Patent number: 8446338Abstract: An image display apparatus which is capable of optimizing the image quality of a plurality of display devices having different optical characteristics when carrying out processing of an image signal supplied to the display devices, without providing a dedicated display driving circuit for each display device. The image display apparatus comprises a plurality of liquid crystal display panels (10, 11) having different optical characteristics. A liquid crystal driving circuit (2) processes an image signal outputted to the liquid crystal display panels (10, 11). Operative states of the liquid crystal display panels (10, 11) are detected. At least one processing characteristic of the liquid crystal driving circuit (2) is changed according to the detected operative states.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2012Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Toshiyuki Matsumoto

Patent number: 8441412Abstract: A method and apparatus for displaying data on bi-stable and non-bi-stable displays is provided. The apparatus includes a controller chip capable of being connected to a non-bi-stable display through a first interface channel and also capable of being connected to a bi-stable display via the first interface channel and an additional second interface channel. When connected the non-bi-stable display, the second interface channel is not connected. The second interface channel may carry mode information bits to the bi-stable display module to allow the bi-stable display to utilize power-saving features.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2011Date of Patent: May 14, 2013Assignee: QUALCOMM MEMS Technologies, Inc.Inventor: William Cummings

Patent number: 8427392Abstract: A notebook computer having a display port capable of outputting a vertical synchronous signal, a horizontal synchronous signal, a red signal, a green signal, and a blue signal to an external display device to display an image is disclosed. The notebook computer includes a monitor device built in the notebook computer, an embedded controller capable of outputting an enable signal and a detecting circuit receiving a first signal, a second signal and the enable signal. The first signal is the vertical synchronous signal or the horizontal synchronous signal. The second signal is the red signal, the green signal or the blue signal. When the external display device is disconnected with the display port, the detecting circuit may determine the second signal according to the actuation of the enable signal at a blanking interval of the first signal and switch the image to the monitor device automatically.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2010Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.Inventor: Yong-Der Lee
