  • Patent number: 6606141
    Abstract: Disclosed is a manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display device that prevents luminance change in a sub-pixel where exposed portions overlap each other. A substrate is dividedly exposed in patterning a TFT array substrate of a liquid crystal display device. In an exposure process of using a resist, the substrate is divided into a plurality of divided regions. The portion subjected to a double exposure is set in a nonlinear manner within the sub-pixel. By providing such an arrangement, the portion subjected to double exposure is set so as not to overlap a storage capacitor or a signal line.

  • Patent number: 6473077
    Abstract: To prevent the display image from becoming unclear due to an overlap of the afterimage of the display image of the preceding frame period with the display image of the current frame period so that the image quality of the motion picture may be improved, a display apparatus includes a display surface having a plurality of pixel lines and a write circuit adapted to sequentially write an image into each of said plurality of pixel lines. The write circuit writes, during a time period for writing said image into at least one pixel line, a black color into another pixel line. The another pixel line is separated from the at least one pixel line by a predetermined distance. The write circuit writes the black color into a plurality of pixel lines separated from the at least one gate line by the predetermined distance.
