  • Patent number: 8305321
    Abstract: An apparatus for driving source lines includes an output buffer, a first switch and a second switch. The output buffer outputs a first voltage and a second voltage having an opposite phase to the first voltage during an output interval including a first interval portion and a second interval portion. The first switch applies the first and second voltages to an m-th source line and an (m+1)-th source line respectively during the first interval portion and blocks the first and second voltages during the second interval portion. The second switch includes a plurality of switching elements, the second switch short-circuiting the m-th source line and the (m+1)-th source line during the second interval portion, wherein the m-th source line has at least two connecting portions to be electrically connected to the (m+1)-th source line.

  • Publication number: 20080192032
    Abstract: A display apparatus and a method of driving the same that can prevent erroneous operation by compensating for the delay of a gate turn-on signal. A signal detector generates a delay control signal according to an internal clock signal and the gate turn-on signal. The signal detector detects whether the gate turn-on signal applied to the gate line is delayed or not, and the pulse width of a logic high period of the clock signal is controlled according to the detection result, such that it is possible to compensate for the delay of the gate turn-on signal.

  • Patent number: 6680588
    Abstract: Disclosed is a backlight system and a method for driving backlight capable of reducing noises and voltage fluctuations in power voltage due to a turn-on/turn-off of the lamp. The backlight system includes two lamps, a power supply unit for supplying alternating voltage or alternating current supplies power for driving the lamps to each lamp with a predetermined time lag or phase difference. With this feature of the present invention, the magnitude of noise and voltage fluctuations occurring in the power voltages supplied to the power supply unit may be significantly reduced. Thus, deterioration of display quality, flicker, etc., due to noise and voltage fluctuation can be prevented. Also, there is provided a backlight system which may produce a lamp driving signal with a constant frequency obtained by multiplying a frequency of vertical synchronization signal by an integer.
