Graphics Processor Architecture Employing Variable Refresh Rates

View page
US Patent:
6400361, Jun 4, 2002
Filed:
Apr 23, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/065468
Inventors:
Daniel Toffolo - Wilton CT
Assignee:
United Technologies Dearborn, Inc - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
G09G 500
US Classification:
345213, 345545, 3484401
Abstract:
The display system includes a display controller which renders text and graphics and writes it to the RAM. The display controller then reads the rendered information from the RAM and activates a display based upon that information. Generally the display controller reads information from the display controller and activates the display at a constant refresh rate; however, when a large number of text and/or graphics to be rendered have accumulated, the display controller temporarily reduces the refresh rate in order to render and write the text and/or graphics to the RAM.

Transparent Electroluminescent Display With Mechanical Gauge

View page
US Patent:
6542146, Apr 1, 2003
Filed:
May 27, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/320884
Inventors:
Daniel J. Toffolo - Trumbull CT
Silviu Pala - Birmingham MI
Richard Chutorash - Rochester Hills MI
Robert M. Roza - Farmington Hills MI
Marian O. Borzea - Farmington Hills MI
Assignee:
Lear Corporation - Southfield MI
International Classification:
G09G 500
US Classification:
345156, 345636, 340438, 340441
Abstract:
A transparent display screen can be positioned in a drivers line of sight or in front of mechanical indicators on an instrument panel. The display screen preferably has a frame or rim member along only one edge of the screen. Since the display screen is transparent and does not include a frame or rim around its perimeter, the display screen makes information available without obstructing the drivers view of the road. The single frame or rim member supports all of the row and column electrodes that are used to selectively illuminate the pixels on the display screen. The transparent display screen can be used effectively with one or more mechanical indicators positioned properly near the display screen. In one example, a single controller controls the screen, an associated filter and the mechanical indicators.

View page
US Patent:
58051244, Sep 8, 1998
Filed:
Apr 4, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/626898
Inventors:
Mohan L. Kapoor - Orange CT
Thomas J. Rebeschi - North Haven CT
Peter O. Shanaghan - Stratford CT
Daniel J. Toffolo - Wilton CT
Assignee:
Norhtrop Grumman Corporation - Los Angeles CA
International Classification:
G09G 330
US Classification:
345 76
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for providing a driver circuit for an electroluminescent display panel comprising a row driver including positive row drive elements and negative row drive elements, a first power lead with a first predetermined voltage V. sub. neg connected in series through a first switch connection to a first node, the first node connected to a first current limiter to the negative row drive elements, a second current limiter operably connected between a first fixed potential to a second node, the second node connected to the positive row drive elements, a third current limiter connected between the negative row drive element and the second fixed potential, a second power lead with a second predetermined voltage V. sub. pos connected in parallel to the first node through a second switch connection and a power storage device connected between the first and second nodes, wherein the voltage across the positive and negative row drive elements is selectable, via predetermined operation of the first and second switch connections, between a) V. sub. neg and b) the difference between V. sub. pos and V. sub. neg.

Silviu Palalau - Birmington MI
Marian Borzea - Farmington Hills MI
William Rogers - Soffield CT
Luiz F.H. Bacellar - South Glastonbury CT
Assignee:
Lear Automotive Dearborn, Inc. - Southfield MI
International Classification:
G06F 300
G06F 314
US Classification:
345348
Abstract:
A display system includes an input device sending information on a vehicle bus to a display controller. Based upon the information from the input device, the display controller selects one of a plurality of graphics stored on a local memory. The selected graphic is displayed on a display by the display controller.

Electroluminescent Panel Drive Optimization

View page
US Patent:
59008512, May 4, 1999
Filed:
May 13, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/078525
Inventors:
Daniel Toffolo - Wilton CT
Silviu Palalau - Birmingham MI
Marian Borzea - Farmington Hills MI
Assignee:
UT Automotive Dearborn, Inc. - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
G09G 500
US Classification:
345 76
Abstract:
A power system for a display, particularly an electroluminescent display, includes a temperature sensor for sensing the temperature of the glass panel. A first power supply circuit supplies a first power output having a first average power and first peak power. A second power circuit generating a second power output having second average power greater than the first average power and a second peak power less than the first peak power.
