  • Patent number: 9489904
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes image signal lines, a plurality of pixel circuits that is connected to the image signal lines, an image signal line driving circuit that is connected to the image signal lines, and sequentially outputs an image signal, a gate line driving circuit that supplies a scanning signal. A period in which the gate line driving circuit supplies a scanning signal to any pixel circuit is a first period in which the image signal is output to the pixel circuit when a polarity of the image signal in a previous frame is different from the polarity in the present frame, and the first period and a second period in which the image signal of a different polarity is supplied before the first period when the polarity in the previous frame is identical with the polarity in the present frame.

  • Patent number: 9070337
    Abstract: Provided is a display device including a driver circuit for controlling supply of charges to an array of cells capable of storing the charges. In the driver circuit, a preceding electrically connecting part (SW221) controlled by a clock signal (CLK1) electrically connects an output signal line of a first circuit (211) having a positive polarity which is a potential higher than a reference potential and an output signal line of a second circuit (212) having a negative polarity which is a potential lower than the reference potential. After a predetermined time period has elapsed, a subsequent electrically connecting part (SW222) controlled by a clock signal (CLK2) electrically connects an output signal line of a third circuit (213) having the positive polarity and an output signal line of a fourth circuit (214) having the negative polarity.

  • Patent number: 8384647
    Abstract: In a driver circuit which controls the supply of charge to cells each of which can store a charge, the EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) which occurs at the time of performing the charge sharing driving can be reduced. A preceding conduction means (SW13) which is controlled in response to a clock signal (CLK1) makes an output signal line corresponding to a first circuit which has positive polarity of a potential higher than a reference potential and an output signal line corresponding to a second circuit which has negative polarity of a potential lower than the reference potential electrically conductive with each other. After a lapse of a predetermined time, a succeeding conduction means (SW23) which is controlled in response to a clock signal (CLK2) makes an output signal line corresponding to a third circuit which has the positive polarity and an output signal line corresponding to a fourth circuit which has the negative polarity electrically conductive with each other.
