Abstract:
A portable terminal is provided. The portable terminal includes a display panel, a case member provided to surround at least both sides of the display panel, and a speaker hole formed in the case member and opened to at least one side of the display panel. The portable terminal includes the speaker hole in at least a side of the display panel by changing only a structure of the case member, such that the volume and quality of sound output from the speaker device can be fully delivered to a user who uses the terminal while viewing the display panel.
Abstract:
A signal generating circuit for a liquid crystal display (LCD) includes circuitry adapted to receive a gate clock signal and an output enable signal. The gate clock signal is a combination of a gate-on signal and a gate-off signal and the output enable signal is operable to adjust the width of the gate-on signal. The signal generating circuit adjusts the output enable signal such that a falling edge of the output enable signal overlaps a rising edge of the gate clock signal and thereby delays the gate clock signal for a selected amount of time.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a display and a method of driving the display. The display includes a display panel on which a plurality of data lines are formed, a data driver for supplying data voltages generated by modulating input image data to the respective data lines. The data driver includes a precharging unit for selecting a specific precharge voltage from a plurality of precharge voltages applied to the data driver depending on grayscale sections of the input image data, and for precharging the selected precharge voltages to the respective data lines.A predetermined voltage is precharged according to a grayscale section of image data and then applied to a pixel, whereby voltage rising time and voltage falling time when charging the pixel can be shortened. Therefore, even though the charge time of the pixel is shortened and bias current of the data driver is thus reduced, it is possible to obtain high driving performance. In addition, since the bias current of the data driver is reduced, overall current consumption is reduced and heat generation can also be suppressed.

In a method of driving a display panel, a voltage of a first polarity with respect to a reference voltage is outputted to an n-th data line and an (n+1)-th data line (‘n’ is a natural number), respectively, and a voltage of a second polarity with respect to the reference voltage is outputted to an (n+2)-th data line and an (n+3)-th data line, respectively, during an N-th frame (‘N’ is a natural number). Then, a voltage of the first polarity is outputted to the n-th data line, a voltage of the second polarity is outputted to the (n+1)-th data line and the (n+2)-th data line, respectively, and a voltage of the first polarity is outputted to the (n+3)-th data line, during an (N+1)-th frame.
Abstract:
A connector for receiving a cylindrical plug includes a body defining a plug aperture and a cavity for receiving the cylindrical plug. A plurality of electrical contacts in communication with the cavity make electrical connections with the cylindrical plug and retain the cylindrical plug. A microphone is coupled to the body such that the plug aperture and the cavity provide an acoustic path to the microphone. The microphone may be at an end of the connector opposite the plug aperture or on a side of the connector adjacent the plug aperture. The connector allows a microphone to be added to a device, such as a mobile telephone, without the need for an additional external aperture. The microphone in the connector may operate with a second microphone and processing electronics in the device to provide audio processing functions such as noise cancellation or audio beamforming.
