area. Each driving module is electrically to corresponding and multiple pixels in the pixel array through a plurality of wire. Each driving module receives one of multiple starting signals. Each driving module provides a plurality driving signal to the pixels according to the received driving module. A first wire and a second wire are defined among the wires. The first wire is longer than the second wire. The time delay reference to a reference time point of the driving signal provided to the first wire from the driving module is smaller than the time delay reference to a reference time point of the driving signal provided to the second wire.

  • Publication number: 20170119083
    Abstract: An upper for an article of footwear is configured to be connected to a sole structure and is configured to receive a foot. The upper includes a knitted component having a strobel portion that is configured to be disposed underneath the foot. The strobel portion defines an interior surface and an exterior surface of the knitted component. The strobel portion defines a strobel passage between the interior surface and the exterior surface. Also, the upper includes a tensile strand that extends through the strobel passage.

  • Patent number: 7548249
    Abstract: A method of dynamic frame presentation improvement for liquid crystal display is disclosed. The method comprises the step of providing a gray level mapping table, which maps the signal gray levels from 0 to N into mapped gray levels from 1 to N?1 level. Thereafter, the mapped data is fed into over-voltage compensation circuit. The over-voltage compensation circuit then implements process of the gray level ascending or gray level descending while the previous frame turns into current frame with a varied gray level.
