Abstract:
A display device including a plurality of sensing units, a plurality of first sensing signal lines, a first output unit, a first sensing output line, and a sensing signal processor. The sensing units are arranged in a matrix and generate a detection signal according to user contact. The first sensing signal lines transfer the detection signal of the sensing unit arranged in a first direction. The second sensing signal lines transfer the detection signal of the sensing units arranged in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction. The first output unit sequentially outputs the detection signals of the first sensing signal lines. The first sensing output line extends in the second direction for transferring the detection signal of the first output unit. The sensing signal processor determines whether contact is made or not by processing the detection signals of the first sensing signal lines and the second sensing signal lines. The non-display area of the liquid crystal panel assembly can be reduced by sequentially outputting the sensing data signals of the row and column sensing signal lines through the small amount of wiring. Therefore, an IC can be reduced in size.
Abstract:
A gate driving circuit includes a shift resister having stages cascade-connected to one another. Each stage includes a pull-up part, a first pull-up driving part, a first pull-down part and a first ripple prevention part. The pull-up part outputs a high value of a first clock signal to a first output terminal. The first pull-up driving part applies a low value to a control electrode of the pull-up part to turn off the pull-up part. The first pull-down part applies the low value to the signal outputted to the first output terminal. The first ripple prevention part applies the low value of the first input signal to the control electrode of the pull-up part to turn off the pull-up part, and prevents ripple from occurring at the control electrode of the pull-up part. Thus, an abnormal gate-on signal is prevented, to reduce driving malfunction of a display apparatus.

The array substrate includes a plurality of data lines, a plurality of gate lines, a plurality of first signal lines, a plurality of second signal lines and a plurality of pixels. Each of the pixels includes a pixel electrode and a common electrode insulated from the pixel electrode. The opposite substrate includes a plurality of connecting members.

Abstract:
An array panel for a digital X-ray detector including a gate driver (150) is disclosed. A switching element (TFT) is formed in a pixel region defined by gate (110) and data lines (120). A photoelectric cell (130) generates electrons in response to the light supplied from outward. A pixel electrode (260) is formed in the pixel region, and gathers electrons generated from the photoelectric cell (130). A storage capacitor (C) is connected to the drain electrode (225) and stores the electrons gathered in the pixel electrode (260). A gate driver (150) is electrically connected to an end portion of the gate line (110), and provides a scan signal for driving the switching element (TFT). A data pad (140) is electrically connected to an end portion of the data line (120). The electrons stored in the storage capacitor (C) move to the data pad (140) as the switching element (TFT) is turned on. Therefore, the manufacturing cost is reduced, and the manufacturing process is simplified.
