  • Patent number: 10777585
    Abstract: To provide a display device with excellent display quality, in a display device including a signal line, a scan line, a transistor, a pixel electrode, and a common electrode in a pixel, the common electrode is included in which an extending direction of a region overlapping with the signal line differs from an extending direction of a region overlapping with the pixel electrode in a planar shape and the extending directions intersect with each other between the signal line and the pixel electrode. Thus, a change in transmittance of the pixel can be suppressed; accordingly, flickers can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 10345661
    Abstract: To provide a display device with a novel structure that can achieve both thickness reduction and favorable display quality. In a structure of a display device including a liquid crystal layer between a pixel electrode and a counter electrode, a common electrode and an electrode of a capacitor in a touch sensor on the counter electrode side are formed integrally and supplied with a pulse signal. On the element substrate side, a signal to be supplied to a capacitor line that forms a capacitance with the pixel electrode is in conjunction with the pulse signal so as to cancel a change in an electric field applied to the liquid crystal layer. Such a structure can achieve a display device with a touch sensor function that can cancel a change in an electric field applied to a liquid crystal layer even when the electric field is changed by a pulse signal.

  • Patent number: 10338419
    Abstract: A flicker of an FFS liquid crystal display device that is driven at a low refresh rate is reduced. In an FFS liquid crystal display, a pixel electrode and a first common electrode included in a liquid crystal element are formed on an element substrate side, and a second common electrode is formed on another substrate (counter substrate) side. By making the first and second common electrodes have the same potential, generation of a residual DC voltage can be suppressed in a pixel. Thus, even when a refresh rate is lowered, change in transmittance of a pixel can be suppressed in a data retention period, so that a flicker can be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20180350316
    Abstract: To provide an information processing system allowing eye-friendly display. The information processing system includes a liquid crystal display device (LCD) as a display unit. An image can be displayed in the LCD by at least two driving methods: a first driving method in which data is sequentially rewritten every frame; and a second driving method in which rewriting of data is stopped after data is rewritten once or more times at the same refresh rate as the first driving method. After the display by the second driving method, each pixel is inversely driven plural times by a signal with an amplitude greater than or equal to 80% and less than or equal to 100% of the maximum amplitude of the data signal, whereby degradation of a liquid crystal material is repaired.
