Patent number: 6057819Abstract: A liquid crystal display apparatus is provided in which crosstalk (after-image extending from a line displayed on the screen) is eliminated. Drive circuitry used in the above type of apparatus is also provided. A delay circuit divides an alternating-current (AC) signal generated by an alternating-current (AC) signal circuit into two signals, i.e., a common AC signal (DF COM) and a segment AC signal (DF SEG). One signal is delayed later than the other. When the common AC signal is delayed later than the segment AC signal, white crosstalk (which is a white bar having a brightness level higher than a white background, appearing on the line extending from a narrow black bar displayed on the screen) is eliminated from the screen.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 1997Date of Patent: May 2, 2000Assignee: Alps Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takehiko Sone, Takehiro Ishikawa
