Abstract:
Provided are an image signal compensation apparatus and a liquid crystal display (LCD) including the same. The image signal compensation apparatus includes a lookup table (LUT) and an image signal compensation unit. The LUT includes reference data that corresponds to each combination of first and second reference gray levels and is arranged in a matrix. The image signal compensation unit receives first and second image signals, receives reference data corresponding to the first and second image signals from the LUT, and compensates the second image signal using the reference data. The reference data includes diagonal reference data located on a diagonal line in the matrix, and at least one diagonal reference data from among the diagonal reference data has a different value from a corresponding combination of the first and second reference gray levels.
Abstract:
In a method of operating a display panel, a plurality of data lines are divided into a first data line group through an N-th data line group, where N is a natural number equal to or greater than two. Each of the first through N-th data line groups includes at least two data lines. The first through N-th data line groups are sequentially driven by applying first data voltages through N-th data voltages to the first through N-th data line groups, respectively at different times. A first number of data lines in the first data line group is variable.
Abstract:
A method of driving a display panel includes comparing a previous line data and a present line data to generate a charge sharing enable (EQ) signal indicating whether or not a charge sharing is to be applied to a pixel; selectively applying the charge sharing to the present line data utilizing a charge sharing voltage according to the EQ signal to generate a data voltage; and outputting the data voltage to the pixel.
Abstract:
A display apparatus includes a timing controller and a display panel. The timing controller generates first and second image data based on input image data and generates output image data based on the first and second image data. The first image data corresponds to a boundary region in a first image. The second image data corresponds to a non-boundary region in the first image. The display panel includes a plurality of pixels and displays the first image based on the output image data. The plurality of pixels include boundary pixels corresponding to the boundary region and non-boundary pixels corresponding to the non-boundary region. The boundary pixels operate based on a reference gamma curve. The non-boundary pixels operate based on first and second gamma curves different from the reference gamma curve.
Abstract:
A data driver includes a digital-to-analog converter, a control signal output circuit, and an output buffer. The digital-to-analog converter generates first data voltages and second data voltages based on image data and a polarity control signal. Each first data voltage has a positive polarity, and each second data voltage has a negative polarity. The control signal output circuit outputs a first output control signal and a second output control signal based on the polarity control signal. A phase of the second output control signal is different from a phase of the first output control signal. The output buffer outputs the first data voltages based on the first output control signal and outputs the second data voltages based on the second output control signal.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display system including a signal processing device uses interpolation to generate an intermediate image frame using previous image frame data and present image frame data. The system converts data of the intermediate image frame into transposed image data that is to be used to drive a liquid crystal display panel and display a corresponding image. The transposed image data and the present image data are subjected to a prespecified DCC process (dynamic capacitance compensation process) to thereby generate respective first and second compensation image data. Since the first compensation image data is generated based on the transposed image data and the transposition is configured to prevent over-compensation by the DCC process, over-compensation by the dynamic capacitance compensation process can be reduced or prevented.
Abstract:
An adaptive black clipping circuit in a display device includes a data corrector, a register, a pattern detector and a clipping selector. The data corrects input image data to generate corrected image data such that the corrected image data is equal to or greater than a black clipping value where the black clipping value corresponds to the input image data having a grayscale value of zero and the black clipping value is greater than zero. The register stores and provides configuration data. The pattern detector generates a pattern detection signal based on the input image data corresponding to a plurality of rows. The clipping selector selects one of the corrected image data and the configuration data in response to the pattern detection signal to provide output image data.

The method includes applying different gate delay values to each of the gate line groups to generate gate signals and outputting the gate signals to the gate lines. A first gate delay value is applied to at least one of the gate lines during a first frame and a second gate delay value different from the first delay value is applied to the at least one of the gate lines during a second frame.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display includes a timing controller and a liquid crystal panel. The timing controller sequentially receives first through third primitive image signals and sequentially outputs first through third corrected image signals. The liquid crystal panel displays an image based on the first through third corrected image signals. The timing controller generates a first converted image signal having a first gray level based on the first primitive image signal and stores the first converted image signal. The second primitive image signal has a second gray level and the timing controller generates a second converted image signal having a third gray level higher than the second gray level when the second gray level is lower than the first gray level. The timing controller generates the third corrected image signal using the second converted image signal and the third primitive image signal.
