This paper presents thermally adaptive driving (TAD) technology for response time compensation (RTC) of an LCD with an integrated sensor. The TAD is comprised of analog sensor signal conditioning and a digital feedback algorithm. The integrated thermal sensor provides accurate temperature measurement of the liquid crystal layer. The TAD controller has an 8-step look-up-table (LUT), and compensates response time based on the panel temperature. The TAD system reduces response time by nearly 50% over the temperature range 0℃ -60℃.

This paper presents a thermal sensor which has been integrated onto an LCD. The sensor uses metal (Mo/Al) film as a temperature detection layer, and its fabrication requires no manufacturing process changes. The sensor shows very good linearity, sensitivity and reliability. Used with a feedback system, the thermal sensor resulted in flicker reduction of nearly 70% over the temperature range 10 °C to 70 °C.
