  • Liquid crystal display device
    Patent number: 7145535
    Abstract: A liquid crystal panel exhibits an extreme value of transmittance in the voltage-transmittance characteristic in response to a voltage that is equal to or greater than the highest gray level voltage. A driving circuit supplies, to the liquid crystal panel, a predetermined driving voltage that is obtained by overshooting a gray level voltage corresponding to an input image signal of the current vertical period according to a combination of an input image signal of the previous vertical period and the input image signal of the current vertical period.
    Type: Grant
