Patent number: 7911498Abstract: Disclosed is a digital signal processing architecture for a flat panel display having non-uniform regions, which is not by means of materials, optical films or fabrication processes. Therefore, the manufacturing cost and complexity of the flat panel display are not negatively affected. In the digital signal processing architecture, a test is performed on the panel for identifying all pixel locations in non-uniform regions and non-uniform types. Then, input video signals are compared with data about the relative non-uniform regions for determining whether the video signal falls in a normal-region pixel or a non-uniform region pixel. Then the non-uniform compensation on the video signal falling in the non-uniform region pixel is based on the non-uniform type, so that the video signals displayed on the panel are not negatively affected.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2006Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Assignee: Novatek Microelectronics Corp.Inventor: Yu-Chuan Shen

Publication number: 20070132661Abstract: The present invention discloses a compensation hardware device for non-uniform regions in a flat panel display. The hardware device processes the flat panel display having non-uniform regions through digital signal processing, instead of by using materials, optical films or fabrication processes. Therefore, the manufacturing cost and complexity of the flat panel display are not negatively affected. In the digital signal processing architecture, a non-uniform-region compensation unit is used to process a video signal falling in a non-uniform region pixel, such that the non-uniform regions may not negatively affect the video signal displayed on the panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2006Publication date: June 14, 2007Applicant: NOVATEK MICROELECTRONICS CORP.Inventors: Yu-Chuan Shen, Mei-Fei Chen, Chee-Boon Ng

Publication number: 20070035674Abstract: An active device array substrate comprising a substrate, a plurality of scan lines, a plurality of data lines and a plurality of active devices is provided. The scan lines, the data lines, and the active devices are disposed on the substrate. Each of the active devices is connected to one of the scan lines and one of the data lines and the surfaces of the active devices are not parallel to the surface of the substrate. Because surfaces of the active devices incline to the surface of the substrate, the projection areas of non-transparency of the active devices on the surface of the substrate could be reduced. Moreover, this active device array substrate could be applied to a liquid crystal display panel and other active matrix flat panel display to obtain a better pixel aperture.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2005Publication date: February 15, 2007Inventor: Yu-Chuan Shen
