Patent number: 8411027Abstract: A plurality of scanning signal lines GLn divided into groups, and each group is made up of three scanning signal lines GLnR, GLnG and GLnB, and a plurality of pixels are divided into pixel blocks, and each pixel block is made up of three pixels PR (n, m), PG (n, m) and PB (n, m) respectively connected to the scanning signal lines GLnR, GLnG and GLnB. These pixels PR (n, m), PG (n, m) and PB (n, m) are connected to a common data signal line SLm. To the scanning signal lines GLnR, GLnG, GLnB, scanning pulses are sequentially outputted to the scanning signal lines GLnR, GLnG and GLnB from shift registers SRnR, SRnG and SRnB, and video signals for R, G and B are outputted to the data signal line SLm from a driver IC by time division.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2009Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masakazu Satoh, Hajime Washio, Sadahiko Yasukawa

Patent number: 6628348Abstract: A plasma address electrooptical device is provided, wherein the distance between a liquid crystal drive electrode 6a and an adjacent liquid crystal drive electrode 6b is set to be equal to or greater than the distance between the lower surface of said liquid crystal drive electrode 6a and the lower surface of a dielectric layer 3. Moreover, by providing additional electrodes between liquid crystal drive electrodes of the plasma address electrooptical device, the display leakage to adjacent pixels is reduced even further.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2000Date of Patent: September 30, 2003Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Osamu Sakai, Sadahiko Yasukawa, Kazuhiko Inoguchi

Patent number: 5805130Abstract: In a liquid crystal display device having a simple matrix liquid crystal display panel including a plurality of scanning electrodes disposed in parallel with each other and a plurality of data electrodes disposed in parallel with each other so as to cross the scanning electrodes, the scanning electrodes are divided into a predetermined number of sub-groups, and each sub-group is successively driven by utilizing an orthogonal function. For a selection, a signal having an electric potential of .+-.Vr, which is a selection pulse string according to the orthogonal function, is applied to the respective scanning electrodes as a scanning electrode driving signal. For a non-selection, a signal having an electric potential of 0 is applied to the respective scanning electrodes as the scanning electrode driving signal.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 1995Date of Patent: September 8, 1998Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kunihiko Yamamoto, Shinya Takahashi, Hiroyuki Furukawa, Sadahiko Yasukawa, Yasukuni Yamane, Yutaka Ishii
