Abstract: DDR_SDRAM chips running at 1.5 clock rate are used for transferring image data from an image data source to a source driver in a display panel. In general, P DDR_SDRAM chips running at a 1.5 clock rate are used to store frame data in N frames. If the frame date in each of the N frames is n bits and the memory space in the DDR_SDRAM chip is m, then P is a smallest integer equal to or greater than N multiplied by (n/m). In data transfer in a frame, a line period is partitioned into N segments and each DDR-SDRAM chip is separated into (N?1) parts such that the parts are used to read different data in the different frames. In order to share I/O pins when using a number of DDR_SDRAM chips, the read/write sequence for the all DDR_SDRAM chips follows the same command and address.

Abstract: A method for driving an active matrix display wherein each image frame is divided into a number of displayed frame portions, each of which is followed by a darker frame portion. The image data in the darker frame portion is removed so as to allow the pixel luminance to diminish. The temporal separation between the displayed frame portion and the following darker frame portion is smaller than a frame time. In a display where the lines are driven repetitively for forming the display image in a plurality of frame times, the image data provided to a pixel, after the luminance in that pixel changes from low to high, is adjusted so that the brightness of the pixel in the preceding frame times appear higher or not lower than that in following frames times.
