Hereinafter, with reference to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 and Fig. 1 to Fig. 3, by the example of the driving method of liquid crystal display described in detail according to the embodiment of the present invention.
Fig. 4 is the schematic sectional view of the liquid crystal display according to the embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 5 illustrates the figure be applied to according to the data line of the liquid crystal display of the embodiment of the present invention and the voltage of pixel.
First, with reference to Fig. 1, signal controller 600 receives received image signal R, G and B and the input control signal from the control inputs picture signal R of external graphics controller (not shown), the display of G and B.
Received image signal R, G and B comprise the monochrome information of each pixel, and this brightness has the gray scale of scheduled volume, and such as 1024 (=2 10), 256 (=2 8) or 64 (=2 6) gray scale.
Input control signal can comprise vertical synchronizing signal (Vsync), horizontal-drive signal (Hsync), master clock signal (MCLK), data enable signal (DE) etc.
Signal controller 600 processes received image signal R, G, B aptly according to the condition of work of liquid crystal panel assembly 300 on the basis of received image signal R, G, B and input control signal.Signal controller 600 produces grid control signal CONT1 and data controlling signal CONT2, grid control signal CONT1 is outputted to gate drivers 400 and data controlling signal CONT2 and treated picture signal DAT is outputted to data driver 500.
According to the data controlling signal from signal controller 600, data driver 500 receives the data image signal DAT for one-row pixels and by selecting the grayscale voltage corresponding to each data image signal DAT to convert each data image signal DAT to analog data voltage, then analog data voltage is applied to corresponding data line.
Gate-on voltage Von is applied to gate lines G according to the grid control signal CONT1 from signal controller 600 by gate drivers 400 igate lines G is connected to conducting ithe first on-off element Qa and second switch element Qb.
Then, data line D is applied to jand D j+1data voltage be applied to corresponding pixel PX by the first on-off element Qa and second switch element Qb.
Namely, at the first data line D jthe data voltage of middle flowing is applied to the first pixel electrode PEa by the first on-off element Qa, flows in the second data line D j+1data voltage be applied to the second pixel electrode PEb by second switch element Qb.
Now, the data voltage being applied to the first pixel electrode PEa and the second pixel electrode PEb is the data voltage corresponding to the brightness shown by pixel PX, and has the reciprocal polarity relative to common electric voltage Vcom.
The difference with two data voltages (it is applied to the first pixel electrode PEa and the second pixel electrode PEb) of opposed polarity is represented by the charging voltage (namely pixel voltage) of liquid crystal capacitor Clc.
When electric potential difference produces between the two ends of liquid crystal capacitor Clc, the electric field being parallel to the surface of panel 100 and 200 produces in the liquid crystal layer 3 between the first pixel electrode PEa and the second pixel electrode PEb, as shown in Figure 4.
When liquid crystal molecule 31 has positive dielectric anisotropy, liquid crystal molecule 31 tilt thus they major axis by orientation be parallel to electric field direction and the angle tilted is decided by the amplitude (amplitude) of pixel voltage.
This liquid crystal layer 3 is called electro-induction optical compensation (EOC) pattern.
The angle of inclination of liquid crystal molecule 31 is decided by by the degree of the change of the polarisation of light of liquid crystal layer 3.
Polarization variations is represented by the change of the transmissivity of the light by polarizer, is shown the brightness represented by the gray scale of picture signal DAT by its pixel PX.
By (being also called " 1H " at a horizontal cycle, equal the one-period of horizontal-drive signal (Hsync) and data enable signal DE) repeat this process, gate-on signal voltage Von is sequentially applied to all gate lines and data voltage is applied to all pixel PX, thus display one two field picture.
After a frame stops, next frame starts.The state being applied to the reverse signal RVS of data driver 500 is controlled such that the polarity of the data voltage being applied to each pixel PX is reversed to contrary with frame before (" frame reverses ").
