A display image enhancement apparatus and method are disclosed for use in generating additional pixel data from input image data, where a window of input pixel data is used to generate data for an additional pixel to be placed substantially in the center of the window. The display image enhancement apparatus includes memory elements that is capable of receiving a chain of input pixel data and storing at least the window of input pixel data, where the window of input pixels includes a plurality of pixel pairs each of which respectively represents an angle of correlation. The display image enhancement apparatus also includes instant angle detection circuitry capable of receiving the input pixel data stored in the memory elements and determining an instant angle having the highest correlation based on differential values of at least some of the pixel pairs, where a differential value is the difference between the values of pixels in a pixel pair. The display image enhancement apparatus further includes substantial angle detection circuitry capable of determining a substantial angle having the highest correlation based on filtered differential values of at least some of the pixel pairs. Angle confirmation circuitry is provided to determine an interpolation angle based on the instant angle and the substantial angle. The display image enhancement apparatus employs an interpolator that is capable of determining the value of the additional pixel based on the values of pixels in the pixel pair corresponding to the interpolation angle.

Disclosed herein is an apparatus for driving a plasma display panel in which a gray scale inversion phenomenon can be prevented. According to the present invention, the apparatus for driving the PDP includes an error diffusion unit for diffusing error of data received from an inverse gamma correction unit, a gray scale inversion check unit connected to the inverse gamma correction unit, for checking whether a gray scale value of the data received from the inverse gamma correction unit is a gray scale value where a gray scale inversion phenomenon is generated, and generating a 1-bit control signal according to the check result, an adder disposed between the error diffusion unit and the gray scale inversion check unit, for adding the 1-bit control signal to lower bits of the data received from the error diffusion unit, and a dithering unit for performing dithering by using the lower bits received from the adder. Therefore, when dithering is performed on data where gray scale inversion is generated, a gray scale value can be improved by adding 1 to lowest bits of the data. It is thus possible to prevent the gray scale inversion phenomenon.

The present invention relates to a method of programming a flash memory device. According to the present invention, after a program operation is completed, a program verify operation is repeatedly performed, wherein a threshold voltage of a programmed memory cell is also detected. If there are memory cells whose threshold voltage becomes low as a result of the detection, the program operation is again performed on a corresponding memory cell. It is thus possible to obtain a uniform distribution characteristic of a threshold voltage. Furthermore, a program verify operation is performed with a compare voltage being set higher than a target voltage initially so that a threshold voltage of a memory cell is sufficiently higher than the target voltage. The program verify operation is again performed while lowering the compare voltage according to the repetition number. It is thus possible to prevent normally programmed cells from being again excessively programmed.

Provided is a digital circuit for a passive RFID tag. The digital circuit for the passive RFID tag includes a construction that is divided into blocks, which receive a command, analyze and execute the command, and generate a reply signal respectively, according to the flow of data. Thus, the digital circuit transmits a clock signal to each of the blocks at a rate optimized for the block such that the blocks sequentially operate without any additional controller. The digital circuit for the RFID tag is constructed such that the respective blocks operate at different points in time. This precludes any useless operation of hardware, thus reducing the entire power dissipation.
