A controller automatically adjusts a color of an object appearing in the image on the display surface based on the at least one image of an object. | 2014-02-06 |
| 20140035894 | Three-Dimension LCD and the Driving Method - The present invention discloses a method of driving a 3D LCD. The 3D LCD includes N data lines and 2M scan lines. The driving method includes that scanning two adjacent scan lines of 2M scan lines once a time in order in a first scanning period while outputting data correspondent to a first frame to the N data lines, and turning even number of the 2M scanning lines on in order in a second scanning period while outputting data of a second frame to the N data lines, wherein the first frame is for user's one eye, and the second frame is for user's the other eye. | 2014-02-06 |
| 20140035895 | DISPLAY DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, AND DRIVING METHOD OF DISPLAY PANEL - A color display unit includes subpixels arranged in matrix form. Display pixels are formed from multiple subpixels, one for each of the display colors, grouped together across multiple subpixel rows. Drive units are formed including multiple rows of display pixels that are connected to a common power supply line. Common write scanning lines are provided, where the number of common write scanning lines per drive unit equals the number of rows of subpixels that are included in a display pixel. Each common write scanning line is connected to every pixel of at least one given color in its respective drive unit. The drive units are driven sequentially in a drive-unit-scanning direction. Within each individual drive unit, the write scanning lines thereof are scanned for the signal writing operation sequentially in a scanning direction opposite to the drive-unit-scanning direction. | 2014-02-06 |
