Abstract:
There is provided an image display device, in which a pixel includes sub-pixels of four or more colors that include a color in addition to the three primary colors, and which can display a high-quality image in which false colors or artifacts are suppressed. The image display device includes a pixel area in which a plurality of pixels P are arranged in a matrix shape, and each of the pixels P includes m (m is an integer which is equal to or greater than 4) sub-pixels SP. When it is assumed that the colors of the m sub-pixels SP included in one pixel are C1, C2, . . . , and Cm, the m sub-pixels SP which are sequentially arrayed from an arbitrary position include all of the colors of C1, C2, . . . , and Cm in both the vertical direction and the horizontal direction in the pixel area.

Abstract:
A display panel includes: a gate driver (13), which supplies gate signals to a plurality of gate bus lines (GL1 to GLN); a source driver (12), which supplies source signals to a plurality of source bus lines (SL1 to SLM); a plurality of auxiliary capacitor bus lines (CSL1 to CSLN); and an auxiliary capacitor driver (14) which, in a single scanning period (TV) from a point in time where the gate driver (13) supplies a gate bus line (GLn) with a conducting signal to a point in time where the gate driver (13) supplies the conducting signal next, supplies an auxiliary capacitor bus line (CSLn) with a rectangular voltage signal (#CSLn) in synchronization with the conducting signal, the rectangular voltage signal (#CSLn) being composed of at least a first voltage level (VCS1) and a second voltage level (VCS2) that is different from the first voltage level. This allows the display panel to suppress the phenomenon of blurring of moving images while suppressing increase in manufacturing cost and in power consumption.
Abstract:
In one embodiment of the present invention, when a still image is displayed, applied voltages respectively corresponding to a total of n (n being an integer of not less than 4) types of gradation 0 to (n−1) are outputted to pixels. On the other hand, when a moving image is displayed, an applied voltage corresponding to a predetermined gradation m (1≦m≦(n−2)) is applied to the pixels instead of applied voltages respectively corresponding to gradations of less than the predetermined gradation m.

Abstract:
In one embodiment of the present application, a memory stores a lookup table storing, in accordance with a combination of a value of a video signal of a current frame and a value of a video signal of a previous frame, each of correction values, the correction values in each of which a temporal change of a video signal is enhanced. A correcting circuit carries out, with respect to a correction value selected from the lookup table, a predetermined correcting operation in accordance with a polarity of a voltage to be applied to each of data signal lines S1 through Sm, with the use of a correction coefficient which is set based on properties of liquid crystal. Thus found is a corrected video signal in accordance with a positive or negative polarity. This makes it possible to find, with less memory capacity, an optimum corrected video signal in accordance with a polarity of a voltage to be applied to a data signal line.
Abstract:
An image characteristic judgement circuit analyzes input image data and obtains first brightness data indicating brightness of a backlight within a single vertical period and image characteristic data corresponding to the first brightness data. In at least one embodiment, an image data conversion circuit performs conversion to the input image data according to the image characteristic data and outputs the image data after the conversion to a liquid crystal panel. A period-by-period brightness calculation circuit obtains, based on the first brightness data, second brightness data indicating brightness of the backlight within each of a plurality of periods into which the single vertical period is divided. A brightness setting circuit 18 controls the brightness of the backlight using the second brightness data. Flickers in a screen are reduced by changing the brightness of the backlight within a single vertical period in this manner.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal panel having pixel-forming portions that are assigned dispersedly to two mutually adjacent rows of pixels sandwiching the scanning signal line Lg from above and below, in a horizontally periodical pattern having a cycle of “up down, up” or “down, up, down” as to which of the up row and the down row is selected in the assignment of three pixel electrodes. This staggered structure provides a quasi dot inversion driving method while reducing vertical shadow when displaying e.g. the “checker back”.
Abstract:
The timing controller determines the number of data lanes (11, 12, 13), which are used to transfer data, based on information in relation to an amount of data to be transferred during a predetermined time period. Out of the plurality of data lanes (11, 12, 13), the determined number of data lane(s) (11, 12, 13) are used to transfer data. Further, a data lane(s) (11, 12, 13) which is not used in the data transfer is deactivated.
Abstract:
A drive circuit of a liquid crystal display device performs line inversion drive based on a correction video signal V. A look-up table (12) includes two types of tables having stored therein correction values for use in overshoot drive. Based on a current-frame video signal X, a previous-frame video signal Y stored in a frame memory (11), and a polarity-reversing signal REV, a correction process portion (13) reads a correction value from the look-up table (12), and outputs the correction value being read as the correction video signal V. In such a manner, a correcting circuit (10) is used to control the degree of overshoot in accordance with the polarity-reversing signal REV. Thus, it is possible to suitably control the change in pixel brightness regardless of the polarity of the applied voltage, thereby preventing any fringes from being generated while displaying moving images.
