  • Patent number: 9818351
    Abstract: A LCD includes the sub-pixels arranged at least in two adjacent rows. The sub-pixels of the same color are interleaved with each other along the column direction. When the LCD displays a pure color frame, within the even-number arranging periods of the sub-pixels arranged along the column direction, a number of the sub-pixels of the same color being applied with the data signals having positive polarity are the same with the sub-pixels of the same color being applied with the data signals having negative polarity. In this way, the common electrode coupling caused by the transition of the data signals may be avoided. This eliminates the flicker issues and enhances the display performance of the LCD.

  • Publication number: 20170032749
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes multiple sub-pixels arranged along a row direction and a column direction as a matrix and multiple data lines disposed along the column direction. Each data line is used for applying a data signal to a corresponding column of the sub-pixels. Each row of the sub-pixels includes even-number sub-pixels having different colors arranged periodically. When a pure color picture frame is displayed, and in even-number arrangement cycles formed by adjacently disposing sub-pixels having different colors along the row direction, for the sub-pixels having a same color, the number of the sub-pixels being applied with a positive polarity and the number of the sub-pixels being applied with a negative polarity are the same. The present invention can avoid generating a common electrode coupling signal because of a transient change of the data signals, and eliminate the flick phenomenon to improve the display quality.
