Abstract:
A driving method for a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel is provided. The method comprises applying corresponding overdriving data for source data to the LCD panel at the beginning of a frame; applying black data to the LCD panel before the end of the frame, wherein the polarities of the applied black data are the same as the pixel electrode driving polarity at the beginning of a next frame; and applying the source data to the LCD panel at a time between the application of the overdriving data and the application of the black data. The driving method of the invention eliminates the need for large TFTs by reducing the voltage change between the end of a previous frame and the beginning of a current frame, and also can perform pre-charging for the pixel electrodes without adding any other device.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for gray level dynamic switching. The method is applied to driving a display with at least one pixel. In the method of the present invention, a gray level sequence SG is provided. SG sequentially represents two or more desired gray levels Go(1), . . . , Go(T) of the pixel at consecutive time frames 1, . . . , T and comprises a current gray level Go(t) and a previous gray level Go(t−1) corresponding to time frames t and t−1, respectively. Then, the pixel is driven with an optimized driving force Vd(t) to change the pixel forward to a state corresponding to Go(t) according to Go(t) and Go(t−1). In the present invention, the optimized driving voltage Vd(t) is determined by equations of Vd(t)=Vo(t−1)+ODV and Vd(t)=a×Gd(m)3+b×Gd(m)2+c×Gd(m)+d, wherein the voltage ODV is a minimum voltage capable of obtaining one gray level transition in a determined response time.
Abstract:
A light source and a substrate are placed above and below a mask having a mask pattern thereon, respectively. Relative to the mask, the light source is moved in a first direction at a first speed, and the substrate is moved in a second direction at a second speed. The light of the light source transfers the mask pattern to a photoresist layer on the substrate, and forms a photoresist pattern thereof.

Abstract:
A liquid crystal display panel with reduced flicker comprises an active matrix substrate equipped with a plurality of thin film transistors. The active matrix substrate has an active area that is formed with a plurality of first signal lines and a plurality of second signal lines crossing each other. The active area includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix. There are outer-lead bonding areas around the active area. There are a plurality of pad areas within the outer-lead bonding areas. A plurality of second wires arranged in a fan-out configuration extend from the pad areas and stretch toward the active area. The second wires are connected to their respective first signal lines by their serpentine or zigzag routes resulting in various wire lengths. A frame-like lead overlaps the second wires, and a capacitor exists between each of the second wires and the closed frame-like lead. The induced capacitor and the resistance of the corresponding second wire together result in a compensation effect so as to uniform the time constants of the plurality of first signal lines.

A method for defining plural windows with different etching depths simultaneously is disclosed. The method includes steps of (a) forming a photoresist on a substrate having a multiple film structure thereon, (b) exposing a first region of the photoresist to a first exposure dose and a second region of the photoresist to a second exposure dose, (c) obtaining different remaining thickenesses of the photoresist on the first region and the second region by a development, and (d) etching the first region and the second region of the photoresist for forming the plural windows with different etching depths of the multiple film structure.
Abstract:
A simplified BCE process for forming a thin film transistor matrix for a liquid crystal display is disclosed. By using a backside exposure technique, the masking step for patterning an etch stopper layer can be omitted. By forming a pixel electrode layer before a data metal layer, a remaining portion of the data metal layer surrounding the pixel electrode can function as a black matrix after properly patterning and etching the data metal layer. The in-situ black matrix exempts from an additional step of providing a black matrix and solves the problem in alignment.
Abstract:
A simplified process for forming a thin film transistor matrix for a liquid crystal display is disclosed. By forming and patterning a conductive layer overlying a TFT unit, a data line, a first connection line between the TFT unit and the data line, and a second connection line between the TFT unit and a pixel electrode can be simultaneously formed in the forming and patterning step. Furthermore, after a passivation layer is applied to protect the TFT matrix, an isolation window area, a contact hole and a TAB window can be created in a single patterning step. Therefore, masking steps can be reduced so as to simplify the process. On the other hand, owing to the first connection line for connecting the TFT unit and the scan line is of the same material as the scan line, the resistivity of the connection line is inherently low. Therefore, a TFTLCD of a large area can be made according to this process.
