20150138249 | LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE, DATA LINE DRIVE CIRCUIT, AND DRIVE METHOD FOR LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE - Provided is a liquid crystal display device that can suppress, more than the prior art, lowering of display quality when low-frequency drive is being carried out. The liquid crystal display device is operated in a low frequency drive mode. A source driver applies a gradation voltage during write periods and an idle period voltage during an idle period to each source line. The value of the idle period voltage is, for example, an average value of a maximum gradation positive voltage, a maximum gradation negative voltage, a minimum gradation positive voltage, and a minimum gradation negative voltage. By making the voltage for each source line during the idle period be the idle period voltage, potential variations in the source lines when switching from the write periods to the idle period are smaller than the prior art. | 05-21-2015 |
20150206498 | LIQUID-CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE - A source driver generates a plurality of gradation voltages based on a plurality of gradation reference voltages VH255 to VL255 generated by a gradation reference voltage generation circuit, and drives the data lines using the generated gradation voltages. The control unit sets a waiting time before the power of the source driver is cut off, and controls the gradation reference voltage generation circuit such that all the plurality of gradation reference voltages VH255 to VL255 become the same voltage during the waiting time. In this way, the same voltages are written into the pixel circuits and the charge remaining in the pixel circuits are discharged, and thus, an afterimage, a ghosting, and a flickering caused by the remaining charge when the power is cut off are prevented. | 07-23-2015 |
