Abstract:
A pixel circuitry of a display device and a display method thereof are provided herein. The pixel circuitry includes a scan switch, a storage element, and a sampling circuitry. The scan switch has a first terminal coupled to a data line and configured to be asserted according to a scan signal. The storage element is coupled to a second terminal of the scan switch and configured to store a pixel voltage from the data line. The sampling circuitry is configured to sample the stored pixel voltage of the storage element and to obtain a reference voltage for the display device according to the sampled signal. By sampling the stored pixel voltage of the storage element, whether the pixel voltages with different polarities are symmetry can be detected for avoiding flickers.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a system and method of adaptively controlling a light-emitting diode (LED) backlight. A content analyzer analyzes luminance of image data to be displayed on a display panel. An LED current controller controls illumination of the LED backlight via an LED driver according to an analysis result of the content analyzer. The LED current controller over-drives the LED backlight such that a drive current flowing in the LED backlight is above a normal current, when the analysis result of the content analyzer indicates that the luminance of image data is above a predetermined value.

An image enhancement apparatus is provided. The image enhancement apparatus includes a global tone mapping curve generator, a local tone mapping curve generator, a reference gamma voltage generator and an image generator. The global tone mapping curve generator generates a global tone mapping curve for an input image according to global characteristic(s) of the input image.

Abstract:
A driving method and a transreflective display apparatus are provided herein. In the driving method, a plurality of voltage-to-transparency curves are provided. An ambient light intensity of the display apparatus is detected for determining a display mode, wherein the display mode is either a transmissive mode or a reflective mode. Next, one of the voltage-to-transparency curves is selected according to the display mode and the ambient light intensity for driving the display apparatus. Therefore, by referring a proper voltage-to-transparency curve to drive the display apparatus, the display quality of the display apparatus can be enhanced.
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 thin film transistor structure and fabrication method for active matrix liquid crystal display. The structure is a self-aligned coplanar/staggered one. The feature of this structure is the self-aligned source and drain electrode to minimize the stray capacitance between the gate and the drain and the source. The source and drain electrodes are obtained by exposing negative photoresist on top of the transistor by incident light from the back of the transparent substrate using the gate electrode as a mask.
Abstract:
An inverted staggered (bottom gate) thin film transistor (TFT) for active matrix liquid crystal display is processed with three masks. The first mask is used to pattern a metal film on a glass substrate as the gate of the TFT, the scan line of the TFT array, and a portion of the data line of the TFT array. The second mask is used to form a TFT mesa with a gate dielectric layer, an a-Si layer as channel, and a heavily-doped n+s-Si layer for contacting the source and the drain of the TFT. A third mask is used to pattern the transparent conductive indium-tin oxide film as the pixel electrode, the source/drain electrodes of the TFT, and the interconnections of the data line.
