  • Patent number: 11749190
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a display panel, a data driving circuit, a scan driving circuit, and a signal control circuit that receives input data. The signal control circuit includes a histogram check unit that divides data of one frame among the input data into a plurality of regions based on a gray scale and calculates a distribution of the data based on the plurality of regions, a gray check unit that calculates the number of major grayscales having data of a specific number or more among the input data, an optical waveform analysis unit that generates a signal calculated based on an optical waveform of the plurality of pixels, and a frequency selection unit that selects a driving frequency of the display panel based on the distribution of the data, the number of the major grayscales, and the signal.

  • Patent number: 10078172
    Abstract: A display device includes a display panel and a backlight unit which provides light to the display panel. The backlight unit includes a light source which emits the light, a light guide plate which guides the light emitted from the light source toward the display panel, and a prism plate. The prism plate includes a base film disposed on the light guide plate and a plurality of prisms disposed on the base film. Each of the prisms has an isosceles trapezoidal section, two base angles of which are obtuse angles, when viewed from a cross-sectional view in a width direction.
