  • Patent number: 8421927
    Abstract: A display device includes a display panel, a light source module and a skin-color detector. The display panel has a plurality of sub pixel units, and the sub pixel units include red sub pixel units, green sub pixel units, blue sub pixel units and white sub pixel units. The light source module is disposed at a side of the display panel and the light source module includes a white light source and a yellow light source distributed in the white light source. The skin-color detector is electrically connected to the display panel, wherein the skin-color detector detects the skin-color area proportion of an image signal of the display panel.

  • Publication number: 20120050340
    Abstract: A color-temperature-compensation (CTC) method and applications thereof are provided, and which includes determining intensities of weights of three colors in an inputted three-dimension color signal; if yes, performing a lookup table mechanism to find-out a first set of multi-primary-color (MPC) signal corresponding to the three colors with the same weights, and performing a digital-gamma-correction (DGC) to the first set of MPC signal for providing a first set of CTC signal accordingly; if no, performing the lookup table mechanism to find-out a second set of MPC signal corresponding to the three colors with different weights, and performing the DGC to the second set of MPC signal for providing a second set of CTC signal accordingly; and making at least one same color with the same intensity in the three colors with the same weights and in the three colors with different weights displaying on an MPC display have different brightness.

  • Publication number: 20110304660
    Abstract: An exemplary display device driving method is applied to a display device. The display device includes a pixel array and a data driving circuit. The pixel array has first through fourth pixels. Each of the first through fourth pixels includes first through fourth sub-pixels. In the display device driving method, each of the first through fourth pixels is provided with a data signal. At least one colored sub-pixel is enabled to display a second gray level in turns in multiple frames of a same frequency period, and the remained sub-pixels are enabled to display a first gray level smaller than the second gray level.
