  • In this paper, we present the design of a source driver of QVGA scale TFT-LCD driver IC which uses a mixed driving method and performs $\gamma$-correction to improve image. The source driver with 240 RGB ${\times}$ 320 dots resolution drives a TFT-LCD panel through 720 channels and implements 262k colors using 18-bit RGB data format. The mixed driving method is a mixture the channel amp. driving method with high drivability and the gray amp. driving method with small area, which remarkably reduces channel driver areas. The driver has been designed using the $0.35{\mu}m$ Magnachip embedded DRAM technology and simulated using the HSPICE simulator. The results show that our source driver operates well with y-correction and the channel driver has $17{\mu}s$ channel driving time with only 78 driving amplifiers and control logic.

  • This study presents a novel four-channel light-emitting diode (LED) current balancing topology using a current-fed hybrid quasi-Z-source converter. With the proposed structure, currents flowing through four LED strings are automatically balanced owing to the charge (amp-sec) balance condition on capacitors. Thus, automatic current balancing of the proposed driver is simple and precise. In addition, the proposed LED driver uses only one active switch and three diodes. The operating principle and characteristics of the proposed four-channel LED driver are analyzed in detail. To verify the operation of the proposed LED driver, a prototype is built and tested with different numbers of LEDs.

  • The Fabric Electrode was proposed for the effective production of the display based on electrowetting in this paper and designed the source driver of flexible display which could be driven by the electrowetting cell. The electrowetting cell matrix was implemented on the substrate(PET) by imprinting. The driver fabric, wetting electrode fabric and conductive fabric was placed horizontally and vertically in the groove between cell matrix and the electrowetting cell matrix can be driven by the cross-point as electric connection. The integration density of driver module is decreased because using the R/2R DAC module per channel in the conventional method. The proposed method could utilize the effective production process and reduce the production price of a display panel. The source driver which consume lower power and can increase the integration density because of reducing the number of driver device per channel was designed and evaluate the driver operation by the simulation using the VHDL programming in this paper.

  • High speed on-off electro-magnetic valves have been used for pressure control or flow control in automotive or construction machine servomechanisms. These systems require quicker valve switching speed to improve control preciseness. The authors designed and manufactured an electric valve driver with quick response characteristics by using 3 power source type valve driver concept. In experiments by using a hydraulic system incorporating the new valve driver, the new driver shortened the switching lag time from 5 ms to 1.3 ms. And also the new driver showed excellent position tracking control performances.

  • A gain enhancement rail-to-rail buffer amplifier for liquid crystal display (LCD) source driver is proposed. An op-amp with extremely high gain is needed to decrease the offset voltage of the buffer amplifier. Cascoded floating current source and class-AB control block in the op-amp achieve a high voltage gain by reducing the channel length modulation effect in high voltage technologies. HSPICE simulation in $1\;{\mu}V$ 15 V CMOS process demonstrates that voltage gain is increased by 30 dB. The offset voltage is improved from 6.84 mV to $400\;{\mu}V$. Proposed op-amp is fabricated in an LCD source driver IC and overall system offset voltage is decreased by 2 mV.

  • A high data accuracy and low power consumption driving method and output stage of the source driver are proposed for the LTPS TFT-LCD in mobile applications. The proposed driving method is insensitive to the variations of the electrical characteristics of TFTs, which enables the output errors of the source driver are under 1/2 LSB in all gray levels. In addition, the power consumption of the driver with the method is decreased to 9.9mW which is 55.9% of that of the conventional source driver by reducing unnecessary charge waste.

  • A new plasma display panel sustaining driver using single side sustaining technique with a dual resonant method is proposed in this paper. Since this circuit enables to keep device voltage stress same as the prior circuit, it can be a low cost circuit compared to a conventional driver. To integrate the sustaining function into one side with a single power source in the driver, a charge pump method is adopted to make negative sustaining voltage and to achieve dual resonant energy recovery on the sustaining modes.
