Patent number: 7701426Abstract: In each horizontal period, by switching ON switches respectively provided for three data signal lines for R, G and B in a group at the same time only in a predetermined period, the data signal lines in the group are preliminary charged to a predetermined potential at the same time before a data signal supply period. In a subsequent data signal supply period, respective switches of data signal lines for R, G and B are switched ON sequentially, to sequentially supply respective data for R, G and B to pixels on a scanning signal line as selected are supplied via data signal lines. As a result, in a display device driven by time-division based on a group of sequentially provided data signal lines, it is possible to suppress up-throw potential fluctuations when display.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2004Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Makoto Yokoyama, Hajime Washio, Yuhichiroh Murakami, Etsuo Yamamoto

The signal output circuit includes a set-reset flip-flop, and a signal generation circuit for generating an output signal by loading or blocking a clock signal in accordance with a signal inputted thereto. The signal output circuit is arranged such that: the signal generation circuit receives a signal outputted from the flip-flop and the output signal fed back to the signal generating circuit; and the output signal is fed back to a reset input of the flip-flop. This makes it possible to achieve a reduction in the area of the circuit and a simplification of the circuit.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2006Publication date: April 30, 2009Applicant: SHARP KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Etsuo Yamamoto, Yuhichitoh Murakami, Eiji Matsuda

Publication number: 20090085902Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, on each source bus line, an electric charge escaping transistor is provided having the same polarity as a pixel transistor and having a gate to which a turn-off voltage signal of the pixel transistor is supplied. When an active matrix liquid crystal display device is powered off, the turn-off voltage signal is made to reach the GND level before a turn-on voltage signal of the pixel transistor reaches the GND level, so that the pixel transistor and the electric charge escaping transistor are made half-open. This lets electric charges accumulated in the pixel escape to a common electrode TCOM.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2006Publication date: April 2, 2009Inventors: Etsuo Yamamoto, Yuhichiroh Murakami, Yasushi Sasaki, Seijirou Gyouten

Patent number: 7505020Abstract: A simultaneous precharge type display device source driver includes supply control circuits each of which is provided on each of source bus lines. Each of the supply control circuits receives (a) a precharge control signal for precharging each of the source bus line and (b) a sampling control signal for writing data, which should be written on pixels, onto the source bus line. The one of two switches turns ON in response to the precharge control signal and the sampling control signal. The other of the switches turns ON in response to the sampling control signal. In the sampling operation, both the switches are turned ON so as to quicken the writing operation. In the precharge operation, the other switch does not operate, so that it is possible to reduce the power consumption.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2004Date of Patent: March 17, 2009Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Etsuo Yamamoto, Seijirou Gyouten, Sachio Tsujino, Hoh Riku
