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.

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 the signal processing system for driving the Poly-Si TFT LCD of EWS. The signal processing system consist of timing controller, ramp signal generator and video signal processing system. Timing controller includes the top-down inversion. left right inversion, left-right shifting and control signal generator according to multi-source signal. The video signal processing system generates sawtooth-shaped waveform by using PROM and DAC for multi-gray scales and implements gamma correction function for compensating the TFT-LCD nonlinear charcteristic of the TFT-LCD. Finally we have discussed the experiment results and its application according to the designed TFT-LCD driving system.

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.

Chunghwa Picture Tubes, LTD. (CPT) has developed a Novel TFT-LCD Driving Techniquel. This new technique is developed in combination with other state-of-the-art image processing solutions such as image compression / decompression, motion detection, and noise reduction. By applying the Novel Driving Technique to the high resolution TFT-LCD, it was found that the response time can be effectively reduced with a lower overall system cost by smaller frame memory requirement, lower EMI by less memory band-width. Likewise, higher display quality can also be achieved in that the unexpected noises generated by over-drive can be eliminated. The Novel TFT-LCD Driving Technique has been successfully implemented to the 30 inch WXGA (1280${\times}$768) resolution TFT LCD commercial TV module. It was found that the quality of moving picture was better improved compared with that of the conventional fast response driving method.

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.

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.

Today's most equipments that contain embedded system only support simple menus and background graphics. However, as the embedded system is applied for much more various fields and the user's needs for graphical interface become higher, the support for multimedia and moving pictures became an important criterion to evaluate the performance of a equipment. Because the present embedded system uses software to construct display environment, it is difficult to meet the bandwidth for multimedia contents and moving pictures. Using software for graphic also lowers the performance of the main function by overloading the processor. In this paper, we present an OLED/TFT-LCD controller suitable for embedded systems. The architecture we propose is described in HDL and the performance is evaluated in comparison with the existing embedded systems.

An PIAGP generator for TFT-LCD production has been proposed in this paper. The proposed generator was implemented using careful control of timing controller signals using a FPGA. The generator displays successfully the intended pattern sequence(REDlongrightarrowGREENlongrightarrowBLUElongrightarrowWHITElongrightarrowBLACK) and the result are demonstrated at the conference site. The advantage of the use of the proposed generator is the simplification of production equipments and the pattern generator.

In this paper a full FPGA-based and compact motor-control system is shown that makes it easy to control the motor and analyze the result data in real time with embedding not only a DC motor controller but also a TFT LCD interface in a single FPGA. Both a PID speed control module for a DC motor and a monitoring module for plotting real time graphs on to a TFT LCD are designed in a single FPGA, and the system validity is shown through simulation and experimental results. The FPGA used is xc3s400 and the entire system is designed by using the AD (Altium Designer). A PWM motor drive system is constructed by using MOSFETs for a DC motor 4-quadrant operations.