At this moment, flow in the data voltage in a data line polarity can according to the characteristic of reverse signal RVS (such as row reversion and some reversion) one image duration periodic variation or be applied to the polarity of data voltage of a pixel column can be alternating with each other ground different (such as, row reversion and put reverse).
Fig. 5 illustrates according to the figure being applied to the voltage of every data lines in the liquid crystal display of the embodiment of the present invention when the charging voltage of the liquid crystal capacitor of four neighbors is respectively minimum voltage that 14V, 10V, 5V and 1V and liquid crystal display can use and maximum voltage is respectively 0V and 14V.
With reference to Fig. 5, each pixel is connected to two data lines D j, D j+1/ D j+2, D j+3/ D j+4, D j+5/ D j+6, D j+7.The different data voltage relative to common electric voltage Vcom with opposed polarity is applied to the two data lines D being connected to a pixel j, D j+1/ D j+2, D j+3/ D j+4, D j+5/ D j+6, D j+7.Difference between two data lines is the pixel voltage in each pixel PX.Such as, when common electric voltage Vcom is 7V, 14V and 0V can be applied to the first data line D respectively jwith the second data line D j+1and the object pixel voltage of the first pixel is 14V, 12V and 2V can be applied to the 3rd data line D respectively j+2with the 4th data line D j+3and the object pixel voltage of the second pixel is 10V, 9.5V and 4.5V can be applied to the 5th data line D respectively j+4with the 6th data line D j+5and the object pixel voltage of the 3rd pixel is 5V, 7.5V and 6.5V can be applied to the 7th data line D j+6with the 8th data line D j+7and the object pixel voltage of the 4th pixel is 1V.
As mentioned above, by applying to have two data voltages of opposed polarity to a pixel PX relative to common electric voltage Vcom, driving voltage can increase, and the response speed of liquid crystal molecule can improve, and the transmissivity of liquid crystal display can be improved.In addition, because two data voltages being applied to a pixel PX have reciprocal polarity, so the degeneration of picture quality because flicker (flicker) causes can be prevented, even if in data driver 500, inversion-type is advantageously similar to row reversion or the row reversion of a reversion.
In addition, when the first on-off element Qa and second switch element Qb ends in one pixel, the voltage being applied to the first pixel electrode PEa and the second pixel electrode PEb is side by side declined by corresponding flyback (kickback) voltage, thus only has little change in the charging voltage of pixel PX.Therefore, the display characteristic of liquid crystal display can be improved.
And, when use perpendicular to liquid crystal panel 100 and 200 surface orientation liquid crystal molecule 31, the contrast of liquid crystal display can be improved and realize good optical look angle.Because the liquid crystal molecule 31 with positive dielectric anisotropy has larger dielectric anisotropy and the stagnant degree of lower rotation, so can increase the response speed of liquid crystal molecule 31 relative to the liquid crystal molecule 31 with negative dielectric anisotropy.In addition, the vergence direction due to liquid crystal molecule 31 is easy to the direction of the electric field being set to generation, even if so can obtain the orientation of excellent display characteristic at liquid crystal molecule 31 due to externalities by dispersion time.
Then, with reference to Fig. 6 to Figure 10 and above-mentioned Fig. 1 to Fig. 5, by another example of the driving method of liquid crystal display described in detail according to the embodiment of the present invention.
Fig. 6 illustrates the pixel electrode of liquid crystal display and the figure of structural region according to an embodiment of the invention.Fig. 7 is the schematic sectional view of the liquid crystal display according to the embodiment of the present invention, the figure of Fig. 8 to be the figure of the order of the driving method of the liquid crystal display illustrated according to the embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 9 be driving method illustrated according to the embodiment of the present invention.Figure 10 is the figure that driving method is in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention shown.
First, with reference to Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, also comprise top panel 100 respect to one another and lower panel 200 and liquid crystal layer 3, the first pixel electrode 191a be plugged between the two according to the liquid crystal panel assembly of embodiment to be arranged on as the liquid crystal panel assembly shown in Fig. 2 on lower panel 100 with the second pixel electrode 191b.
