Abstract:
Pixel circuits 6 have a rectangular shape longer in an extending direction of scanning signal lines than in an extending direction of data signal lines. Three pixel circuits 6 arranged in the extending direction of data signal lines form one pixel. A pixel having three pixel circuits 6 arranged in the order red, green, and blue, a pixel having three pixel circuits 6 arranged in the order green, blue, and red, and a pixel having three pixel circuits 6 arranged in the order blue, red, and green are repeatedly arranged in the extending direction of scanning signal lines. By this, when line inversion drive is performed using a data signal line drive circuit 4, voltages of different polarities are applied to three types of pixel circuits 6 in each line in each frame to cancel out the influence of the polarities of the applied voltages, thereby suppressing a color shift.
Abstract:
A fixing unit 8 is fitted with a rail 28 along which a rail guide provided inside an image forming apparatus can slide. This allows the fixing unit 8 to be extracted out of the image forming apparatus. When the fixing unit 8 is extracted out of the image forming apparatus, a transferring body separating member 26, which has thus far been prevented from rotating by the rail 28, is made to rotate by the force applied by a tension spring 27. An end portion of the transferring body separating member 26 presses a transfer roller bracket 24 and thereby moves a transfer roller 17. Thus, the transfer roller 17 is separated from a photoconductor drum 2.

Abstract:
In a first display period, a light source controlling section controls a backlight to emit light having a given intensity, and in order to display a given gradation in a first region which is a part of the image, a gradation voltage generating section applies a voltage which is in accordance with the given gradation, and in a second display period which is different from the first display period, the light source controlling section controls the backlight to emit light having a lower intensity than the intensity of the given intensity of the light emitted in the first display period, and in order to display the given gradation in a second region which is different from the first region, the gradation voltage generating section applies a higher voltage than the voltage applied to display the given gradation in the first region.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide (i) a display device which, during a display of a moving image and a still image, reduces electric power consumption without causing a deterioration in display quality, and (ii) a method for displaying the display device. In an intermittent drive mode in which driving and a pause of the driving are repeated, an image identification section (6) identifies an input image (image data (DA)) as a still image or a moving image. In a case where the input image is identified as the moving image, a drive/pause control section (7) generates a drive/pause control signal (DSC) in accordance with a period ratio which is in accordance with the moving image. A timing control section (8) generates a driver control signal so that intermittent driving is carried out. Then, a source driver (3) and a gate driver (4) drives a display section (2) so that the drive period and the pause period are repeated in accordance with a predetermined period ratio, so that the input image (DA) is displayed. The drive/pause control section (7) sets a time ratio between the drive period and the pause period so that the time ratio is variable for each of the moving image and the still image.

The present invention causes an oblique line to be smoothly displayed on a liquid crystal display device in which pixels are each constituted by subpixels of four colors arranged in a matrix with two rows and two columns. When the oblique line is displayed, pixels include: a pixel which is not in contact with the oblique edge; and a pixel which is in contact with the oblique edge, supplied with the same data as is supplied to the pixel and different in luminance of a subpixel from the pixel, The pixel having a higher luminance than those of pixels adjacent to the subpixel of the pixel, and the subpixel of the pixel having a lower luminance than that of the subpixel of the pixel.
Abstract:
A video signal line driving circuit includes, for each output terminal TSj, a unit precharge circuit made of a capacitor Cpr and switches SWA1, SWA2, SWB1 and SWB2 for connecting the capacitor Cpr in parallel to a capacitive load of a liquid crystal panel. An OFF period in which first and second output buffers are electrically disconnected from the video signal line is provided between a P period in which a positive voltage is to be applied from the first output buffer in the video signal line driving circuit to the video signal lines (capacitive load) and an N period in which a negative voltage is to be applied from the second output buffer. A first and a second precharge period are set within this OFF period. In the first precharge period, the capacitor Cpr is connected in parallel to the capacitive load of the liquid crystal panel, and in the second precharge period, the capacitor Cpr is connected in parallel to the capacitive load with an orientation that is opposite to the orientation in the first precharge period.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a video signal line drive circuit of a display device. An object of the present invention is to, when gradation conversion is performed in the display device using an error diffusion method, provide a display with a smooth gradation change even at boundaries of display blocks. In an error diffusion operation circuit (36) of a source driver unit (302), an error diffusion process is performed for each pixel based on, in addition to image data (Da) for a display block of the source driver unit (302), image data (Da) for areas near boundaries between the display block of the source driver unit (302) and display blocks of source driver units (301, 303) in previous and subsequent stages. A video signal is generated based on error-diffused image data (Db) generated by the error diffusion process.
Abstract:
In a driving method for driving a liquid crystal display device, each of frame periods is divided into a drive period in which a counter electrode is driven, and a drive suspension period in which the counter electrode is not driven. During the drive period, a data signal is outputted to a video signal line driving circuit at a frequency corresponding to a driving frequency for driving the counter electrode. During the drive suspension period, the outputting of the data signal is stopped. Thus, there are provided a liquid crystal display device and a driving method therefor, in which user aggravating sound is prevented without increasing power consumption.
