| 20080246784 | Display device - The present invention improves, in a display device to which normal display data and interpolation data are inputted from the outside, the moving image performance by applying overdrive processing to both of a bright frame and a dark frame. The display device includes a display panel having a plurality of sub pixels, and a driver for outputting a video voltage corresponding to the display data to the respective sub pixels. The display data inputted from the external system is constituted of normal display data and interpolation display data inserted between the normal display data. The signal generation circuit includes an overdrive circuit for applying overdrive processing to the normal display data and the interpolation display data inputted from the external system, and a gray scale conversion circuit for converting the gradation of display data applied overdrive by the overdrive circuit. Assuming two continuous frame periods as one unit and assuming the display data inputted from the external system within the two continuous frame periods as first display data and second display data, when the display data inputted from the external system is of an intermediate gray scale, gray scale based on the second display data after conversion is set lower than gray scale based on the first display data after conversion. | 10-09-2008 |

| 20100128210 | Display device - The present invention is intended to control the color temperature of white exhibited by a liquid crystal display device. White is produced when light waves emitted through pixels associated with three colors of red; green, and blue have maximum intensities. The amounts of light emitted through the respective pixels are controlled by differentiating the shapes of the pixel electrodes disposed at the respective pixels from one another. Thus, the color temperature of white is controlled. Otherwise, the shapes of interceptive films disposed at the respective pixels are differentiated from one another in order to control light waves emitted through the respective pixels. Thus, the color temperature of white is controlled. The interceptive film may be shaped like the pixel electrode. Otherwise, the interceptive film may be realized with an interceptive pattern other than that of the pixel electrode or one of openings bored in a black matrix. | 05-27-2010 |
