20100265242	POWER CIRCUIT AND DISPLAY DEVICE USING SAME - A power circuit includes a coil that charges an electric charge of an input voltage, a switch device that controls charging and discharging of the coil, a diode that rectifies the flow of the electric charge from the coil, a capacitor that stabilizes an output voltage when the switch device is turned on, and a driving circuit that controls ON and OFF states of the switch device.

20100295872	DISPLAY DRIVER AND DRIVING METHOD - The present invention is directed to improve efficiency in use of a memory for storing display data which is used for an overdrive process. A display driver for driving a display device compresses image display data, stores the compressed data into a memory, and generates a preceding frame by decompressing the data read from the memory. A setting unit divides a display screen of the display device into, for example, a first region as a center part and a second region as a peripheral part. An overdrive computing unit generates overdrive display data in response to a present-time frame and the preceding frame, compresses the image display data in the first and second regions at first and second data compression ratios of small and large values, respectively, and stores the compressed data into the memory. By saving the space of the memory, the picture quality in the first region is improved.	11-25-2010
20100302287	DISPLAY DRIVING DEVICE AND DISPLAY DRIVING SYSTEM - Overdrive over multiple frames is made more efficient in a display device drive circuit that drives a display device so slow in response that target brightness is not reached even after overdrive is performed for one frame. When a display gray scale is changed from a first gray scale to a second gray scale, a display driving device varies overdrive driving voltage according to the number of frames since the point of time of the change. This makes it possible to obtain high-speed luminance response. When the number of frames for which an identical image is continuously displayed is known beforehand, the number of frames is set in a display pattern setting register and a function of detecting timing of a change of images is provided. This enables efficient overdrive. At low temperature, further, a display image is updated once for several frames according to temperature information. This enhances the visibility of the image.	12-02-2010
20110206290	DISPLAY DRIVING CIRCUIT - The display driving circuit includes: an OD (OverDrive) calculation circuit operable to generate an OD driving signal for improving the response characteristic of a display device according to display image data; a drive-output circuit operable to supply an OD driving signal to the display device; and a compression circuit operable to store compressed display data in a memory. The compression circuit includes a DCT calculation module operable to execute DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) of display image data, and an entropy coding module operable to execute variable length entropy coding of DCT conversion display data. Preferably, the display driving circuit further includes a decompression circuit operable to supply an OD calculation circuit with display data resulting from decompression of compressed display data read out the memory.	08-25-2011
20110242112	Display device and driving circuit thereof - The display driver includes: a display data compression circuit; a recording circuit; a display data decompression circuit; and an output circuit. Further, the display driver is provided with a compressibility setting circuit. The display data compression circuit has the function of compressing the display data according to a compressibility set by the compressibility setting circuit. With the display driver arranged like this, the power consumption can be reduced by increasing the compressibility for a displayed image such that the image quality is not noticeably deteriorated even with the compressibility increased. Further, for the displayed image such that the image quality is noticeably deteriorated with the compressibility increased, a sufficient image quality after data decompression can be secured by lowering the compressibility.	10-06-2011
20110242120	DISPLAY APPARATUS AND DRIVIING DEVICE FOR DISPLAYING - The display unit can reduce the electric power consumed by the process of calculating an adjustment coefficient for display data, as typified by gradient control, and it can be readily adapted even to a display panel with a higher resolution. The display unit includes: a plurality of driving units arrayed in parallel and each operable to output a drive signal to a display panel; a plurality of first calculation units, and a plurality of display RAMs, each paired with one first calculation unit, the pairs of the first calculation units and display RAMs laid out along a direction of the parallel array of the driving units; and a second calculation unit which distributes display data supplied from outside to the display RAMs, receives display data from the display RAMs in parallel to analyze a histogram of tone distribution of pixel data corresponding to one screen, and calculates the adjustment coefficient based on a result of the analysis. In the display unit, the adjustment coefficient thus calculated is sent back to the first calculation units. The first calculation unit performs a calculation using display data read from the corresponding display RAM and the adjustment coefficient thereby to create drive data for the display panel.	10-06-2011
20110242139	DISPLAY DRIVER - The display driver achieves the balance between the image quality and power-cutting ratio by controlling the backlight dimming ratio to keep the image quality after backlight dimming constant. The display driver uses e.g. MSE (Mean Square Error) as an index of image quality. The reference gradation control unit controls the data decompression and backlight dimming ratios, thereby to keep the image quality after backlight dimming constant. Assuming display data decompression, and backlight dimming, the error calculating unit calculates a decrease of luminance for an input displayed image as MSE based on the decompression and dimming ratios of a preceding frame, in advance. In the case of MSE over a predetermined value, the decompression unit and light-adjustment control unit decrease the decompression and dimming ratios to below those of the preceding frame, respectively. In the case of MSE below the value, the ratios are lowered to below those of the preceding frame.	10-06-2011
