Abstract: A gate driver is used to drive scan lines, a first scan line to a mth scan line. The m is a positive integer. The gate driver comprises driver units, a first driver unit to a mth driver unit, coupled with the first scan line to the mth scan line respectively. The driver units generate scan signals, a first scan signal to a mth scan signal, to drive the first scan line to the mth scan line respectively. The first driver unit, the second driver unit, the (m?1)th driver unit and the mth driver unit have the same circuit structure. The third driver unit and the (m?2)th driver unit have the same circuit structure. The fourth driver unit and the (m?3)th driver unit have the same circuit structure.

Abstract: An integrated gate driver circuit includes a control circuit, a plurality of drive stages and a plurality of discharge transistors. The control circuit is configured to output a plurality of clock signals within a frame period and to output a discharge enabling signal within a blanking period of the frame period. Each of the drive stages receives the clock signals and includes an output terminal configured to output a gate driving signal. Each of the discharge transistors is coupled to the output terminal of one of the drive stages and discharges the output terminal according to the discharge enabling signal thereby eliminating the voltage fluctuation of the output terminal in the blanking period.

Abstract: A method and a system for managing network identity are provided. The method and the system realize a management mechanism of temporary identification (ID) and real ID, which simultaneously achieves functionalities such as anonymity, accounting, and authorization. A short-term certificate and a corresponding public/private key pair are used to protect a temporary ID usable for accounting. This protection prevents the temporary ID from theft. The user generates a digital signature in the reply to a charge schedule statement from the visited network. This procedure is incorporated into an existing authentication framework based on Transport Layer Security (TLS) in order to provide an undeniable payment mechanism. The payment mechanism is applicable in an environment of multiple network operators and reduces the difficulty of integrating network operators. The method and the system do not have to consult a certificate revocation list (CRL) for authentication and thus are able to shorten authentication time.
