  • Patent number: 10629152
    Abstract: An image signal preparation circuit receives a serial format original image signal representing an image to be displayed from a host and generates a prepared image signal by changing an order of a plurality of pieces of pixel data constituting each display line of the image depending on a connection relationship between output terminals of a driver IC of a liquid crystal module and source lines (data signal lines) of a display unit. The prepared image signal is input into the driver IC, and the source lines are correctly driven by data signals, respectively, output from the driver IC based on the prepared image signal.

  • Publication number: 20130215111
    Abstract: Provided is a display device 1 for performing two-dimensional display and three-dimensional display of an image, the display device 1 being provided with: a display unit 10 for displaying the image; a plurality of cylindrical convex lenses 2 that are arranged in parallel on the screen of the display unit 10 so that the longitudinal direction thereof is positioned along a straight line that links one end of the screen with the other end; and a display control unit 4 for determining whether the image is to be displayed two-dimensionally or three-dimensionally, depending on the proximity of the longitudinal direction of the lenses 2 to one of the vertical direction and horizontal direction. If the longitudinal direction of the lenses 2 is closer to the vertical direction, the display control unit 4 causes the image to be displayed three-dimensionally. If the longitudinal direction of the lenses 2 is closer to the horizontal direction, the display control unit 4 causes the image to be displayed two-dimensionally.

  • Patent number: 8363195
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display panel (10) includes: an active-matrix substrate (not illustrated), a counter substrate (not illustrated), liquid crystals sandwiched between the active-matrix substrate and the counter substrate; and a plurality of pixels (P) arranged in rows and columns. Each of the rows is provided with a plurality of gate signal lines (12) for supplying scanning signals having different pulse widths from each other, and the pixels of the same row are divided into a plurality of groups according to which of the gate signal lines (12) the pixels are connected to.
