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.

A timing generating circuit with low power consumption and a small layout area, a display apparatus including the timing generating circuit as one peripheral driving circuit, and a portable terminal including the display apparatus as a display output section are provided. In the timing generating circuit, which is formed on an insulating substrate and generates output pulses SRFF1out to SRFFnout having different frequencies based on a master clock MCK, a clock generating circuit (11) generates an operating clock having a lower frequency than the master clock MCK frequency. Then, a counter section (12) operates based on this operating clock and successively outputs shifted pulses S/R1out to S/Rmount from shift registers (121-1) to (121-m). An output pulse generating section (13) generates output pulses SF1out to SFnout based on combinations of the shifted pulses S/R1out to S/Rmount.

A liquid crystal display device enabling a reduction in size and costs associated with the system as a whole, starting to display images without image distortion at power on time, and turning the screen off without image retention at power off time, a method of controlling the liquid crystal display device, and a mobile terminal incorporating the liquid crystal display device as a screen display. On a glass substrate (11) provided with a display unit (12), peripheral drive circuits such as an interface circuit (13), a timing generator (14), a reference voltage driver (15), a CS driver (18), a VCOM driver (19), and a voltage regulation circuit (20), together with a horizontal driver (16) and a vertical driver (17) are disposed. When a display reset control pulse PCI is supplied from an external source, a predetermined voltage is written into pixels while a CS voltage and a VCOM voltage adjusted to the same level as that of a pixel voltage are applied to a common-electrode-side. This allows the screen to turn white in a normally white type liquid crystal display, and to turn black in a normally black type liquid crystal display. Image distortion at power on/off time can thus be prevented.
