Patent number: 8174474Abstract: A voltage having the positive polarity and a voltage having the negative polarity are alternately applied to a pixel between a counter electrode and a pixel electrode. A counter electrode voltage (Vcom) generating circuit or a source signal generating section is provided each of which controls effective voltages to be applied to the pixel for an identical tone so that an effective voltage having the positive polarity and an effective voltage having the negative polarity are asymmetrically applied to the pixel for all of the tones which can be displayed. The counter electrode voltage (Vcom) generating circuit or the source signal generating section shifts a counter electrode voltage Vcom-A or a source voltage by 0.3 V or more from a voltage causing the effective voltages to be symmetrically applied to the pixel.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2007Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yuichi Inoue, Katsutoshi Kobayashi, Tetsuya Kobayashi, Hidehiko Yamaguchi, Seiji Sutoh

Patent number: 7486286Abstract: A pixel charge-discharge circuit charges and discharges a series circuit of a capacitor by alternately connecting two types of auxiliary capacitance wires to a high voltage source and a low voltage source by using four types of switches. The high voltage source and the low voltage source are positive voltage sources, and a potential of the high voltage source is greater than that of the low voltage source. The low voltage source serving as a sink-current-flowing voltage source includes a stored energy adjustment section. The stored energy adjustment section discharges electrostatic energy from the high voltage source by turning ON and OFF two types of switches and causes the electrostatic energy to be balanced by energy supplied from the series circuit.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2005Date of Patent: February 3, 2009Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Jinoh Kim, Katsutoshi Kobayashi
