Abstract:
A wide variety of different alignment polar angles can be created in the alignment layers of a liquid crystal display with just a small number of UV exposure steps by using one or a combination of overlappable UV masks, where the one or more combinations of overlappable UV masks simultaneously define a maximal transmission region, an intermediate transmission region and a nontransmitting (blocking) region. UV rays are irradiated through masks in different irradiation directions while the mask or masks are disposed in different orientations.
Abstract:
A display apparatus includes a display panel that includes a plurality of pixels and a panel driver. The panel driver receives original image signals corresponding to successive frames which are displayed in a predetermined number within a predetermined period of time, forms an interpolation image signal on the basis of original image signals corresponding to two successive frames, and forms a non-image signal, and applies the original image signal, the interpolation image signal, and the non-image signal to the respective pixels during a display period.
Abstract:
In a display apparatus and a method of driving the same, an active period during which one pixel is turned on is divided into a red sub frame, a green sub frame, a blue sub frame, and a white sub frame. A controller compares a gray scale of a fourth image data corresponding to the white sub frame with a reference gray scale and compensates a first image data, a second image data, and a third image data corresponding to the red, green, and blue sub frames, respectively, in accordance with the comparison result.
