Zong-Hua Cai has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9972236
    Abstract: A data line driving circuit for a display device having a plurality of data lines is provided to include a plurality of data line drivers respectively coupled to the data lines. Each data line driver includes a register unit to store video data having a pixel value, a pulse width modulation unit generating a PWM signal having a pulse width positively correlated with the pixel value, and a charge-discharge unit performing charge-discharge operation to generate a data voltage on a respective one of the data lines according to the PWM signal. A magnitude of voltage variation on the respective data line is positively correlated with the pulse width of the PWM signal during the charge-discharge operation.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9543954
    Abstract: A driver circuit with device variation compensation function and an operation method thereof are provided. The driver circuit includes a pull-up switch unit, an isolating switch and a pull-down switch unit. A first terminal of the pull-up switch unit is coupled to a first voltage. A second terminal of the pull-up switch unit is coupled to an output terminal of the driver circuit. A first terminal of the isolating switch is coupled to the second terminal of the pull-up switch unit. A first terminal of the pull-down switch unit is coupled to a second terminal of the isolating switch. A second terminal of the pull-down switch unit is coupled to a second voltage. The pull-down switch unit has a device variation compensation function.
