摘要:
A liquid crystal display device includes pixels, arranged in a two-dimensional matrix on a substrate, for displaying an image, and several types of transistors, fabricated monolithically on the substrate for driving the respective pixels. One transistor in each pixel is juxtaposed on a periphery section of an adjacent pixel. By sharing such sections between adjacent pixels the fabrication of the transistors is simplified with the area occupied by each transistor and the pixel size reduced.

An image display apparatus can be arranged so that a picture element capacity obtains a value provides display data retention of less than 99% by writing same data to a picture element a plurality of times during 1 frame period. This makes it possible to disuse the auxiliary capacity and to improve an aperture ratio. Moreover, with the present invention, an MOS transistor arranged in each picture element as a switching element for driving the picture element, a scan signal line driving circuit and a data signal line driving circuit for transmitting a driving signal based upon display data to the MOS transistor through a data signal line and a scan signal line, and a first frame memory and a second frame memory provided outside the picture element for storing display data to be outputted to a data signal line driving circuit for 1 frame are formed on one substrate. As a result, it is possible to improve package efficiency and lower cost by using a driver monolithic technique.

Each standard unit circuit includes disconnecting means for isolating the standard unit circuit from the driving circuit, and the backup unit circuit includes connecting means for connecting the backup unit circuit to an input signal line and an output signal line of any of the standard unit circuits within a group. The number of the backup unit circuits can be changed in accordance with a conforming ratio of each unit circuit, which makes it possible to eliminate idle backup unit circuits while maintaining a high overall conforming ratio of the driving circuit, thereby enhancing manufacturing efficiencies and reducing manufacturing costs.

Picture elements and driving circuits for driving respective picture elements are monolithically formed on an insulating substrate. A protective circuit is provided for allowing input-output terminals of a driving circuit to conduct when a potential difference of not less than a predetermined value is generated. The protective circuit includes an MOS transistor, and a turn-on voltage thereof is set according to a thickness of a gate insulating layer. The protective circuit is formed on the insulating substrate simultaneously when forming the driving circuits. In this arrangement, because the turn-on voltage is set according to the thickness of the gate insulating layer and the thickness can be easily adjusted, an accurate turn-on voltage can be achieved. Since the arrangement prevents an increase in manufacturing cost, the driving circuits, etc., can be surely protected against static electricity generated in the manufacturing process and the input surge in the normal operation.

A delay detecting section detects the phase difference between a first detection signal as a reference and a second detection signal produced by delaying the first detection signal with part of a data signal line driving circuit itself or part of a circuit formed by the same process as the data signal line driving circuit. A phase adjusting section presumes an internal delay of the data signal line driving circuit, and adjusts the phase difference between a clock signal and start signal, and a video signal so that the data signal line driving circuit samples the video signal at an appropriate timing. These structures prevent a lowering of the image quality due to a difference in the timings of the video signal and sampling signal, and provide an image display device capable of displaying a good-quality image with a simple circuit structure.

A voltage output circuit has decoders, a selecting circuit, a logical circuit and an output circuit in order to select one of plural gradation power source lines for a prescribed period based upon k bits and m bits of an n-bit digital signal. The k bits of the digital signal are converting into 2.sup.k decoded signals by one decoder, and another m bits are converted into 2.sup.m decoded signals by the other decoder. The selecting circuit generates a signal for selecting one of periods which were obtained by dividing one horizontal scanning period into 2.sup.k based upon k-numbered timing signals by using the 2.sup.k decoded signals. The logical circuit generates 2.sup.n signals composed of combinations of the signals from the selecting circuit and the 2.sup.m decoded signals. Moreover, one of the 2.sup.m gradation power source lines is selected by an output switch by using the signal from the logical circuit. As a result, in an image display device using a digital signal as an input video signal, a number of gradation power source lines is reduced and the arrangement of driving circuits is simplified without deteriorating display quality. As a result, a cost of the image display device can be lowered.

An erasing device for a liquid crystal display image of the present invention is furnished with an auxiliary power source for continuously supplying power source to a liquid crystal display panel for a certain period after the main power source of the main body of the liquid crystal display device is turned OFF. Upon input of a power source OFF signal directing to turn OFF the main power source, a driving signal generating circuit and a driver controller light up the liquid crystal display panel entirely on a saturation voltage of the liquid crystal and subsequently shut off the same entirely using the power supply from the auxiliary power source. Consequently, it has become possible to erase an afterimage quickly on an active matrix liquid crystal display panel with a memory maintaining function of a liquid crystal display device, thereby not only upgrading the display quality, but also preventing deterioration of the liquid crystal caused by an application of an abnormal voltage associated with the occurrence of an afterimage.
