  • Patent number: 9471188
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device with a touch panel includes: pixel electrodes which are disposed in each pixel disposed in a display region and to which a potential is applied depending on a gradation value; common electrodes which extend in one direction across the display region; detection electrodes which extend in a direction different from the one direction across the display region, form an electric capacitance with driving electrodes that are a part of the common electrodes, and detect a contact position on a panel; a liquid crystal layer that is formed by a liquid crystal composition in which an orientation is changed by an electric field formed by the pixel electrodes and the common electrodes; and a driving pulse output section that applies a driving pulse once to the driving electrodes for detecting contact within two successive horizontal synchronizing periods that are periods of display.

  • Patent number: 9165523
    Abstract: A driver circuit including a DA converting circuit that converts video data input from the outside to a grayscale voltage; an amplifying circuit that amplifies the grayscale voltage; and a switch circuit that selects the grayscale voltage output from the amplifying circuit and a predetermined voltage as a voltage that is output to the image line. When video data indicating a minimum grayscale, the switch circuit outputs the predetermined voltage to the image line, and when video data indicating a grayscale other than the minimum grayscale is input, the switch circuit outputs the grayscale voltage output from the amplifying circuit to the image line. The predetermined voltage allows a voltage of the pixel electrode and a voltage of the counter electrode after passage of the writing of the image voltage to be coincident with each other.
