摘要:
A bistable chiral tilted-homeotropic nematic liquid crystal (BCTHN) display can be switched between the tilted-homeotropic state (TH state) and the twisted state (T state) by using dual frequency liquid crystal material. These two states can be maintained without the application of any electric field. The bistable liquid crystal display does not need high voltage to induce the flow of liquid crystal or break the anchoring energy.

A drive circuit of a liquid crystal display device includes a driver circuit that applies a voltage pulse to a liquid crystal of the liquid crystal display device, and a control circuit that controls the driver circuit to change the liquid crystal to a initial tone and to change the initial tone to a high tone, an intermediate tone, or a low tone. The control circuit sets a tone energy difference so as to be smaller at the intermediate tone than at the high tone close to the initial tone, the tone energy difference being a difference between an application energy of the voltage pulse applied to the liquid crystal of the initial tone to display a predetermined tone and an application energy of the voltage pulse applied to display a tone different from the predetermined tone.

A drive scheme is described for a display capable of gray scale. Multiple two-level pulses are used in conjunction with dynamic relaxation techniques to write pixels ON or OFF and to adjust the gray level of pixels. Only two voltage levels are used, a maximum level U, and a minimum level 0. This reduces the complexity of the electronics so that the only one voltage generator is needed for the display.

Method and apparatus are provided for driving segments of a bistable display. The method may include providing, at the same time, a plurality of independent waveforms corresponding to display data for driving a plurality of segments of the display. The method may include selecting, for each segment, one of the independent driving waveforms. The method may also include determining whether an update of display data has occurred for one of the segments. The method may include selecting a different one of the waveforms to drive the segment if an update has occurred. The method may further include maintaining a currently selected waveform to drive the segment if an update has not occurred.

A driving apparatus includes a voltage applying unit, a light irradiation unit and a resistance control unit. The voltage applying unit forms a voltage applying circuit together with a pair of electrode layers of a photo-addressing type display element. The voltage applying unit applies a voltage between the pair of electrode layers. The light irradiation unit irradiates the photo-addressing type display element with addressing light. The resistance control unit controls a resistance to a current which flows in a direction to reduce a potential difference between the pair of electrode layers to be larger than that during a period in which the voltage applying unit is applying the voltage.
