Patent number: 8674919Abstract: Each picture element includes first and second sub-picture elements, each of which includes a liquid crystal capacitor and at least one storage capacitor. After a display voltage representing a certain grayscale level has been applied to the respective sub-picture element electrodes of the first and second sub-picture elements, a voltage difference ?V? is produced between voltages to be applied to the respective liquid crystal capacitors of the first and second sub-picture elements by way of their associated storage capacitor(s). By setting the voltage difference ?V? value of the blue and/or cyan picture element(s) to be smaller than that of the other color picture elements, shift toward the yellow range at an oblique viewing angle can be minimized.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2012Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Fumikazu Shimoshikiryoh, Kentaroh Irie, Masanori Takeuchi, Nobuyoshi Nagashima, Toshihide Tsubata

Patent number: 8614658Abstract: A segmented-pixel liquid crystal display has a plurality of pixels of which each has three sub-pixels 10a-10c, namely one middle and two side sub-pixels, arranged next to one another in the column or row direction. The sub-pixels 10a-10c have different brightness levels when the pixel as a whole is in a given middle halftone state, and the middle sub-pixel 10a has the highest brightness level. This eliminates unnaturalness as is conventionally produced when an image with a straight border is displayed, and further improves the gamma characteristic.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2005Date of Patent: December 24, 2013Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masanori Takeuchi, Tomokazu Ohtsubo, Toshihide Tsubata
