The memory is used for storing multiple sets of preset modes. The scaler is electrically connected to the memory and the driver. When the scaler receives an image signal corresponding to at least two different applications, the scaler provides the different preset modes of the applications to non-overlapped display zones, which the applications located in, of a display frame, such that the driver can simultaneously drives at least two of the different preset modes on the display panel. | 2012-06-28 |
20120162278 | DISPLAY PANEL - An exemplary display panel includes a plurality of monochrome pixels, a plurality of data lines and a plurality of control lines. Each monochrome pixel provides a specific color on the display panel. The data lines are electrically coupled to the monochrome pixels for providing the display data. The data lines includes a first data line electrically coupled to a part of the monochrome pixels, and the specific colors provided by the part of the monochrome pixels are of the same color. Besides, each of the control lines is electrically coupled to a part of the monochrome pixels for controlling the part of the monochrome pixels electrically coupled thereto whether to receive the display data from the data lines. | 2012-06-28 |
20120162279 | DISPLAY APPARATUS WITH BACKLIGHT DRIVING CIRCUIT AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A display apparatus and a control method thereof are disclosed. The display apparatus includes a signal processor which processes a video signal; a display which displays an image based on the video signal processed by the signal processor, a light source providing light for displaying the image; and a driving circuit which drives the light source on the basis of a dimming signal having an on-section and an off-section for dimming the light source. The driving circuit includes a protection circuit for performing a protection operation as a result of an abnormal electric current flowing in the light source during the off-section. The display apparatus is protected when a short circuit occurs between the light source and the driving circuit, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the apparatus. | 2012-06-28 |
20120162280 | SIGNAL PROCESSING DEVICE, SIGNAL PROCESSING METHOD, DISPLAY DEVICE, AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - A signal processing device measures an actual luminance of a pixel circuit having a light-emitting device every update period by setting levels of gradation values. A conversion efficiency value is calculated for the light-emitting device to convert a driving current supplied in accordance with a gradation value into a luminance based on the luminance value and a gradation value corresponding to the luminance value. A driving current corresponding to the luminance value is calculated, and a comparison is made of the relationship between the driving current and a gradation value corresponding to the luminance value with the relationship between a driving current and a gradation value when the pixel circuit is in a correction reference state. This is used to calculate a current amount deterioration value of a driving current of the pixel circuit, and generates current amount deterioration characteristic information of the pixel circuit. | 2012-06-28 |
20120162281 | LIGHT GUIDE PLATE, BACKLIGHT UNIT AND DISPLAY APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - A light guide plate, a backlight unit and a display apparatus including the same and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The light guide plate includes: a body which includes an incident surface and an emission surface; at least one first optical path converter which is formed in an opposite surface of the body which is opposite to the emission surface, and extends continuously in a first direction to convert an optical path of an incident light introduced through the incident surface so that the incident light passes through the emission surface; and at least one second optical path converter which is formed in the opposite surface, and is arranged discontinuously in at least one row extending in the first direction. | 2012-06-28 |
