Abstract: Functionality is described for reducing the unauthorized reproduction of optical media, such as optical discs of various types. The functionality operates by adding a physical descriptor to an optical medium, forming reference descriptor information based on the descriptor (by reading the descriptor Lr times), producing authenticity information based on the reference descriptor information, and providing the authenticity information to a disc use site via various modes. At the disc use site, the functionality operates by reading the authenticity information and reading the descriptor Lv times (where Lv may not equal Lr). Based on the information that is read, the functionality performs cryptographic analysis and descriptor-based analysis to validate the optical medium. The descriptor can be formed on a closed loop of the optical medium. The functionality also includes provisions for reducing the possibility that unwanted correction is performed, which may interfere with analysis of the descriptor.

This way, the data driver is simplified, and the first data lines are pre-charged with a suitable voltage before programming data, thereby reducing programming time.

Abstract: Disclosed is a display device using a demultiplexer. The demultiplexer sequentially samples the data current that is time-divided and applied by a data driver, and holds it to the data lines. Since the demultiplexer is to sample the data currents corresponding to N data lines during one horizontal period when performing 1:N demultiplexing, the data current corresponding to one data line is sampled during the 1/N horizontal period. In the present invention, a signal line coupled between the demultiplexer and the data driver is precharged with the current before coupling a precharge circuit to a sample/hold circuit and sampling the data current. The precharge current is M times the data current where M is a real number greater than 1.
