Abstract: A speech detection method is presented, which includes the following steps. A first voice captured device samples a first signal and a second voice captured device samples a second signal. The first voice captured device is closer to a speech signal source than the second voice captured device. A first energy corresponding to the first signal within an interval is calculated, a second energy corresponding to the second signal within the interval is calculated, and a first ratio is calculated according to the first energy and the second energy. The first ratio is transformed into a second ratio. A threshold value is set. It is determined whether the speech signal source is detected by comparing the second ratio and the threshold value.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display includes a pixel matrix having a plurality of pixels and a common voltage driver. Each pixel includes a TFT, a pixel electrode, and a common electrode. The pixels are defined as a first pixel group and a second pixel group. The pixels in the first pixel group all have a first polarity in each frame period, the pixels in the second pixel group all have a second polarity in each frame period, and the first polarity and the second polarity are different. The common voltage driver is configured for providing a first common voltage to the common electrodes of the pixels in the first pixel group and providing a second common voltage to the common electrodes of the pixels in the second pixel group. The first common voltage and the second common voltage are alternating voltages, and have inverse phases.
