Abstract: A display apparatus and a control device and a control method thereof are provided. A controller of the control device controls a gate driver of a display panel. The controller selects a first selected frame and a second selected frame in each frame group, wherein an adjacent position between a first partition and a second partition of the display panel corresponds to a corresponding time point in each frame of the first selected frame and the second selected frame. The controller transmits a reset pulse to the first gate driver at the corresponding time point in the second selected frame to clear a scanning pulse in the gate driver, and cancels the reset pulse at the corresponding time point in the first selected frame. Thus, the control device enables different display partitions of the display panel to have different frame rates or refresh rates.

Abstract: An image readout device includes comparator circuits. Each comparator circuit includes an amplifier, an input capacitor, an auto-zero switch, and a control capacitor. The amplifier compares a pixel signal to a reference signal to generate a comparison signal. The input capacitor receives the pixel signal or the reference signal. The auto-zero switch couples or decouples the input node and the output node of the amplifier. The control capacitor receives a respective control signal. Alternatively, the control capacitor can be replaced with a control switch. The control switch is coupled to the auto-zero switch in parallel. The control switch and the control capacitor can be omitted. Instead, the voltage level of the reference signal is adjusted to change the transition time points of the comparison signal.

Abstract: A driving system includes a plurality of driver circuits each having a first terminal and a second terminal. The first terminal of each of the driver circuits is commonly coupled to a first transmission bus, and the second terminal of each of the driver circuits is commonly coupled to a second transmission bus. The driver circuits include a first driver circuit and a second driver circuit. The first driver circuit outputs a first synchronization signal to the first transmission bus through the first terminal. The second driver circuit outputs a second synchronization signal to the second transmission bus through the second terminal at the time when receiving the first synchronization signal from the first transmission bus. Wherein, a compensation time corresponding to the second driver circuit is calculated according to an output time point of the first synchronization signal and a reception time point of the second synchronization signal.
