  • Publication number: 20120223927
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device and a method for driving the same are disclosed. The liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal panel and a driving circuit. The driving circuit includes a timing controller, a detection unit, a level shift circuit, a gate driver unit, and at least one source driver unit. The timing controller receives a frame rate and provides at least one gate turn-on signal and a source data writing signal for each of at least two different frame rates. The detecting unit detects the frame rate. The timing controller adjusts a duty cycle of the source data writing signal, so that the charge time is maintained to be substantially constant for any one of the different frame rates. Accordingly, a problem of flickering phenomenon can be avoided.

  • Publication number: 20110050554
    Abstract: A display device includes a panel, a receiving interface, a timing control module, a backlight module and a backlight driving unit. The receiving interface receives a first data signal and a first backlight control signal with a first timing. The timing control module converts the first data signal into a second data signal and then outputs the second data signal to the panel. Furthermore, based on the second data signal, the timing control module converts the first backlight control signal into a second backlight control signal with a second timing different from the first timing and then outputs the second backlight control signal. After receiving the second backlight control signal from the timing control module, the backlight driving unit is controlled by the second backlight control signal to output an output voltage signal to the backlight module.
