Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device has pixels containing first to fourth subpixels (“SPs”) having four different colors, respectively, arranged in a two-by-two matrix. In displaying a font on a pixel composed of three SPs having three different colors, respectively, arranged in three columns of stripes, the SP in the first column of stripes takes on a tone Tx, the SP in the second column of stripes takes on a tone Ty, and the SP in the third column of stripes takes on a tone Tz. Each of the first and fourth SPs takes on a tone which is obtained by performing rounding on (Tx×⅔)+(Ty×⅓)=p and that each of the second and third SPs takes on a tone which is obtained by performing rounding on (Ty×⅓)+(Tz×⅔)=v.

Abstract:
In an active matrix display device having six or more data lines grouped to be connected to one output signal line of a data line drive circuit and including a color filter, the degradation of an image quality due to a parasitic capacitance or the like can be reduced effectively. In an active matrix display device including pixels of three colors having a stripe arrangement or a delta arrangement, n (n denotes a multiple of 3 that is 6 or larger) adjacent data lines DLs form one group and are connected to a source signal output line SO. The ON/OFF of a selection switch ASW provided for each data line DL is controlled so that, among the n data lines forming one group, data lines corresponding to pixels of a color with a contribution to brightness smaller than a contribution of at least another color among the three colors, e.g., blue of RGB, are connected first and last with the source signal output line SO during one horizontal period.
Abstract:
In a gradation voltage generation circuit used in a video signal line driving circuit for driving video signal lines of a liquid crystal display device by time division based on switching control signals, a first variable resistor circuit is connected between one terminal of a voltage divider circuit for generating a gradation voltage group and a power source line for supplying a high-level voltage, and a second variable resistor circuit is connected between the other terminal of the voltage divider circuit and a power source line for supplying a low-level voltage. The resistances of the variable resistor circuits are switched based on the switching control signal. Thus, in the periods in which the video signal lines respectively connected to R, G and B pixel formation portions are driven, gradation voltages that are adapted to the gradation reproducibility for R, G and B are outputted respectively.

Abstract:
A four-color liquid crystal display device has pixels containing first to fourth subpixels (hereinafter abbreviated as “SPs” as needed) having four different colors, respectively, arranged in a two-by-two matrix, the first to fourth SPs being placed in the first row and the first column, in the first row and the second column, in the second row and the second column, and in the second row and the first column, respectively. In displaying a font (i) subjected to subpixel rendering premised on a pixel composed of three SPs having three different colors, respectively, arranged in three columns of stripe, and (ii) specified, regarding a predetermined pixel falling on part of a character edge, that the SP in the first column takes on a tone Tx, that the SP in the second column takes on a tone Ty, and that the SP in the third column takes on a tone Tz, the liquid crystal display device specifies, for the predetermined pixel, that each of the first and fourth SPs takes on a tone which is obtained by performing rounding on (Tx×⅔)+(Ty×⅓)=p and that each of the second and third SPs takes on a tone which is obtained by performing rounding on (Ty×⅓)+(Tz×⅔)=v. This allows the four-color liquid crystal display device to appropriately display a subpixel rendered font (e.g., Clear Type (registered trademark)).
