摘要:
The present invention is directed to improve efficiency in use of a memory for storing display data which is used for an overdrive process. A display driver for driving a display device compresses image display data, stores the compressed data into a memory, and generates a preceding frame by decompressing the data read from the memory. A setting unit divides a display screen of the display device into, for example, a first region as a center part and a second region as a peripheral part. An overdrive computing unit generates overdrive display data in response to a present-time frame and the preceding frame, compresses the image display data in the first and second regions at first and second data compression ratios of small and large values, respectively, and stores the compressed data into the memory. By saving the space of the memory, the picture quality in the first region is improved.

In a display device and a display driver, when a grayscale of a display image is equal to or lower than a specific grayscale value obtained from a histogram of the display image, a display grayscale is extended with a linear function. On the other hand, when a grayscale of a display image is equal to or higher than the specific grayscale value, histogram equalization of a part higher than the specific grayscale value is performed, and the display grayscale is extended with a non-linear function obtained from the histogram equalization.

A liquid crystal driving device is provided, which can reduce the problem of contrast lowering of the liquid crystal display screen due to the decrease of the driving current of LED, by the control which is performed in order to cope with the decrease of the maximum rated current of LED as a light source of the backlight at a high temperature. The liquid crystal driving device includes a liquid crystal driving circuit, a backlight control unit, and display data expansion circuits. The liquid crystal driving circuit generates a liquid crystal driving signal to be supplied to a liquid crystal display panel in response to display data. The backlight control unit reduces driving current of the light emitting diode as a light source of the backlight module to illuminate the liquid crystal display panel, in response to the temperature rise of the liquid crystal display panel. The display data expansion circuit, in response to the temperature rise of the liquid crystal display panel, performs the data expansion of the display data, and compensates the contrast lowering of the liquid crystal display panel due to the dimming of the backlight module with the temperature rise of the liquid crystal display panel.

The display unit can reduce the electric power consumed by the process of calculating an adjustment coefficient for display data, as typified by gradient control, and it can be readily adapted even to a display panel with a higher resolution. The display unit includes: a plurality of driving units arrayed in parallel and each operable to output a drive signal to a display panel; a plurality of first calculation units, and a plurality of display RAMs, each paired with one first calculation unit, the pairs of the first calculation units and display RAMs laid out along a direction of the parallel array of the driving units; and a second calculation unit which distributes display data supplied from outside to the display RAMs, receives display data from the display RAMs in parallel to analyze a histogram of tone distribution of pixel data corresponding to one screen, and calculates the adjustment coefficient based on a result of the analysis. In the display unit, the adjustment coefficient thus calculated is sent back to the first calculation units. The first calculation unit performs a calculation using display data read from the corresponding display RAM and the adjustment coefficient thereby to create drive data for the display panel.

A liquid crystal driving device includes a liquid crystal controller and specific color expansion circuits. The liquid crystal controller generates a liquid crystal drive signal to be supplied to a liquid crystal display panel in response to display data. The specific color expansion circuits generate an image output signal from a low-intensity image input signal corresponding to a specific color by intensifying a gradation using a specified factor. The specific color expansion circuits generate an image output signal from a high-intensity image input signal corresponding to a specific color by intensifying a gradation using another small factor. The image output signal is appropriately intensified by the specific color expansion circuits and is supplied as display data to the liquid crystal controller.

A liquid crystal display device includes, in one of an even row and an odd row of a liquid crystal panel, a switch for short-circuiting, for example, an even signal line and an odd signal line adjacent on the left side to the even signal line, and a switch for short-circuiting the even signal line and an odd signal line adjacent on the right side to the even signal line provided at an output part of the signal-line driver. By controlling these switches, enlarged display equivalent to the bilinear processing is realized in a horizontal direction. By scanning two scanning lines simultaneously, simple enlarged display is realized in a vertical direction on the panel. Further, by stopping supply of a steady current to an operational amplifier applying data voltage to the even signal line, enlarged display at a low cost and at low power consumption is realized.

Provided is a touch sensor panel which can increase the detection sensitivity of a touch relatively readily. The touch sensor panel controller supplies drive electrodes of a touch sensor panel with a high-voltage AC drive signal with its low level set to a negative voltage and drives them. The time of change of a drive waveform supplied to the drive electrodes of the touch sensor panel is shifted relative to the time of change of a drive waveform supplied to a display scan electrode. The touch sensor panel controller uses a charge pump in synchronization with clock signals of more than one phase to produce a high drive voltage to activate drive electrodes of the touch sensor panel, and the clock signals of more than one phase are initialized each time the drive electrode is subjected to AC pulse driving.

A display driver having a first mode where a number of colors to be displayed is smaller than a predetermined number and a second mode where a number of colors to be displayed is equal to or larger than the predetermined number. A generation circuit generates gray scale voltages having a plurality of levels for positive polarity and negative polarity. In the first mode, the generation circuit decreases a current flowing into an internal circuit which generates a gray scale voltage of an intermediate level other than two gray scale voltages of a lowest and a highest level, in comparison to a current flowing in the second mode. In the first mode, the selection circuit selects a gray scale voltage in accordance with the display data, from the two gray scale voltages of the lowest and the highest level gray scale voltage which are generated from the generation circuit.

The present invention is directed to reduce power consumption in a standby operation period as a period of holding display in a no-power state. An electronic paper display has an electronic paper display panel, a display driver/controller, a battery, and a booster power source circuit. The display panel can display data by writing display data and, after that, can hold the display in a no-power state. The booster power source circuit generates a boosted power source voltage by an operation of boosting power source voltage from the battery, and the display driver/controller executes the writing of the displayed data to the display panel by using the boosted power source voltage. In the following standby operation period in which the display panel holds the display in the no-power state, the boosting operation of the booster power source circuit is stopped.
