Patent ID: 10810918

Abstract:
A video display device capable of compensating for display defects, comprising: liquid crystal panel for displaying an image through a pixel matrix; a data driver for outputting data to data lines of the liquid crystal display panel; a gate driver for driving the gate lines of the liquid crystal display panel; a timing controller for receiving compensated data, uncompensated data and synchronizing signals to output a gate control signal to the gate driver and to output both resultant data and a data control signal to the data driver; and a memory for storing information on point defect information on the liquid crystal display panel, and at least one of horizontal and vertical line defects of the liquid crystal display panel of the liquid crystal display panel; and a data compensation circuit for receiving display data and synchronizing signals, and outputting compensated data to the timing controller based on the information in the memory and uncompensated data to the timing controller, wherein the data compensation circuit includes a vertical line compensator for compensating a vertical line defect of the liquid crystal display panel, a horizontal line compensator for compensating a horizontal line defect of the liquid crystal display panel, and a multiplexer for selecting an output from one of the vertical line compensator and the horizontal line compensator in accordance with whether a defect is a vertical line defect or a horizontal line defect.
