AIn this paper, a new desist of LDI controller IC for general purpose is proposed for driving the LDI(LCD Driver Interface) controller in $4{\sim}9$ inches sized portable small-medium TFT-LCD(Thin Film Transistor addressed -Liquid Crystal Display) panel module. The designed LDI controller was verified on the FPGA(Reld Programmable Gate Array) test board, and was made the interactive operation with the commercial TFT-LCD panel successfully. The purpose of design is that it is standardized the LDI controller's operation by one LDI controller for driving all TFT-LCD panel without classifying the panel vendor, and size. The main advantage for new general-purpose LDI controller is the usage for the desist of all panel's SoG(System on a Glass) module because of the design for the standard operation. And in the previous method, it used each LDI controller for every LCD vendor, and panel size, but because a new one can drive all portable small-medium sized panel, it results in reduction of LDI controller supply price, and manufacturing cost of AV(Audio Video) board and panel. In the near future, the development of SoG IC(Integrated Circuit) for manufacturing more excellent functional TFT-LCD panel module is necessary. As a result of this research, the TFT-LCD panel can make more small size, and light weight, and it results in an upturn of domestic company's share in the world market. With the suggested theory in this paper, it expects to be made use of a basic data for developing and manufacturing for the SoG chip of TFT-LCD panel module.

In this paper, we have designed an LCD controller based on AMBA. Normally display systems using the LCD are adopted independent bus architecture for high speed data access. Proposed LCD controller complies with AMBA data format and has an image scaler that executes interpolation for full screen display. This image scaler employs FOI for horizontal scaling and H-Shape pseudomedian filter for vertical scaling. It has been designed with VHDL and verified on prototype board using Xilinx FPGA and LCD panel.

This paper describes hardware design and FPGA verification of TFT-LCD controller used in mobile devices widely. TFT-LCD controller outputs pixel's color information red, green, blue and Hsync, Vsync synchronization signals. We used verilog-hdl to describe TFT-LCD controller and simulated it using modelsim software and verified it's exact operation on Xilinx FPGA. Framebuffer made up Block RAM form in FPGA and TFT-LCD displayed image file.

We propose a universal image processor for a-Si TFT LCD of UXGA class that can display the full screen on the LCD panel with low resolution of video sources such as NTSC, VGA, SVGA, XGA, and SXGA by using the proposed interpolation filter. In addition, we propose a real-time contrast controller for image improvement of multi-gray scale image. The operation of the proposed methods has been verified using Synopsys VHDL and computer simulation. Results show that the proposed methods might be suitable for a UXGA LCD controller for real-time image improvement.

In this paper. we Propose an UXGA class LCD controller for controlling the LCD panel. The proposed controller supports the full screen display using GCD between input and output resolutions. The proposed LCD controller includes the motion detector based on median filter which can detect the motion of input image for the enhancement of a image quality. Also, it divides the motion into 3 stages such as still, semi-moving and moving, and uses the different interpolation algorithms according to the degree of motion. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed interpolation algorithm, we use PSNR method and compare the conventional algorithm by using computer simulation. For the proposed motion detection algorithm, we use a visual verification and the estimation of pixel changes. The proposed LCD controller has been designed and verified by VHDL. It has been synthesized using Xilinx VirtexE FPGA.

As the size of the FPD(Flat Panel Display) becomes larger and its resolution is higher, it is required a new controller to support these specifications. In this paper, we have designed a universal controller of a-Si TFT LCD which will dominate the future market. We propose a new type of a LCD controller, which is constructed by four-line parallel-bus architecture and can enlarge low resolution images to SXGA class images by using a new interpolation algorithm. The proposed LCD controller has been simulated and synthesized by using Synopsys VHDL.

The bus architecture consists of a master initiating a communication transaction, a slave responding to the transaction, a arbiter selecting a master, a bridge connecting buses and so on. Recently this is more complicated and developed toward multi-bus architecture. In this paper, several cases of multi-shared bus architecture are discussed and in order to decrease the bridge latency, the architecture introducing a memory selector is proposed. Finally, a LCD controller using DMA master is integrated in this bus architecture that is verified due to RTL simulation and FPGA board test. DMA, LCD line buffer and SDRAM controller are normally operated in the timing simulation using ModelSim tool, and the LCD image is confirmed in the real FPGA board containing LCD panel.

An electrostatic discharge (ESD) or a noise supplied from the outside has an effect on communication between the timing controller (TCON) and the memory element (EEPROM) through the interface between the timing controller and the memory element in liquid crystal displays (LCD). Therefore, we must apply ESD protection methods to LCD operating circuits for a normal operation. Our ESD protection circuit is to prevent from bi-directional communication errors between TCON and EEPROM due to an electrostatic discharge (ESD).

This paper proposes an efficient data compression for the conventional method of reducing EMI in a 10 bit LCD timing controller (TCON). In addition, we develop a new method to reduce EMI in a LCD TCON through repeated data on adjacent blocks. The novel technique reduced EMI by 10 dB for a 52" FHD 10it LCD TV.
