  • Patent number: 11568793
    Abstract: A scan-type display apparatus includes an LED array, a display module, a control module and a driver module. The LED array has a common anode configuration. The control module generates a synchronization control (SC) signal. Based on the SC signal, the driver module outputs an input voltage to scan lines of the LED array sequentially without overlapping in time so as to drive LEDs of the LED array to emit light in a line scan manner, and generates an image refresh signal that is related to the output of the input voltage to one of the scan lines which corresponds to a last line of the line scan in each line scan cycle and that is further related to refreshing of images on a display constituted by the LED array and the display module.

  • Patent number: 8902053
    Abstract: A method and a system for lane departure warning are provided. The method is as follows. An original image is segmented into a plurality of regional images. Next, characteristics of each regional image are analyzed, and accordingly non-lane line regions are removed from the regional images, so as to obtain a plurality of lane line candidates. Then, a plurality of lane lines are determined from the lane line candidates according to a location of each lane line candidate in the original image. Finally, the lane lines are distinguished into left lane lines and right lane lines, and a variation of an angle between each left lane line and a horizontal line and a variation of an angle between each right lane line and the horizontal line are analyzed, so as to judge whether a vehicle departs from a lane and send a lane departure warning.
