Apparatus and method for driving small-sized LCD device
First Claim
1. An apparatus for driving a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel of an LCD device, the apparatus comprising:
- a compensation unit, which compensates for first image data with reference to a predetermined lookup table (LUT) in response to a first input control signal in a first mode, the first image data being consecutively input to the apparatus;
a storage unit, which updates and then stores the first image data and second image data and outputs one of the first image data or the second image data in response to a second input control signal, the second image data being consecutively input to the apparatus;
an output unit, which outputs one of the first image data, the second image data, or the compensated first image data in response to an output control signal; and
a control unit, which generates the first input control signal, the second input control signal, and the output control signal in response to a predetermined control signal.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for driving a small-sized or low-powered liquid crystal display (LCD) device are provided to reduce the amount of energy consumed in driving the LCD device while displaying a high-quality moving image on a small-sized LCD panel without distortion such as tailing or blurriness, where the apparatus includes a compensation unit, which compensates for first image data with reference to a predetermined lookup table (LUT) in response to a first input control signal in a first mode, the first image data being consecutively input to the apparatus; a storage unit, which updates and then stores the first image data and second image data and outputs one of the first image data or the second image data in response to a second input control signal, the second image data being consecutively input to the apparatus; an output unit, which outputs one of the first image data, the second image data, or the compensated first image data in response to an output control signal; and a control unit, which generates the first input control signal, the second input control signal, and the output control signal in response to a predetermined control signal.

19. A method of driving a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel of a LCD device, the method comprising:
-
storing first image data and second image data, which are consecutively input;
compensating for the first image data with reference to a predetermined lookup table (LUT) based on a result of comparing the current frame of the first image data with a previous frame of the first image data and delaying and then outputting the compensated first image data in a first mode;
outputting the stored first image data in a second mode;
outputting the stored second image data in a third mode; and
delaying and then outputting the first image data in a fourth mode. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23)
