    摘要: A precharge circuit is composed of (a) a reference signal input section, to which at least one precharge reference potential is inputted, (b) a control signal input section, to which at least one control signal is inputted, (c) a plurality of signal delay sections for sequentially delaying an output of the control signal input section, and (d) a reference signal switching section for switching, in accordance with outputs of the signal delay sections, between a state of outputting the precharge reference potential of the reference signal input section to each of the data signal lines and a state of non-outputting the same thereto. With this arrangement, the precharge control signal is sequentially delayed within the precharge circuit by the delay circuits composed of inverter circuits or the like, so that timings at which the precharge reference potential is written in the data signal lines are dispersed. By sequentially delaying the control signal within the precharge circuit, reduction of power consumption and excellent image display are realized.

    摘要: A CMOS logical circuit comprises two electric current paths each of which has circuits consisting of n-type and p-type transistors. In a circuit consisting of n-type or p-type transistors, one electric current path is provided with a circuit having the same construction as that of a circuit having an n-type transistor of a CMOS logical circuit outputting a logical operation result similar to that of this logical circuit, and the other electric current path is provided with a circuit having the same construction as that of a circuit having a p-type transistor of the CMOS logical circuit outputting a logical operation result similar to that of this logical circuit. In another circuit consisting of the other channel type, a gate electrode of the transistor provided on the one electric current path and that of the transistor provided on the other electric current path are connected to drain electrodes of the counterparts. According to the construction, the amplitude of an input signal can be made smaller than a supply voltage of the logical circuit.

    摘要: Before a potential of counter electrode is changed, a potential holding circuit fixedly holds potentials of data signal lines S during a non-selective period of scanning signal lines G. This prevents the potentials of the data signal lines S from being an undesirably large potential, which is caused by coupling capacitors between the counter electrode and each data signal line S, whereby it is possible to supply to the pixel capacitor an electric charge corresponding to a gradation to be displayed, by using the relatively low potentials of the data signal lines S. This lowers a power supply voltage of a data signal driving circuit SD, thus reducing the electric power consumption. In short, with this arrangement, a liquid crystal display device can perform an opposed AC drive for line-inversion drive, frame-inversion drive and the like, by low power supply voltage of the data signal line driving circuit SD, thereby reducing the electric power consumption.

    摘要: A potential of a data signal line S during a scanning period is charged to a substantially intermediate potential of a data signal at a corresponding frame. Thus, extremely large dispersion does not occur in a potential of each pixel capacitor with respect to a potential of the data signal line S, so that it is possible to restrict dispersion of a leak current flowing via an active element of each pixel. Thus, potential variation of a pixel PIX is reduced, so that it is possible to improve display quality during a non-scanning period. That is, in an active-matrix-type liquid crystal display, when a frame frequency is reduced by setting the non-scanning period to be sufficiently larger than a scanning period while a standby image is being displayed so as to realize low power consumption, the display quality is improved.

    摘要: A control signal generating circuit CTL for controlling the writing into pixels PIX instructs a data signal line drive circuit SD2, which is for driving pixels in a non-display area, to write a voltage VB or a voltage VW which are for non-displaying, not only in the first frame but also once in a predetermined number of frames. In other words, the pixels in the display area is refreshed at intervals longer than those in the case of refreshing the pixels in each frame. Thus, even if the mobility of an active element is high and the leak current on the occasion of OFF-state is large, or even if a large amount of electric charge is accumulated because of the photoelectric effect due to the use of a backlight, it is possible to prevent unnecessary displaying on the display area, which is caused because the writing into the pixels in the display area influences on the pixels in the non-display area, and hence it is possible to improve the quality of partial displaying, while restraining the power consumption.

    摘要: In a shift register provided with flip-flops that operate in synchronism with a clock signal, and a switching means, which is opened and closed in response to an output of the preceding stage of each of the flip-flops, is installed. The clock signal is selectively inputted by the switching means, and the selected clock signal is inverted and used as a shift register output from each of the stages. Moreover, two kinds of clock signals, each of which has a duty ratio of not more than 50% and which have no overlapped portions in their low-level periods, are used so as to prevent the outputs of the shift-register from overlapping each other. Thus, it is possible to provide a shift register which is preferably used for a driving circuit of an image display device, can miniaturize the driving circuit, and can desirably change the pulse width of the output signal, and also to provide an image display device using such a shift register.
