20090051641 | Active Matrix Type Liquid Crystal Display Device and Drive Method Thereof - A voltage corresponding to a black display is applied in a part of one frame period. When a black signal insertion period is changed, the black signal insertion period after the change is controlled so that (i) a time from a position at which a signal voltage of a first or second storage capacitor line rises to a position at which a first black insertion pulse rises in the black signal insertion period before the change becomes equal to (ii) a time from a position at which a signal voltage of the first or second storage capacitor line rises to a position at which a first black insertion pulse rises in the black signal insertion period after the change. This makes it possible to provide an active matrix type liquid crystal display device capable of preventing the occurrence of a difference in luminance between an upper side of a display panel screen and a lower side of the display panel screen in a case where black insertion is carried out with respect to a display panel which forms bright and dark sub-pixels by changing, for every sub-pixel, an effective voltage to each pixel by capacitive coupling of a storage capacitor and a liquid crystal capacitor, and a drive method of the active matrix type liquid crystal display device. | 02-26-2009 |

20100097367 | LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE, SCAN SIGNAL DRIVE DEVICE, LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE DRIVE METHOD, SCAN SIGNAL DRIVE METHOD, AND TELEVISION RECEIVER - In one embodiment of the present invention, a liquid crystal display device is disclosed in which a gate driver applies a gate-on pulse so that a second period is longer than a first period. The first period and the second period are defined as follows. Among gate-on pulses applied before the moment of polarity inversion of a data signal, the last end of the gate-on pulse nearest to the moment of the polarity inversion is earlier than the end time of the horizontal period during which the gate-on pulse is applied. The first period starts at the last end of the gate-on pulse and ends at the end time of the horizontal period during which the gate-on pulse is applied. The second period starts at the moment of the polarity inversion and ends at the moment of the application start of the gate-on pulse nearest to the moment of the polarity inversion among the gate-on pulses applied after the polarity inversion. Thus, even when a data signal waveform is not sharp upon polarity inversion, it is possible to suppress display unevenness and perform a high-quality display. | 04-22-2010 |

This makes it possible to provide a liquid crystal display device capable of offering high quality display in which unevenness in the display is suppressed without being affected by the blunt waveform of the data signal and the blunt waveform of a retention volume signal at the time of the inversion. | 05-13-2010 |
