  • Liquid crystal display device
    Patent number: 7106284
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes a signal conversion part (101), a drive pulse generation part (102), a source driver (103), a gate driver (1704), and a multiplexer part (1706). In addition, between the source driver (103) and a display region part (1705) there is provided an intersection part (204) where, when source lines (S1, S2, S3, S4, . . . ) in the display region part are divided into groups each including four source lines, lines that correspond to two source lines (S2 and S3) located the second and third from an end in each group intersect each other. With the liquid crystal display device using the multiplexer part for switching a plurality of source lines in a time-sharing manner, the degradation of the display quality of pixels caused by, for example, an insufficient writing capability to the pixels is improved.

  • Liquid crystal display device and method of driving the same
    Publication number: 20060077157
    Abstract: A signal converting section increases a transfer rate of an input image signal to be supplied to a liquid crystal panel and, at the same time, also inserts a non-image signal for applying a predetermined voltage to liquid-crystal cells in a space of the input image signal and supplies it as a picture-element signal to a source driver. To each picture cell, an input image signal and a non-image signal are sequentially written with positive or negative polarity. For all picture elements, after the input image signal is written, the non-image signal equal in polarity to the input image signal is always written. Furthermore, after the non-image signal is written, an image signal opposite in polarity to the non-image signal is always written. Thus, when an image is displayed on the liquid crystal panel in OCB mode, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of back transition and carry out image display evenly.