The liquid crystal molecule 31 of liquid crystal layer 3 has without major axis during electric field by orientation being the surface perpendicular to two panels 100 and 200.
When two data voltages relative to common electric voltage Vcom with opposed polarity are applied to the first pixel electrode 191a and the second pixel electrode 191b, the liquid crystal molecule 31 of liquid crystal layer 3 tilts for being parallel to panel 100 and 200, as shown in Figure 7.But, can not tilt to either side with the liquid crystal molecule 31 of the first pixel electrode 191a and the second pixel electrode 191b interval same distance and keep their initial orientation perpendicular to panel 100 and 200.Then, have compared with around it and can produce between two pixel electrode 191a and 191b compared with the structure A of low-light level, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7.
With reference to Fig. 9, also comprise (mode with identical with the driving method of above-mentioned liquid crystal display shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 5) according to the driving method of the liquid crystal display of embodiment and show by the N two field picture predetermined time (such as display 60 two field picture per second in 60Hz drives) that will show.After display N two field picture, additionally show the low gray level image Ig of a frame as shown in Figure 9, then show the N two field picture that will be shown.
When liquid crystal display shows high gray scale intensities such as white, when liquid crystal molecule 31 receives the pressure from outside, the liquid crystal molecule 31 in the structural region between two pixel electrode 191a and 191b flatly can be arranged relative to display panel 100 and 200.Structural region (texture region) A that liquid crystal molecule 31 is flatly arranged can confirm as flaxen damage, because the transmissivity of horizontally disposed liquid crystal molecule 31 pairs of liquid crystal display has contribution.Horizontally disposed liquid crystal molecule 31 in structural region A remains on this state by the highfield in liquid crystal layer 3, even if remove from the pressure of outside, even if thus such damage also can not be removed along with passage of time.
When a two field picture with low gray scale shows after the image of frame showing predetermined number (as in an embodiment), level to return to them the initial tilt state perpendicular to panel 100 and 200 in the liquid crystal molecule 31 that panel 100 and 200 is arranged is remained, when being removed from externalities by highfield.Therefore, damage is removed, and can display white image.At this moment, the gray scale of low gray level image Ig can be equal to or less than gray scale (by this gray scale, the damage appeared in high gray level image is removed after can removing at the pressure that impact is such as outside).Alternatively, gray scale can be the gray scale of the data voltage of data voltage corresponding to the high gray scale being equal to or less than 2/3.
For above-described embodiment alternatively, the number of the frame of the low gray level image Ig of interpolation can be a frame or multiframe.
Then, with reference to Figure 10, will describe according to another the driving method of liquid crystal display of embodiment of the present invention.
With reference to Figure 10, a line or multirow pixel show low gray scale in corresponding frame, and having this line of low gray scale or multirow pixel can from one end of screen to other end roll display screen, when showing image image duration in liquid crystal display at n.Now, the gray scale of this line or multirow pixel with low gray scale can be equal to or less than the gray scale that such gray scale (by this gray scale, damage and can be removed in high gray level image after affecting such as external pressure removal) can be maybe the data voltage corresponding to the data voltage corresponding with high gray scale being equal to or less than 2/3.
Different from Figure 10, low gray scale row can roll from top to bottom, from left to right or from right to left.
Like this, a line of low gray scale or multirow (this is difficult to be identified) add every frame to and roll in mode same as the previously described embodiments, then can to discharge due to impact the such as liquid crystal molecule 31 arranged make liquid crystal molecule 31 turn back to their initial orientations after external pressure is removed from the external pressure of highfield.Therefore, display defect such as flaxen damage etc. can be removed.
As mentioned above, by adding low gray level image or at least low gray scale of a line when comprising in by the liquid crystal display of the liquid crystal molecule 31 of vertical orientation and showing high gray level image, liquid crystal molecule 31 (even if it removes externalities because power that impact is such as outside is arranged to be parallel to panel 100 and 200 and to be fettered by highfield) can be recovered and turn back to initial orientation.

