In this paper, a new circuit design named memory-in-pixel for low power consumption of the liquid crystal display (LCD) is presented. Since each pixel has a memory, it is able to express 8 color grades using the data saved in the memory without the operation of the gate and source driver ICs so that it can reduce the power consumption of the LCD panel. A memory circuit consists of modified S-R flip-flop (NAND-type) implemented in the pixel, which can supply AC bias for operating the liquid crystal (LC) with the interlocking clocks (CLK_A and CLK_B). This circuit is more complex than the inverter-type memory circuit, but it has lower power consumption of approximately 50% than the circuit. We have investigated the power consumption both NAND and inverter-type memory circuit using a Smart SPICE for the resolution of $96{\times}128$. The estimated power consumption of the inverter-type memory was about 0.037mW. On the other hand, the NAND-type memory showed power consumption of about 0.007mW.

In this study, we presented a novel method to calculate unknown voltages on the floating electrodes introduced in a unit pixel of TFT-LCDs using three-dimensional molecular director simulation. For the simulation of the potential distribution profiles generated under the influence of the floating electrodes, we used the floating boundary condition on the surface enclosing the floating electrodes. The constraint for the floating boundary condition was derived from the charge neutrality condition about the floating electrodes disconnected from voltage sources. For the pixel with the floating electrodes patterned between the pixel and the data electrodes, we simulated the molecular director and the potential distribution in three-dimension, and then observed the location of the disclination lines around the edge of the pixel electrode. As a result, it was revealed that the floating electrodes significantly affect the electro-optical characteristics such as the location of the disclination line.

A new data line reduction driving method was developed for high pixel density LCoS microdisplays. Its pixel structures and its corresponding gate line waveform were proposed, too. This idea can fulfill the increasing demand for higher resolution LCoS. In this method, no additional AC power is dissipated, and no more horizontal line time is needed. So this method can be applied to the high resolution microdisplay devices. It prefers being applied to the reflective liquid crystal on silicon microdisplays because of the pixel structure asymmetry and PMOS transistor switches used.

We propose a novel pixel structure using bootstrapped voltage programming for amorphoussilicon TFT backplane of AM-OLED (Active Matrix-Organic Light Emitting Diode) displays. The proposed structure is composed of two TFTs and one capacitor. It operates at low drive voltage ($0{\sim}5V$) which can reduce power consumption comparing with the conventional pixel circuit structure using same OLED material. Also, it can easily control dark level and use commercial mobile LCD ICs. In this paper, we describe the operating principle and the characteristics of the proposed pixel structure and verify the performance by SPICE simulation comparing with the conventional pixel structure.

The pixel art style evolved from the shortcomings of computer image display technology has gradually transformed from a technical limitation into a widely recognized form of artistic expression since development in the early 20th century. This study analyzes the application and characteristics of the expandability of pixel art style design content in sub industries such as physical goods, environmental design, website design, digital art and illustration in the design field. It aims to explore the visual expression and sustainable development form of pixel art style under the development of new media technology that contradicts traditional technological concepts. The research results show that although the pixel art style generally pursues external visual features such as pixelated visual effects, sawtooth and matrix arrangements, its expansion in the art field shows a unique diversity of visual expressions. It has become an important means to convey nostalgic emotions and cultural values. Through this research, we hope to inspire more academic researchers and technology practitioners to explore the development potential of the pixel art style in emerging fields and promote its innovative application in design practice.

We have studied how rubbing direction affects generation of disclination line in transmissive microdisplay for $90^{\circ}$ twisted nematic (TN) mode with pixel size of $22.2{\mu}m$. The rubbing direction of bottom substrate is changed from $0^{\circ}$ to $-135^{\circ}$ with a decrease step of $45^{\circ}$, and the results show that the generation regions of the disclination line are of a smallest size in $-135^{\circ}$ direction. The results were the same although the pixel size decreased. Consequently, the use of proper rubbing direction of liquid crystal can help overcome the problems of low aperture ratio and low contrast ratio in transmissive-type microdisplays. In addition, the pretilt angle of initial liquid crystal is found to make an important contribution to generation of the disclination line.

In this paper, we developed white balance correction processor for Full Color LED Display System which could be display uniformity color and soft light by adjusting brightness of red, green, blue pixel, individually. This processor correct brightness by calculating operating current of each pixel(red, green, blue LED) on the basis of characteristic curve of LED device when we named "a" as a specific characteristic value, "b" as a brightness correction value according to using time, "X" as a operating current value, and "Y" as brightness value. As the results, we solved the reduction problem of brightness for long used LED devices, according to increase entire mean of brightness value by adjusting "b" value from the brightness characteristic function.

In this paper, a new beamforming technique is proposed, which can completely eliminate all the artifacts caused by digital scan converter. In the proposed method, named display-pixel-based focusing(DPBF) by the authors, ultrasound waves are focused directly at the display pixels instead of sampling points on the polar coordinate. Consequently. the DPBF system does not require the digital scan converter. To verify the proposed method, we modified a commercial scanner and performed experiments with a 3.5 MHz convex array and a 7.5 MHz linear array. We also defined and measured ICRA/B(Image Coarseness Ratio) to compare the image quality quantitatively. The experimental results with in vivo and in vitro data show that the proposed method improves the ICRA/B considerably, resulting in much smoother and finer images.
