  • Publication number: 20110304709
    Abstract: A liquid crystal drive unit performs overdrive processing such that when driving a liquid crystal panel so as to increase a brightness toward a target brightness determined by a left-eye video signal or a right-eye video signal, the liquid crystal drive unit drives the liquid crystal panel in accordance with a drive amount corresponding to a brightness of not less than the target brightness and, when driving the liquid crystal panel so as to reduce the brightness toward the target brightness, the liquid crystal drive unit drives the liquid crystal panel in accordance with a drive amount corresponding to a brightness of not more than the target brightness. In the overdrive processing, the drive amount corresponding to the same target brightness differs depending on a scanning position on a display screen of the liquid crystal panel.

The display device includes a PDP having a pair of electrodes, a first, a second, and a third conductive member, and a pair of driving circuits used to apply a voltage to their respective electrodes. Each conductive member has substantially the same width and height as the PDP, and the first, second, third conductive members are disposed on the rear surface of the PDP, in this order on the rear side of the PDP. The PDP and the conductive members are connected electrically to one another in the end portions of these elements, either directly or via the driving circuits, so that the direction of the current flowing in the PDP during driving and discharge coincides with the direction of the current flowing in the third conductive member, and is opposite from the direction of the current flowing in the first conductive member and the second conductive member.
