Abstract:
A liquid crystal display having a plurality of pixels and blocks of shift registers that are connected to one another for temporarily storing data signals and from which the data signal outputs are sequentially applied to drive the pixels. Each of the shift registers receives a shift start signal and at least one of first and second clock signals, of which phases are opposite to each other, and a high period of the shift start signal corresponds to two cycles of the respective clock signals so that each pixel is pre-charged from the data signal from previous block of registers before receiving the data signal for the current block thereby preventing a boundary between blocks from being visually recognized.
Abstract:
A display apparatus is implemented using an SOG or SOP technology that can integrate a plurality of circuit elements on a single substrate. The display apparatus does not include a separate frame memory. Instead of the separate frame memory, the display apparatus uses a predetermined region of a memory provided in a host by allocating it as a frame memory region. Since an image signal transmitted/received between the display apparatus and the host has a coded format, a chip size of the display apparatus and an information processing system with the same is reduced and an amount of transmission data is also reduced.

Disclosed herein is a method of processing data of an optical mouse. The method includes the steps of calculating a motion vector of the optical mouse through processing of digitally converted image pixel data in an Image Signal Processor (ISP) by sequentially overlapping a reference image of an n−1 th frame to a present image of an nth frame and determining a moving direction of the optical mouse using approximately equal parts in the reference and present images; and transmitting the calculated motion vector to a personal computer through an interface; wherein the ISP includes an X axis navigation engine for processing data on a reference image for the motion of an X axis direction among the processed image pixel data and a Y axis navigation engine for processing data on a reference image for the motion of a Y axis direction among the processed image pixel data.
Abstract:
An optical navigation sensor device and an image processing method using a 2-dimensional sequential image process are disclosed. A pre-processor stores digital voltage values of respective pixels of an image received from a pre-processor in a memory, performs a pre-process for the digital voltage values of respective pixels sequentially received from the memory, thereby producing a pre-processed current image, and extracts a pre-processed current central image from the pre-processed current image. A motion coordinate calculator stores the pre-processed current central image as X/Y-axis reference image candidates, determines replacement of X/Y-axis reference images for calculation of motion coordinate values of a next pre-processed image in accordance with X/Y-axis motions of the pre-processed current image, and compares the pre-processed current image with the X/Y-axis reference images, thereby calculating X/Y-axis motion coordinate values of the pre-processed current image.
