  • Patent number: 8488092
    Abstract: An array substrate including: a pixel defined by both a scanning line and a signal line intersecting with the scanning line, wherein a display area on a substrate includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix shape, wherein the pixel includes: a switching device; a lower electrode that is connected to the switching device; an insulating film that is formed on the lower electrode; and an upper electrode that is formed on the insulating film to generate a fringe electric field between the lower electrode and the upper electrode, and wherein, in an area where the upper electrode is not formed and light is not transmitted, a contact hole is provided on a conducting pattern having the same potential as the lower electrode, by removing the insulating film.

  • Patent number: 7688298
    Abstract: A pulse number control circuit inputs, to a charge pump circuit, pulses of a number according to digital data constituted of weighted data bits. The charge pump circuit includes a pump capacitor connected between a first node to which the pulses are input and a second node, a switch element connected between the second node and an output node, and a bias circuit. According to a change of a voltage on the output node, the bias circuit changes a voltage on the second node with the same polarity.
