  • Patent number: 7382343
    Abstract: Polarity patterns (polarity pattern signal POL) are stored in a ROM in a polarity pattern controlling portion. Then, the polarity pattern is changed according to applications of a liquid crystal display panel. Since the polarity pattern is stored in the ROM, the polarity pattern can be changed without modification of a hardware. Also, two sets of polarity patterns or more are stored in the ROM, and then any one polarity pattern can be output according to the application. In addition, the polarity pattern signal POL and image signals RGB are compared with each other, and then the polarity pattern which is to be read from the ROM is switched according to the result.

  • Patent number: 5999158
    Abstract: A drive circuit for a display device including a display panel for displaying an image line by line has a data register. The data register is used to store optional data in response to a control signal, to overwrite the stored optional data with display data, and to prepare display data for a given line of the display panel. The data prepared in the data register is transferred to the display panel to display the given line of the display panel. The drive circuit is capable of supplementing display data if the display data is improper for the display, thereby securing the quality of the displayed images.

  • Patent number: 5956007
    Abstract: A driving circuit for driving an LCD, using frame modulation, includes: a data converting circuit for frame modulation having at least two averaged patterns for use in averaging brightness during frame modulation and converting display data using the averaged patterns and a display data detecting circuit for detecting the logical states of at least two leading dots specified in said display data. The data converting circuit for frame modulation controls switching of the at least two averaged patterns according to the result of detection. This configuration makes it possible to substantially prevent the occurrence of flickers irrespective of the display pattern. This contributes to realization of an excellent display.
