  • Patent number: 8044915
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display apparatus includes a plurality of pixels arranged in matrix form including respective transistors, a plurality of gate bus lines, each of which is coupled to gates of the transistors arranged in a corresponding single row, a plurality of data bus lines, each of which is coupled to one end of channels of the transistors arranged in a corresponding single column, a gate driver configured to successively drive the plurality of gate bus lines, and a timing control circuit configured to supply to the gate driver a timing signal indicative of a start of the successive driving of the plurality of gate bus lines and to mask the timing signal for a predetermined time period following the supplying of the timing signal.

  • Patent number: 7859503
    Abstract: In driving a liquid crystal display device having an alignment regulating structure for regulating liquid crystal, when the display state of the pixel is to be changed from a dark display to a bright display, a difference between the magnitude of a voltage Vd4 applied to the liquid crystal of the pixel at the beginning of the first frame and the magnitude of a voltage Vd3 applied to the liquid crystal of the pixel in the second frame or a subsequent frame, is set to be greater than a voltage Vod that decreases in the first frame due to an increase in the liquid crystal capacitance of the pixel.
