Abstract:
A display device, including: a light source part having a plurality of light sources; a color sensing part having a dummy light source, and a color sensor sensing a color information of light emitted from the dummy light source; a light source driving part driving the light source part so that the light sources sequentially emit at least two colored lights with a predetermined period, and supplying power to the dummy light source; and a control part controlling the light source driving part depending on the sensed color information so that a color coordinate of the light sources has a predetermined reference value.
Abstract:
An apparatus for driving an LED is provided. The driving apparatus may have an LED unit including at least one LED, and a current controlling unit for controlling the magnitude of current flowing through the LED unit in response to a control signal. The LED driving apparatus may include a voltage detecting unit for detecting a voltage across the LED unit and a control signal blocking unit for comparing the voltage detected by the voltage detecting unit with a reference voltage. The control signal blocking part prevents the control signal from being applied to the current controlling unit when the detected voltage is lower than the reference voltage. With this configuration, the LED driving apparatus is capable of preventing a circuit from being damaged by overcurrent by cutting off a control signal when a determined number or more of LEDs are short-circuited or otherwise not operational.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a display apparatus and method supplying power to a light source where driving power is supplied to the light source, a main power path is provided through which the driving power is supplied from the power supply to the light source, a standby power path is branched from the main power path and returned to the power supply, a switching unit selects the driving power to be supplied from the power supply to either of the main power path or the standby power path, a standby power adjuster adjusts standby power applied to the standby power path and a controller controls the standby power adjuster to make the standby power be within an allowable range when the power is not applied to the main power path. Accordingly, a display apparatus and method which prevent a standby power from being continuously boosted up when a light source is turned off, thereby improving a display performance thereof are provided.
Abstract:
An electronic apparatus and method of controlling the electronic apparatus are provided, in which a power supply supplies a driving voltage to a system; and a controller sequentially outputs a control signal controlling a level of the driving voltage to the power supply until a level of a usage voltage corresponding to the driving voltage in the system becomes substantially identical to a predetermined reference level, if the level of the usage voltage is not substantially identical to the reference level. Accordingly, the electronic apparatus and control method thereof automatically adjusts a size of driving power supplied to respective parts of the electronic apparatus.

Abstract:
A mirror positioning structure for compensating skew and bow includes a mirror rotating member having a recess at one side to hold a mirror inserted therein and a rotation shaft protruding from an opposite side. A mirror position changing member has an opening through which the rotation shaft of the mirror rotating member passes such that the mirror rotating member is rotatably coupled with the mirror position changing member. A fixing member has a receiving space in one side so that the mirror position changing member moves rectilinearly within the receiving space.
Abstract:
An ion print head and image forming apparatus using the same includes at least one discharge cell array structure having microelectrodes to form an electrostatic latent image on an insulation layer of an electrostatic drum by selectively applying charged particles to the insulation layer. The at least one discharge cell is provided with a plurality of discharge elements to emit the charged particles, and a controller to control the plurality of discharge elements. Each of the plurality of discharge elements includes a base, a microelectrode disposed on the base to emit the charged particles toward the insulation layer, and a control electrode spaced apart from the base and having a hole therein through which the emitted charged particles pass and to control the emission of the charged particle from the microelectrode.
Abstract:
A digital multiplication apparatus and method adopting redundant binary arithmetic is provided. In this digital multiplication apparatus, when two numbers X and Y are multiplied using a radix-2k number system, a data converter data-converts the m-bit number Y into m/k digit data D (=Dm/k−1Dm/k−2 . . . Di . . . DiDo). A partial product calculator converts each of the digits Di of the number Y converted by the data converter into a combination of the coefficients of a fundamental multiple, multiplies the combination by the number X, and outputs the product as a redundant binary partial product. A redundant binary adder sums the partial products for all of the digits of the converted number Y. A redundant binary (RB)-normal binary (NB) converter converts the redundant binary sum into a normal binary number and outputs the converted normal binary sum as the product of the two numbers. Therefore, even when the radix extends, the burden upon hardware can be minimized. Also, many systems having multipliers serving as important components can be more simply constructed.
Abstract:
A programmable high speed frequency divider, in which flip-flops for forming a frequency divider which is capable of being programmed with a programmable dividing ratio is simplified increase the speed of the frequency divider. By simplifying the least significant bit flip-flops, including the flip-flop representing the least significant bit, among flip-flops forming a frequency divider, the speed of the counter in the frequency divider is increased and the frequency limit of an input clock which can be divided is raised.
