Abstract: An exemplary debugging system (2) for a liquid crystal display device (26) includes a host computer (22). The host computer includes a graphics card (220), a driver layer (225), and an application layer (226). The application layer includes a graphical user interface, and the driver layer includes a plurality of drivers to drive the graphics card. The host computer is configured for storing chip data of a scaler chip (260) of the liquid crystal display device, reading and writing the scaler chip via the graphics card, and displaying corresponding chip data on the liquid crystal display device via the graphical user interface such that the corresponding chip data can be revised in a debugging process of the liquid crystal display device.

Abstract: An exemplary testing system for liquid crystal displays includes a host (1) and a liquid crystal display (2). The host includes a display card (10) having a memory (105). Plural reference data according to a plurality of timing control modes are stored in the memory. The display card controls the liquid crystal display to display testing images by transmitting horizontal synchronization signals, vertical synchronization signals, red signals, green signals, and blue signals to the liquid crystal display using one of the timing control modes.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically upgrading the firmware of a display without user interaction, wherein a new version of firmware is downloaded and stored at a host computer. The host computer monitors all communications between the host computer and an external source to determine when new or updated firmware has been uploaded. If the host computer includes a graphic card, the display is checked to determine whether it is active. If the display is active, communication over a communication cable located between the host computer and display is established, and the new version of firmware is uploaded to memory located in the display. The host computer forwards the firmware over the communication cable as at least one signal component, such as data and clock signals, which is transmitted from a graphic card located in the host computer to a graphic processor located in the display.
