Abstract: An LCD device driven with storage capacitors prevents defective image display caused by capacitive coupling between data lines and storage capacitor lines. The LCD device includes pixel electrodes arranged at intersections between drain lines and gate lines, switching elements, storage capacitor lines corresponding to the gate lines, storage capacitors having first electrodes connected to the pixel electrodes and second electrodes connected to the storage capacitor lines, a switching circuit for selectively applying a potential to the storage capacitor lines, and a drain driver. The drain driver selects some of the data lines so that an equal number of image data signals having a positive polarity and image data signals having a negative polarity are provided to the selected data lines and simultaneously provides the selected data lines with the image data signals having a positive polarity and the image data signals having a negative polarity.

Abstract: This invention is directed to the active matrix display device with an imaging speed rapid enough for the moving image display and the small power consumption. The selector makes the switch between the moving image mode, where the image signal consecutively inputted is consecutively displayed after the certain processing is performed by the data processing unit and the still image mode, where the display is made based on the image signal stored in the frame memory. The messy display upon the switching between the modes can be prevented by differentiating the switching timing of the still to moving image mode from that of the moving to still image mode, improving the display quality.

Abstract: When the orientation of liquid crystal molecules in a pixel are divided by an orientation divider, a boundary of the orientation is produced at any part of the pixel. A drain signal line (54) is formed to overlap with the boundary so that a light-shielding region in the pixel is decreased and an aperture ratio can be improved. Leakage of light caused when the orientation is disturbed can be shielded by the drain signal line (54), and contrast can be enhanced. The orientation divider can be an orientation control window (36), an orientation control slope (90) or the like.

Abstract: The first output buffer 22 of the driving LSI 20 outputs the first video signal voltage V and the second output buffer outputs the second video signal voltage *V with the opposite polarity from that of the first video signal voltage. The first and the second video signal voltages V, *V are fed to the drain driver 2 of the display panel 1 through a pair of signal wirings. The drain driver 2 supplies the first video signal voltage V to a pixel and the second video signal voltage with the opposite polarity to the pixel adjacent to the fist pixel through the drain line 5 and the TFT9. In this way, any pair of the adjacent pixels in horizontal and vertical direction receives the video signal voltages with opposite polarities from each other.

Abstract: A driving circuit of a display device such as a liquid crystal generates power supply clocks (1 and 2) based on a system clock during the normal display operation which is not a power save mode. The generated power supply clocks are supplied, directly or after inversion, to the switches (SW1 through SW4 (and SW5 through SW8)) in a charge pump type power supply circuit (300) for switching the connection of capacitors (C1 and C2 (and C11 and C12)) in the power supply circuit (300). In this manner, supply voltages VDD2 and VDD3 which function as the driving power supply for a driving circuit (100) and a display panel (200) can be obtained at the power supply circuit (300) by boosting the input voltage Vin.

Each of the first and second memory portions (30A and 30B) comprises an input-side line memory (32) composed of, for example, 400-stage input side shift register to which said digital video signal is sequentially input, and an output-side line memory (34) for receiving the data transferred in parallel from the input line memory (32) to serially output the stored data from a selected one of output portions (Out1-4) provided at the 320th, 256th or first stage FF34. The output portion of the memory (34) is thus selected by selectors (380A, 380B) in accordance with the number of pixels in the horizontal direction of the LCD panel, such that LCD panels having the different numbers of pixels can be driven with the same structure.

In addition, an inverting controlling circuit is provided for inverting the background display signal supplied to each of the pixels in the background display area for each frame. The power consumption of the display device can be reduced.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device has a liquid crystal panel, a DA converter for generating a common electrode signal to be applied to a common electrode of a liquid crystal, and a non-volatile memory for encoding an optimum value of the common electrode signal into an ID code and storing the ID code therein. The DA converter generates the optimum common electrode signal corresponding to the ID code read out from the non-volatile memory. A liquid crystal panel manufacturer ships the liquid crystal panel in which the optimum value of the common electrode signal is encoded into the ID code and stored in the non-volatile memory in an inspecting process. The assembling manufacturer using the liquid crystal panel can easily set the optimum value of the common electrode signal. Furthermore, the liquid crystal display device has a CPU decoding the ID code read out from the non-volatile memory. Alternatively, it is possible to supply a data of a value of the common electrode signal to a user of the liquid crystal.
