摘要:
When a display panel is in contact with the pen tip of an input pen, an infrared receiver and at least two ultrasonic receivers, provided on the display panel, receive respectively an infrared signal and an ultrasonic signal simultaneously transmitted from an infrared transmitter and an ultrasonic transmitter, and computes the contact position of the pen tip on the display panel from a result, containing a time delay, of the ultrasonic receiver receiving the ultrasonic signal with reference to a time when infrared signal is received. The input pen includes a piezoelectric element sensing pen pressure when the pen tip is in contact with the display panel and a microcomputer controlling a infrared transmitter to transmit an infrared signal which changes in accordance with the pen pressure. Thus, in ultrasonic pen input operation, information on the sensed pen pressure is wirelessly transmitted to the device main body, so as to provide a pen input/display device realizing multifunctional, high performance pen input operation based on the pen pressure information in a simple manner.

The invention concerns an input device including an input receiving panel and a stylus enabling an input, the input device sensing an input by means of capacitive coupling between a panel electrode on the input receiving panel and a stylus electrode on the stylus, and includes: a signal supply section supplying an input sensing signal to the panel electrode; a signal detecting circuit detecting a signal generated in the stylus electrode; and an input sensing section comparing the input sensing signal with the detection signal detected by the signal detecting circuit and sensing an input based on a result of the comparison. An input-sensing digital code is superimposed on the input sensing signal. This allows for further reduction in the possibility of false sensing caused by noise than conventional techniques.

It is an object of the invention to reduce a leakage low-frequency electric field from a panel section of a matrix type. In the case where a panel section has a usual current structure in which the panel section has a single common electrode elongating over the whole of the display region of the panel section, the maximum voltage difference of a reference signal supplied to the common electrode is defined to be 0.3678×x−0.6136 (wherein x is the area of the display region) or less. In the case where the panel section has the so-called counter source structure and a plurality of column electrodes, the maximum voltage difference of a reference signal supplied to the column electrodes is defined to be ax−b (wherein a=0.3565×y−0.6829, b=−0.0937y+0.7091, and y is a ratio of the area of all the column electrodes to the area of the display region) or less. In the case where a panel section has the counter source structure, the average area per unit length of one part of the column electrode opposed to a signal line is smaller than the average area per unit length of the remaining part of the column electrode other than the one part.

A pen input unit includes ultrasonic receivers that receive an ultrasonic signal transmitted from an ultrasonic transmitter of an input pen. Based on the received signal, the distance (distance value) of the ultrasonic transmitter from each of the ultrasonic receivers is determined. The distance value is used for the display control of the display panel, and is supplied to a reception sensitivity control section. The reception sensitivity control section carries out reception sensitivity control for reducing a difference in level of the respective waveforms received by the ultrasonic receivers. As a result, a pen input display device of an ultrasonic pen input system is provided that prevents errors over the entire input area of the display panel without increasing power consumption or impairing operability of pen entry.

A liquid crystal display device has a liquid crystal layer between a glass substrate and a counter substrate. A TFT and scanning lines which control the TFT are provided on the glass substrate. On the counter substrate, a gradation signal line which is connected to a counter electrode applying a voltage to the liquid crystal layer is provided opposite to the scanning lines. A sealing section for sealing the liquid crystal of the liquid crystal layer is provided while enclosing the display area between the glass substrate and the counter substrate. The sealing section has conductive particles. Upper contact pads connected to the gradation signal lines and lower contact pads on the glass substrate are electrically connected via the conductive particles. This realizes a liquid crystal display device with a smaller frame and makes the mounting compact in size without causing poor connection due to line breakage.

A display device includes: a first substrate including data electrodes and first and second groups of connecting pads; a second substrate, which faces the first substrate and which includes data signal input terminals, a spare line, and third and fourth groups of connecting pads opposed to the first and second groups of connecting pads, respectively; and a display medium layer interposed between the first and second substrates. The data signal input terminals are connected to the third group of connecting pads. In case of disconnection, a data signal to be supplied to one of the data electrodes may be input through the spare line. The fourth group of connecting pads crosses the spare line with an insulating layer interposed between them. Each pair of connecting pads in the first and third groups or the second and fourth groups is electrically connected together with an anisotropic conductive material.

As a method of driving a liquid crystal display device, the average voltage of reference line drive voltages Vcom for AC-driving a liquid crystal is set higher than the average voltage of signal line drive voltage V0. Moreover, when displaying a plurality of gray scales, the respective voltages are set so that the average voltage of the signal line drive voltages is lowered with a decrease in a voltage difference to be applied to the liquid crystal as an absolute value. In a liquid crystal display device of an opposing signal line structure, a high-quality image display is achieved by compensating for the non-symmetry of the transmissivity of the liquid crystal with respect to positive and negative drive voltages to prevent flickering and image persistence.

In an image display device which employs pulse width modulation driving, a voltage which is less than a voltage supplied to signal lines is applied to pixel electrodes. Tones are displayed by shifting phases of waveforms of the signal lines and scanning lines, and polarities of pixels in a signal line direction are inverted alternately. This prevents increase in power consumption which is caused by pulse intervals which become too small at high tone levels, in addition to preventing change in tone level due to external factors such as temperature, or signal delays in a driver or wiring.

A wave A1 is used as a signal inputted to a liquid crystal panel via an operational amplifier OP. The wave A1 is a superimposed wave made up of, for example, a first rectangular wave to be the base of a driving signal and a second wave capable of increasing respective amplitudes of the first wave in rising and falling directions. Because a wave A3 is superimposed, using the wave A1 as the driving signal of the liquid crystal panel surely results in increase in a quantity of charges with which respective pixels of the liquid crystal panel are supplied at early stages of writing, more than simply applying the wave A2 to the liquid crystal panel. Consequently, even when a charge supplying ability of a reference voltage line is considerably low, a desired charging quantity can surely be obtained in respective pixels within desired writing time, thereby preventing crosstalk having different degrees depending on a location even when a charge supplying ability for the respective pixels of the liquid crystal panel is considerably low.

Input position is accurately detected. In an x-detection period of a non-display period, a source drive circuit simultaneously applies to all signal wiring lines a pulse of a peak value proportional to a distance from a gate drive circuit. A coordinate detection circuit obtains an x-coordinate on the basis of a voltage induced at a pen corresponding to the peak value (x-coordinate) of the applied pulse. In a y-detection period, a pulse generation circuit applies one pulse to a common line. The pen detects a potential variation in amplitude proportional to a distance (y-coordinate) from the source drive circuit, generated approximately simultaneously on all the signal wiring lines via a capacitance. The coordinate detection circuit obtains the y-coordinate similarly to the case of x-coordinate detection.
