A display device includes a display panel including a plurality of sub-pixels, a grayscale conversion part configured to generate a data signal displaying different grayscales to the sub-pixels at a predetermined time interval, and a data driver configured to convert the data signal into a data voltage and to output the data voltage to the display panel.

Display apparatus and driving method

An image processing part includes an edge enhancing part, an artifact detecting part and a compensating part. The edge enhancing part emphasizes an edge portion of an object in input image data. The artifact detecting part detects a corner outlier artifact at an area adjacent to the edge portion of the object. The compensating part compensates the corner outlier artifact. Accordingly, the edge portion of the object may be enhanced and the corner outlier artifact is decreased so that the display quality may be improved.

Image processing part, display apparatus having the same and method of processing an image using the same

A display apparatus includes a display panel including a first pixel, a common voltage generator and a timing controller. The common voltage generator generates a reference common voltage, and provides the reference common voltage to the first pixel. The timing controller determines a dithering scheme for the first pixel based on first common voltage information, and generates first output pixel data by applying a dithering function to first input pixel data based on the dithering scheme for the first pixel. The first common voltage information indicates whether the reference common voltage is substantially equal to an optimal common voltage of the first pixel. A first data voltage provided to the first pixel is generated based on the first output pixel data. A polarity of the first data voltage is reversed with respect to the reference common voltage for each predetermined duration. A phase of the first data voltage is symmetric or asymmetric with respect to the reference common voltage depending on the dithering scheme for the first pixel.

Display apparatus and method of operation

According to an embodiment, the display device includes a touch controller, an image processor, and a display driver. The touch controller is configured to output touch event information corresponding to a touch signal received from a touch panel. The image processor is configured to determine whether a host is in a sleep mode or a normal mode, and to output mixed image data obtained by overlapping an image displayed on a display panel and a marker corresponding to the touch event information while a host is in the sleep mode. The display driver is configured to output pixel driving signals corresponding to the mixed image data to the display panel. The touch controller or image processor is further configured to determine whether a touch input of a user to the touch panel meets a predetermined condition, and if the predetermined condition is met, output a wake-up signal to the host.

Display device includes timing controller, display panel, data driver, and scan driver. The timing controller includes an authentication processing unit configured to generate an authentication result based on an authentication control signal. The timing controller converts an input image data signal to data driver control signal and scan driver control signal when the authentication result represents success. The timing controller deactivates the data driver control signal and the scan driver control signal when the authentication result represents fail. The display panel includes plurality of pixels. The data driver generates plurality of data signals based on the data driver control signal and provides the data signals to the pixels through plurality of data signal lines. The scan driver generates plurality of scan signals based on the scan driver control signal and provides the scan signals to the pixels through plurality of scan signals lines.

Display apparatus and liquid crystal display apparatus

A luminance adjustment part includes a luminance determination part and a data compensation part. The luminance determination part may determine a control value for controlling luminance of a backlight assembly using linear image data that has a linear luminance profile and is generated by performing a de-gamma process on a first copy of input image data that has a nonlinear luminance profile. The compensation part may compensate pixel data that corresponds to pixels of a display panel using the control value, the pixel data being generated using a second copy of the input image data. Thus, color distortion of a displayed image as perceived by a viewer may be minimized when power consumption of a display apparatus that includes the display panel is decreased.
