Abstract: The occurrence of flicker is effectively suppressed particularly in a liquid crystal display device that performs low-frequency driving. Provided are a gradation-to-voltage value conversion table for converting a gradation to a voltage value, a correction value map for storing a correction value, and a voltage value-to-gradation conversion table for converting a voltage value to a gradation. A gradation of an input image signal is converted to a first voltage value, using the gradation-to-voltage value conversion table. The correction value specified in accordance with a location of a pixel to be processed is added to or subtracted from the first voltage value so that a second voltage value is obtained. The second voltage value is converted to an output gradation, using the voltage value-to-gradation conversion table. A driving video signal is applied to a source bus line, based on the output gradation.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device that performs intermittent driving involving a driving period and an idle period includes a gray scale level control unit that generates, from an input image signal, an image signal for display and an image signal for correction. A signal line control unit writes the image signal for correction to the plurality of signal lines before writing the image signal for display during a driving period. An LUT stores a correction gray scale value associated with a gray scale value of at least a current frame. An adding circuit corrects the input image signal based on the correction gray scale value read from the LUT. The subtracting circuit specifies, in a pixel region, a regular image pattern including at least a first pixel and a second pixel and changes an output from the adding circuit for the first image by a predetermined gray scale width.

Abstract: The invention provides a liquid crystal display device capable of preventing a reduction in display quality by suppressing the occurrence of flicker during alternating-voltage drive, as well as a method for driving the same. Overshoot drive is performed during a first frame period, which is shortened to such an extent that a “positive effective area” and a “negative effective area” are approximately equal in size. The duration of the first frame period is set to be greater than or equal to a quarter of one frame period at a refresh rate of 60 Hz but less than one frame period. This renders it possible to make adjustments such that luminance is inhibited from abruptly dropping immediately after a polarity change, and also luminance is prevented from becoming excessively high due to overshoot drive, and therefore, the occurrence of flicker due to flexoelectric polarization during alternating-voltage drive can be suppressed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device capable of suppressing a decrease in display quality when pause drive is performed in an alternating-voltage drive mode, as well as a method for driving the same. In a first drive frame, overshoot drive is performed using correction values provided by an LUT to apply overshoot voltages whose absolute values are higher than absolute values of signal voltages to data signal lines. Subsequently, in a second drive frame, normal drive is performed to write signal voltages of the same polarity as the overshoot drive voltages to the data signal lines. Thereafter, a pause period in which an image written by normal drive is displayed continues until the start of a drive period in the next pause drive period. As a result, a decrease in luminance immediately after the signal voltages are written during the second drive frame is suppressed significantly, so that the viewer barely recognizes flicker.

Abstract: There is provided an image display device, in which a pixel includes sub-pixels of four or more colors that include a color in addition to the three primary colors, and which can display a high-quality image in which false colors or artifacts are suppressed. The image display device includes a pixel area in which a plurality of pixels P are arranged in a matrix shape, and each of the pixels P includes m (m is an integer which is equal to or greater than 4) sub-pixels SP. When it is assumed that the colors of the m sub-pixels SP included in one pixel are C1, C2, . . . , and Cm, the m sub-pixels SP which are sequentially arrayed from an arbitrary position include all of the colors of C1, C2, . . . , and Cm in both the vertical direction and the horizontal direction in the pixel area.

Abstract: Grayscale values for previous and current frames are different, and therefore, an overshoot voltage, which has a higher absolute value than a signal voltage, are applied to a data signal line. Next, in a second drive frame, normal drive is performed, so that a signal voltage of the same polarity as the overshoot voltage is written to the data signal line. Moreover, in a first drive frame of a third pause drive period, the grayscale values for the previous and current frames are equal, and also greater than or equal to a boundary value, and therefore, undershoot drive is performed. An undershoot voltage, which has a lower absolute value than a signal voltage, is applied to the data signal line. Next, in a second drive frame, normal drive is performed, so that a signal voltage of the same polarity as the undershoot voltage is written to the data signal line.

Abstract: An image determination part configured to determine whether or not an image based on an input image signal is an image analogous to a polarity reversal pattern in a reversal driving scheme employed by default and to output a determination result, and a reversal pattern decision part configured to decide a reversal driving scheme based on the determination result are provided as constituent elements anterior to a liquid crystal drive unit. With regard to each unit area where the determination by the image determination part is made, the reversal pattern decision part decides the reversal driving scheme in the unit area, as a reversal driving scheme different from the reversal driving scheme employed by default, when the determination result indicates that the image based on the input image signal is the image analogous to the polarity reversal pattern in the reversal driving scheme employed by default.

Abstract: In first and second display devices (10, 20) both during pause drive (intermittent drive), an instantaneous increase in consumption power is suppressed by means of a configuration to perform control such that the scanning period in one of the two display panels is inserted during the scanning-stopped period in the other display panel, namely during the drive operation (for writing into the pixel circuit) of one of the two display panels, the drive operation (for writing) of the other display panel is not performed. Accordingly, even when a limit value of a current supply capability of a battery is low, the display device can be driven, so that a battery service life is prolonged and the operable time of a portable terminal (100) at the time of driving by the battery is increased.

A display control circuit (20) includes a frame memory (101), a coercive refreshing determination section (104), a refreshing circuit (105), and an undershoot circuit (106).

The undershoot circuit (106) performs, if in reception of the active correction instruction signal, a correction by making a subtracting operation to the image data received from the frame memory (101), and then outputs corrected image data.

Abstract: The phenomenon of the hue of an image displayed in a liquid crystal display changing depending on whether or not CABC is employed is reduced. An image processing device sets a predetermined first brightness as the backlight brightness if CABC is not to be performed, and if CABC is to be performed, sets, for each frame of an image signal displayed on the liquid crystal panel, a second luminance determined according to the gradation of the pixels in the frame. If CABC is to be performed, the image processing device corrects the gradation values of the primary colors of the pixels in each frame of the image signal according to the second luminance set for that frame and on the basis of the display characteristics of the liquid crystal panel.

Abstract: In a display control circuit (200) of a display device (100) that enables 3-D display, a color correction table storage unit (22) stores a parameter (Mp) for adjusting a hue, and a data correction unit (23) corrects a pixel value by performing, based on the parameter (Mp), an arithmetic processing so as to change a blue hue. An adjustment is performed so as to match a hue in a case of 3-D display for which a parallax barrier is formed with a hue in a case of normal display for which the parallax barrier is not formed. Therefore, the adjustment is simple.
