  • Publication number: 20160049124
    Abstract: A low color shift display panel includes a pixel array. The pixel array includes a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel. Each of the first sub-pixel and second sub-pixel respectively includes a data line, a gate line, a first transistor coupled to the data line and a first liquid crystal capacitor, a second transistor coupled to the data line and a second liquid crystal capacitor, and a third transistor coupled to a common voltage and the second transistor. The first sub-pixel has a first ratio which is the width-to-length ratio of the third transistor divided by the width-to-length ratio of the second transistor. The second sub-pixel has a second ratio which is the width-to-length ratio of the third transistor divided by the width-to-length ratio of the second transistor. The second ratio is smaller than the first ratio.

  • Patent number: 9165495
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a crosstalk compensation method and a display apparatus using the same. The method includes: configuring a compensation range with the compensation range set between the maximum gray level and the minimum gray level; establishing a look-up table to record compensation values for each gray level in the compensation range; determining whether the gray level of a first color sub-pixel on the display panel is set within the compensating range. When it is determined that the gray level of the first color sub-pixel is set within the compensation range selects a compensating value for configuring an initial gray level of an adjacent second color sub-pixel to a correction gray level. When it is determined that the gray level of the first color sub-pixel is set outside the compensation range, maintains the gray level of the second color sub-pixel at the initial gray level.

  • Publication number: 20140125568
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel, a source driver, a gate driver and a timing controller. The LCD panel includes a main scan line, a sub scan line, a first pixel and a second pixel. The timing controller controls the gate driver to alternately output a main scan signal and a sub scan signal within every frame time. A time difference between the main scan signal and adjacent the sub scan signal is a delay time value. The main scan signal controls the first pixel to be written with a first polarity data and the second pixel to be written with a second polarity data. The frame times include at least two different delay time values.

  • Publication number: 20130314395
    Abstract: An image display system includes a data driving circuit and a timing controller. The data driving circuit outputs multiple data driving signals to provide data of an image signal to multiple pixels on a pixel array. The timing controller obtains original pixel values of the pixels according to the image signal, adjusts the original pixel value(s) of one or more pixel(s) according to a predetermined algorithm to generate adjusted pixel value(s), and generates the data driving signals according to the original pixel values and the adjusted pixel value(s). Based on the predetermined algorithm, an original pixel value of a pixel is adjusted according to a difference between the original pixel value of the pixel and an original pixel value of an adjacent pixel.
