  • Patent number: 6980192
    Abstract: An integrated circuit including a liquid crystal display has a multi-port data output section from which output signals are arranged with respect to a data input signal. Points of changing the signals with respect to a time base are set with time delays that lag behind one another during one period of a reference internal clock signal to reduce the number of simultaneous changes of output signals. The electromagnetic field noise is reduced by a LCD driver when display data are transferred from a LCD timing controller to a source drive IC. The driver includes TFT drive and display timing control circuits that transfer red, green and blue color display data formed of plural bits to the TFT drive circuit for each bit unit formed of plural bits, optionally selected from each of the color display data. A delay unit in the display timing control circuit delays the transfer timing among bit units. A dedicated IC supplies image data to a source driver IC that drives a display section.

    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device which can reduce the persistence of vision is provided. All gate lines are divided into a plurality of blocks and then an image data writing operation which selects respective gate lines for image display and supplies image data signals corresponding to respective gate lines to source lines and a non-image data writing operation which simultaneously selects all gate lines for each block and supplies non-image data signals to the source lines are performed. In the signal processing of the gate lines, immediately before the image data writing operation of the preceding block, the non-image data writing processing is selected, and in the signal processing of the source lines, the image data signals are cumulatively delayed by an amount corresponding to the non-image data signal insertion period for every block during one frame period or during one field period.
