  • Patent number: 11967294
    Abstract: A common electrode driver includes an inverting amplifier including a first resistor, a second resistor, and an operational amplifier, and a resistance ratio adjustment circuit that adjusts, in accordance with a length of one horizontal scan period, a resistance ratio being a ratio of a resistance value of the second resistor to a resistance value of the first resistor. A feedback voltage is provided to one end of the first resistor. The resistance ratio adjustment circuit sets the resistance ratio when second driving is performed, in which a length of one horizontal scan period is a second time longer than a first time, to be smaller than the resistance ratio when first driving is performed, in which a length of one horizontal scan period is the first time.

  • Patent number: 10896650
    Abstract: A short-circuiting circuit short-circuits source bus lines such that a sum of numbers assigned to two source bus lines forming each set in each group is equal for all sets when it is assumed that K consecutive source bus lines (K is an even number greater than or equal to 4) form one group and numbers from 1 to K are assigned to the K source bus lines. For example, with four consecutive source bus lines forming one group, in each group, the short-circuiting circuit short-circuits the first and fourth source bus lines and short-circuits the second and third source bus lines.

  • Patent number: 10564916
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal panel and a control unit. The control unit stores a plurality of setting values of a voltage applied to a counter electrode. The setting value is a value of the applied voltage at which variation in luminance appears at a portion located apart from a reference portion that is a region in the liquid crystal panel.

  • Publication number: 20190164512
    Abstract: There is provided a source driver (video signal line drive circuit) using a charge sharing system that achieves lower power consumption than a conventional case. A short-circuiting circuit short-circuits source bus lines such that a sum of numbers assigned to two source bus lines forming each set in each group is equal for all sets when it is assumed that K consecutive source bus lines (K is an even number greater than or equal to 4) form one group and numbers from 1 to K are assigned to the K source bus lines. For example, with four consecutive source bus lines forming one group, in each group, the short-circuiting circuit short-circuits the first and fourth source bus lines and short-circuits the second and third source bus lines.

  • Patent number: 8094108
    Abstract: A gradation voltage adjustment section for increasing a positive gradation voltage VHX of an X-th gradation and a negative gradation voltage of the X-th gradation so that the increment corresponds to a charge pull-in amount ?V is provided in a gradation voltage generation circuit of each source driver. In at least one embodiment, a center value between the positive and negative gradation voltages is adjusted for each driver in accordance with a slant of the charge pull-in amount ?V in a direction of a gate signal line, thereby suppressing a flicker without varying a gradation characteristic. Further, a center value between the positive and negative gradation voltages is adjusted for each horizontal line or for every plural lines in a single frame in accordance with a horizontal direction deviation and a vertical direction deviation of the charge pull-in amount ?V in a transfer block, thereby suppressing a flicker without varying a gradation characteristic.
