  • Patent number: 10692459
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a signal controller, a panel driver, and a display panel. The signal controller includes N functional blocks that process input image signals to output image data signals and convert input control signals to internal control signals to output the internal control signals. The panel driver converts the image data signals to image data voltages in response to the internal control signals to output the image data voltages and outputs a gate driving voltage. The display panel receives the gate driving voltage and the image data voltages to display an image. A screen of the display panel includes a first area and a second area different from the first area. First input image signals corresponding to the first area among the input image signals are processed by I functional blocks (I is smaller than N) among the N functional blocks.

  • Publication number: 20190122627
    Abstract: A display device includes a display panel and a display panel driver. The display panel driver includes an over-driver which selects an over-driving data from an over-driving pattern which moves to a predetermined direction, generates a reference line based on a first polynomial expression generated based on the over-driving data, and generates an over-driving data lookup table by moving the reference line, a data driver which outputs a data signal generated based on the over-driving data lookup table to the data line of the display panel, and a gate driver which outputs a gate signal to the gate line of the display panel.

  • Patent number: 10078990
    Abstract: A timing controller includes: a compensator to receive an image signal and to output a compensation image signal; a dimming range adjustor to receive a backlight dimming signal and to output a dimming range signal to adjust an active section of the backlight dimming signal; a smoothing processor to output a smoothing image signal to smooth the compensation image signal in response to the dimming range signal; and a data output part to output an image data signal by adding the smoothing image signal to the image signal.

  • Patent number: 9997128
    Abstract: A display panel driving apparatus includes a data processor configured to receive N-th line data of image data. N is a natural number not less than 2. The data processor is further configured to perform a first line delay on the N-th line data to output (N?1)-th line data, to output (N?1)-th line substitution data which is obtained by N-th line substitution data, which is based on the N-th line data and the (N?1)-th line data, and to compensate the N-th line data based on the N-th line data and the (N?1)-th line substitution data to output compensation image data. The display panel driving apparatus further includes a data driver and a gate driver.
