Abstract: An LCD driving apparatus and an LCD driving method are provided in the application. The LCD driving apparatus includes a difference value circuit which determines whether to enable an overdriving circuit and a memory controller according to a gray level variation between two adjacent frames. When the gray level variation between two adjacent frames is less than a predetermined threshold, the overdriving circuit and the memory controller are disabled so as to reduce power consumption.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for generating a control signal are provided. This method includes following steps. First, a reset parameter is generated according to a data enable signal and a clock signal, wherein the reset parameter indicates a cycle of the data enable signal. Next, a counting value is generated according to a positive rising edge of the data enable signal and the reset parameter. Finally, a control signal is generated according to the counting value. As a result, the control signal can be continually generated to apply various techniques when variation the data enable signal is ceased.

Abstract: A device of gathering statistics of the gray distribution of an image and a method thereof are provided. The device includes a comparing unit, a count unit, a memory unit, and a data allotment unit. The comparing unit determines gray information of a plurality of gray data of the input image, and output a respective count signal accordingly. The count unit includes a plurality of counters. Each counter corresponding to predetermined gray information has a count value. The counters update the count values according to the respective count signals. When the count value exceeds a predetermined value, the count unit outputs a pulse signal corresponding to the predetermined gray information. The data allotment unit updates the statistics of the gray distribution of the image stored in the memory unit according to the pulse signal. The present invention reduces the number of the registers the counters require and decreases hardware costs.

Abstract: An image compression/decompression device and a method thereof are provided. In the method, a first array is generated according to an input image array, and further, a second array is generated by performing an edge detection algorithm according to the input image array. Besides, a plurality of elements of a third array is generated according to the first array. Furthermore, a group of elements of the third array is selected according to the second array. In addition, an average value of the group of elements is computed to obtain an element of an output image array. Each element of the input image array and the third array is M bits, and each element of the first array is N bits, wherein M and N are natural numbers, and M is larger than N. Thereby, the quality of a decompressed image is improved.
