Each of the neutralization switches has an on-resistance value that differs among the RBG colors. A low value is set for the on-resistance value of the neutralization switch of the data line corresponding to green of which visual sensitivity is high so as to shorten the charge neutralization period, thereby extending the driving periods in which the subsequent gradation signals are to be output respectively. | 2009-08-20 |

20090207194 | DRIVING METHOD - A driving method adapted to driving an optical touch panel is provided. The optical touch panel is disposed on a backlight module and has a plurality of touch sensing elements. The touch sensing elements have a light-shading sensing mode and a light-reflecting sensing mode. The driving method includes sensing an intensity of an ambient light. When the intensity of the ambient light is greater than a reference, the touch sensing elements operate in the light-shading sensing mode. Alternately, when the intensity of the ambient light is smaller than the reference, the touch sensing elements operate in the light-reflecting sensing mode. The abovementioned driving method is help for the optical touch panel to accurately sensing in various conditions of different ambient lights such that the usage of the optical touch panel is more convenient. | 2009-08-20 |
20090207195 | SCREEN CONDENSATION WITH HETEROGENEOUS DISPLAY RESOLUTION - In one embodiment, a video signal is displayed on a display screen in two or more resolutions. The video signal may be of a first resolution and the display screen may be set to a second resolution. In one embodiment, the video signal resolution is of a size that is greater than the size of the display screen resolution. The method includes displaying a first portion of the video signal in a first resolution in a first region of the display. A second portion of the video signal is then displayed in a second resolution in a second region of the display. The second resolution is a resolution that displays at least a portion of the video signal that would be off screen if the video signal is displayed in the first resolution. Accordingly, more of the signal can be displayed on the screen. | 2009-08-20 |
