Abstract:
A display method for driving a color-sequential display of an electronic device is provided. When the electronic device is not at low power mode, a first image is displayed first by using a second color data and a first color data of the first image sequentially to drive the display. Next, a second image is displayed by using a second color data and a third color data of the second image sequentially to drive the display. When the electronic device is at low power mode, the respective luminance of the first and the second images are obtained. Then, the respective luminance of the first image and the second image are sequentially used to drive the display.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display module and its scanning circuit board therein. There are a first scanning circuit and a second scanning circuit located at both ends of each of the scanning lines in the LCD panel. While scanning, both the first scanning circuit and the second scanning circuit drive the same scanning line simultaneously, so as to equivalently reduce the delay effect caused by the RC time constant. The first scan driving circuit and the second scan driving circuit could be placed on different scanning circuit boards with the same layout. The scanning circuit board has two connectors at the both ends and a scanning interface at a side. The scanning circuit board could be used at both sides of the LCD panel by the rotation of 180°.
Abstract:
A method of reducing flickering and inhomogeneous brightness in an LCD. The method serially connects each scan line connecting a plurality of pixels in a row with a resistor to form a scan line circuit. The resistor is connected between the first pixel of the scan line and the voltage input terminal of the scan line, so that the gate voltage entering the TFT in the first pixel deforms. The voltage of the TFT decreases when it is turned off, minimizing screen flickering and inhomogeneous brightness due to the capacitor charge coupling effect between the first pixel and the last pixel on a scan line.

Abstract:
A method of forming a TFT-LCD with self-aligned transparent conducting layer over a substrate comprises the following steps. Initially, a first metal layer is formed on the substrate. Then, an insulating layer is formed on the substrate. A silicon layer is formed above the insulator layer. A doped silicon layer is formed above the silicon layer. A second metal layer is formed on the doped silicon layer, the silicon layer, and the substrate to define S/D structures and data lines. Then, a passivation layer is formed on the second metal layer, the silicon layer, and the insulating layer. A transparent conducting layer is formed on the passivation layer. Then, a negative photoresist is formed on the transparent conducting layer. A front-side exposure step is performed by using a first photomask. Additionally, a back-side exposure step is performed by using the first metal layer and the second metal layer as a mask. After removing the unexposed negative photoresist, an etching step is performed to define the transparent conducting layer.
Abstract:
An additional high quality insulating layer is grown over the substrate after the formation of the gate electrode of a thin film transistor (TFT). The growth temperature of the insulating layer can be higher than conventional method and the insulating layer is more free of pin-holes. After the insulating layer in the thin oxide region of the TFT is etched away, conventional fabrication processes are followed. The dielectric of the thin film oxide region is the same as that of the conventional TFT; but the dielectric in the vicinity of the thin oxide region, the crossovers of the data lines and the scan lines, and the gate dielectric layer of the TFT are now composed of the high quality insulating layer. The TFT structure can improve the yield of fabrication by confining the channel region in the shadow of the gate electrode to reduce the leakage photo-current, and by reducing the steps at cross-overs steps and interconnections to avoid open-circuit.
Abstract:
In an active matrix liquid crystal display, an extra insulating layer is deposited over the active region of the thin film transistor and the transparent electrode of the picture element. The interconnection between the source electrode of the TFT and the transparent electrode lies over the extra insulating layer. The edge between the a-Si and S/D electrode contact is passivated by the extra insulating to avoid direct contact of the S/D metal electrode with the undoped amorphous silicon channel. Contacts to the TFT source and drain electrodes are made through a heavily-doped amorphous silicon to avoid direct contact of aluminum with undoped amorphous silicon channel, which can eliminate dark leakage current with negative gate bias. The metal contact to the transparent electrode is made via a contact hole in the extra insulating layer to avoid the etching solution of aluminum interconnection from attacking the transparent electrode. The extra insulating layer also prevents short circuit between the signal lines and the transparent electrodes.
Abstract:
A thin film switching array includes a plurality of switching elements arranged in the shape of an array on a substrate. Each switching element includes a thin film transistor and a compensation capacitor. One electrode of the compensation capacitor is formed by the same mask layer as the gate of the thin film transistor, and the other electrode of the compensation capacitor is common to the source electrode of the thin film transistor. The butting error due to multiple exposures of the number of blocks to compose a large area active matrix liquid crystal display, known as the block division effect, can be eliminated by laying out the compensation capacitor with area complementary to that of the stray capacitance such that the summation of the two capacitances remain constant. With constant capacitance, the feedthrough transient from the gate sigate to the liquid crystal display element becomes uniform, and one common compensating voltage can be used to offset the transient effect.
