  • Publication number: 20130135330
    Abstract: A display device includes a display panel having gate lines and data lines, a signal controller driving the display panel, a graphic processing unit transmitting input image data to the signal controller, a gate driver driving the gate lines, and a data driver driving the data lines. The display panel is driven at a first frequency when displaying a moving image and driven at a lower frequency when displaying a still image. The signal controller includes a frame memory storing the input image data, a calculator calculating a representative value of image data stored in the frame memory, a line memory storing the representative value, and a kick-back corrector generating auxiliary image data by correcting the representative value according to a kick-back voltage. The data driver applies an auxiliary voltage corresponding to the auxiliary image data to the data lines in a vertical blank period when displaying the still image.

  • Patent number: 8378943
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display system including a signal processing device uses interpolation to generate an intermediate image frame using previous image frame data and present image frame data. The system converts data of the intermediate image frame into transposed image data that is to be used to drive a liquid crystal display panel and display a corresponding image. The transposed image data and the present image data are subjected to a prespecified DCC process (dynamic capacitance compensation process) to thereby generate respective first and second compensation image data. Since the first compensation image data is generated based on the transposed image data and the transposition is configured to prevent over-compensation by the DCC process, over-compensation by the dynamic capacitance compensation process can be reduced or prevented.

  • Publication number: 20120162172
    Abstract: A method of driving a display panel determines whether an image mode of an image signal is a 2D flat image mode or a 3D stereoscopic image mode. A first reverse signal and a second reverse signal different from the first reverse signal are generated according to the image mode. The image signal is converted to a first polarity data voltage or a second polarity data voltage with respect to a reference voltage based on the first reverse signal or the second reverse signal, and the first polarity data voltage or the second polarity data voltage is outputted to a display panel. During the 3D stereoscopic image mode, polarities of data voltages are reversed at a period of a plurality of frames, so that display quality of the 3D stereoscopic image may be enhanced.
