摘要:
An active-matrix-type liquid crystal display device supplies signal potentials to signal lines of a liquid crystal display panel according to a time-division drive method using time-division switches. The low-level potential of select pulses to be supplied from a select pulse generating circuit to CMOS analog switches of the time-division switches is set to be lower than the low-level potential of a signal potential output from a horizontal drive circuit. With this arrangement, even if the signal potential of a non-selected signal line is decreased due to the crosstalk of a signal potential from a selected signal line to the non-selected signal line, the generation of insufficient contrast and non-uniformity of the luminance in the horizontal direction can be prevented. As a consequence, a high image quality is maintained.

When time-division driving, which allows the number of output pins of a driver IC to be reduced, is applied to an active-matrix LCD apparatus, a time-division number is set to an odd number, preferably to the n-th (n: natural number) power of three, and a time-sequential signal (dot inversion signal) output from the driver IC is time-divided by a time-division switch and sent to signal lines 12-1, 12-2, 12-3, . . . to implement complete dot inversion driving.

In the present invention, during a 1H period excluding a blanking period (1HB) constituting a line display period, pixel data pulses of RGB (61B to 61R) are successively supplied for each color to corresponding signal lines for color display of one pixel line. A control circuit (40) of select switches connected to the signal lines (6-1 to 6-n) supplies permission pulses (63B to 63R) for supply of data to signal lines when displaying one color among RGB to select switches (TMG), and turns on the select switch (TMG) of the signal line corresponding to another color to be displayed later in the same line display period during the period of this application by a precharge pulse (62G or 62R) having a time duration shorter than the supply time of the pixel data of the other color (T2 or T3) to previously precharge the signal line of the other color to the predetermined potential. Due to this, sufficient precharging of a signal line which became difficult due to an increase of a load capacitance of the signal line due to higher definition of the image display device and increase in speed of a drive clock thereof can be achieved.

A liquid crystal display device of the active matrix type which prevents residual of charge in liquid crystal picture elements with respect to time. The active matrix liquid crystal display device includes liquid crystal picture elements formed from a liquid crystal layer held between picture element electrodes arranged in a matrix and common electrodes opposing to the picture element electrodes, and picture element transistors corresponding to the liquid crystal picture elements. While a predetermined reference potential is supplied to the common electrode, image signals are applied to the individual picture element electrodes by way of signal lines and picture element transistors to effect ac driving of the liquid crystal picture elements. Discharge means for connecting the common electrodes and the picture element electrodes to an equivalent potential to each other is provided to discharge the charge remaining in the liquid crystal picture elements thereby to prevent the variation of the reference potential.

摘要:
In the structure in which an input signal IN and a reverse-phase signal XIN thereof are externally input, an external IC is required for generating the reverse-phase signal XIN, and the number of required input signal terminals is two. A level shift circuit formed on an insulating substrate, such as a glass substrate, using transistors with large characteristic variations, for example, TFTs with high thresholds Vth, includes a complementary generator unit (11) driven by a first power supply (VCC) having an amplitude voltage equal to the amplitude voltage of a signal externally input from the substrate to generate complementary signals from a single-phase input signal IN. The complementary signals generated by the complementary generator unit (11) are level-shifted by a level shift unit (14). Therefore, it is no longer necessary to externally input the reverse-phase signal XIN.

When a data processing circuit is formed on an insulating substrate by using TFTs, it is difficult to process a data signal having a high data rate, such as digital display data, at a high speed. In a data processing circuit formed on an insulating substrate by using TFTs, a data signal having a small voltage amplitude input in series is increased in level to a data signal having a large voltage amplitude by a level shift circuit (11), the serial data signal having the large voltage amplitude is converted to parallel data signals by a serial-parallel conversion circuit (12), and then, the parallel data signals are reduced in level to data signals having a small voltage amplitude by level shift circuits (13A and 13B). Therefore, high-speed processing can be applied to digital data signals at a low power consumption.
