20110007067 | ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DISPLAY AND DRIVING METHOD THEREOF - An organic light emitting display that can stably extract information from pixels. A driving method of the organic light emitting display includes: generating first digital values by sensing deterioration information of organic light emitting diodes respectively included in a plurality of pixels coupled to a data line during two or more continuous frame periods; storing the first digital values in a memory; generating second digital values by sensing threshold voltage and mobility information of driving transistors respectively included in the pixels during two or more continuous frame periods; storing the second digital values in the memory; converting input data into calibration data according to the information stored in the memory to display an image having a uniform brightness, irrespective of the deterioration information of the organic light emitting diodes and the threshold voltage and mobility information of the driving transistors; and supplying a data signal in accordance with the calibration data to the data line. | 2011-01-13 |
20110007068 | DISPLAY PANEL DRIVER, DISPLAY APPARATUS, AND DISPLAY PANEL DRIVING METHOD - A display panel driver includes: a latch block configured to latch a drive data signal corresponding to an image in response to assertion of a latch enable signal supplied externally and output the latched drive data signal as a first latch data signal; an output control block configured to delay the first latch data signal in response to the latch enable signal to generate a second latch data signal; and a drive circuit section configured to drive a wiring provided in a display panel in response to the second latch data signal. One of rising timing and falling timing of the second latch data signal outputted from the output control block is delayed from the other timing. The one timing is determined in response to negation of the latch enable signal, and the other timing is determined regardless of the negation of the latch enable signal. | 2011-01-13 |
20110007069 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PRESENTING CONTENT - A method for presenting content, including arranging two-dimensional content in a three-dimensional virtual scene, wherein the three-dimensional virtual scene represents a three-dimensional space and wherein the two-dimensional content represents an object in the three-dimensional space; changing a view of the three-dimensional virtual scene in response to a user input; and changing the arrangement of the two-dimensional content according to the view change. In an embodiment, first two-dimensional content represents a first face of the object and second two-dimensional content represents a second face of the object. When the view changes, the second two-dimensional content is displayed in place of the first two-dimensional content based on the changed view. In an embodiment, the view of the three-dimensional virtual scene is determined by the location and orientation of a camera and two-dimensional content is arranged to maintain a constant photographing angle between the two-dimensional content and the camera when the camera moves. | 2011-01-13 |
