Abstract: A device for evaluating connectivity between a video driver and a display, the device comprises a first video driver, a first output connector, a first terminating resistance; wherein the device is characterized by comprising a first comparison unit; wherein the first video driver has an output port that is coupled to the first output connector, to the first terminating resistance and to the first comparison unit; wherein the first output connector is configured to be coupled via a first cable to a first input of the display; wherein the first comparison unit is adapted to perform comparisons between a voltage level on the first terminating resistance to multiple thresholds and to determine whether a display first input impedance is substantially equal to the first terminating resistance, whether the display first input impedance is substantially lower then the first terminating resistance, or whether the first video driver is disconnected from the display; wherein the comparisons are executed during a pixel

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: The analog demultiplexer (FIG. 6) includes an input amplifier (A1), and output amplifiers (AMP1-AMPN). The output and inverting (−) input of amplifiers (AMP1-AMPN) are connected by a respective capacitor (C1-CN). Switches (S1a, S1b, etc.) connect the output of amplifier (A1) to the inverting input of one of (AMP1-AMPN). Switches (S2a, S2b, etc.) connect the output of one of (AMP1-AMPN) to the non-inverting input of the amplifier A1. Switches (S2a, S2b, etc.) and (S1a, S1b, etc.) open and close together in pairs. With feedback from the output of (AMP1-AMPN) through (A1), the gain and any offset of (AMP1-AMPN) is divided down by the gain of (A1). Amplifier (A1) has capacitors (CS1 and CS2) connected to its inputs. Switch (S50) connects the inverting input of amplifier (A1) to its output, and switch (S40) connects the non-inverting input of (A1) to a voltage reference (VREF) matching (VREF) applied to (AMP2). Switches (S30) and (S35) connect (CS1) and (CS2) to the demultiplexer input (2).
Abstract: A projection type imaging display system utilizing a liquid crystal panel projector. The zoom position of a projection lens is detected as an indicator of the aspect ratio of the main image being projected. Based on the zoom position, the position of an information display signal superimposed upon the main image is adjusted relative to the position of the main image, so that the information display signal is displayed on the main image no matter what the aspect ratio of the main image is.
