Abstract: The present invention is related to an asymmetric aligned display having asymmetric viewing angles. The present invention provides a dual-view or 3D display capable of displaying two images of unrelated or related content along different directions with asymmetric viewing angles. The asymmetric viewing angles of the display device of the present invention can be realized by the introduction of multiple sub-pixel pitches into a single display. To be more specific, the present invention provides an asymmetric aligned display by realizing the asymmetry design in the sub-pixel itself. Consequently, the angular extends of the respective viewing windows or images displayed along different directions can be different or asymmetrical. The asymmetric aligned display of the present invention is, therefore, capable of displaying images along different directions with asymmetric viewing angles and windows without affecting the outer boundaries of the viewing windows.

The beverage carton therefore creates less material waste, is strong and easily folded for storage and transportation.

Abstract: A method and circuit for driving LCD are provided. Because the conventional Vcom inversion drive method cannot be applied in a self-aligned process, the power consumption cannot be reduced when the size of the transistor decreases. The method and circuit provided uses two different AC signals to provide different reference voltages for the storage capacitor and the liquid crystal capacitor in a pixel respectively. Therefore, it can be applied to the self-aligned process to reduce the power consumption.