In the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 28 B, the overlay area formed between the second grid electrode 124hb of the second switch element Qhb of the first sub-pixel PXh and the second drain electrode 175hb can be less than the overlay area between the first grid electrode 124ha of the first on-off element Qha of formation first sub-pixel PXh and the first drain electrode 175ha.Such as, the ratio forming the overlay area between the first grid electrode 124ha of overlay area between the second grid electrode 124hb of second switch element Qhb and the second drain electrode 175hb and the first on-off element Qha and the first drain electrode 175ha can be 1: 1.1 to 1: 10 or 1: 2 to 1: 6.And when drain electrode 175ha and 175hb stacked with gate electrode 124ha and 124hb is linear, the ratio of this overlay area equals the width ratio between drain electrode 175ha and 175hb.Namely, the ratio of the width D 2 of the second drain electrode 175hb and the width D 1 of the first drain electrode 175ha can be about 1: 1.1 to about 1: 10 or about 1: 2 to about 1: 6.
The overlay area formed between the first grid electrode 124la of the first on-off element Qla of the second sub-pixel PXl and the first drain electrode 175la can be less than the overlay area between the second grid electrode 124lb of the second switch element Qlb of formation second sub-pixel PXl and the second drain electrode 175lb.
Such as, the ratio of the overlay area forming overlay area between the first grid electrode 124la of the first on-off element Qla and the first drain electrode 175la and form between the second grid electrode 124lb of second switch element Qlb and the second drain electrode 175lb can be about 1: 1.1 to about 1: 10 or about 1: 2 to about 1: 6.And when drain electrode 175la and 175lb stacked with gate electrode 124la and 124lb is linear, the ratio of this overlay area equals the width ratio between drain electrode 175la and 175lb.Namely, the ratio of the width D 3 of the first drain electrode 175la and the width D 4 of the second drain electrode 175lb can be about 1: 1.1 to about 1: 10 or about 1: 2 to about 1: 6.

Below, the operation of the liquid crystal display to the liquid crystal panel assembly comprised according to the present embodiment is described.
First, the data voltage relative to common electric voltage Vcom with positive polarity is applied to data line D jdata line D is applied to the data voltage relative to common electric voltage Vcom with negative polarity j+1situation as an example.
When gate-on voltage Von is applied to gate lines G itime, be connected to gate lines G ithe first to the three on-off element Qha, Qla, Qb and Qc conducting.
Therefore, data line D jpositive data voltage be applied to each one end of liquid crystal capacitor Clch and Clcl, data line D by the first on-off element Qha and Qla of conducting j+1negative data voltage be applied to each other end of liquid crystal capacitor Clch and Clcl by second switch element Qb.
Meanwhile, common electric voltage Vcom is applied to one end of boost capacitor Cb by the 3rd on-off element Qc, and boost capacitor Cb passes through the voltage difference charging between the output terminal of the first on-off element Qha and common electric voltage Vcom.
Then, when grid cut-off voltage Voff is applied to gate lines G iand gate-on voltage Von is applied to next root gate lines G i+1time, the first to the three on-off element Qha, Qla, Qb and Qc turns off, the 4th on-off element Qd conducting.

Below, with reference to Figure 38 and Figure 39, be described to the operation of liquid crystal display according to an embodiment of the invention.
Figure 38 and Figure 39 be illustrate when the minimum voltage that liquid crystal capacitor adopts according to an embodiment of the invention be 0V, ceiling voltage is 14V, common electric voltage Vcom is 7V time, in two consecutive frames the liquid crystal capacitor of four neighbors charging voltage and be applied to the curve map of voltage of data line.
With reference to Figure 38 and Figure 39, a data lines is present between two pixel PX, and two pixel PX are jointly connected to shared data line D j+1and D j+4.For every frame, most high driving voltage (such as, 14V) and minimum drive voltage (such as, 0V) are alternately applied to shared data line D j+1and D j+4.Namely, when 0V is as shown in Figure 38 applied to shared data line D in a frame j+1and D j+4time, 14V is applied to shared data line D in the next frame as shown in figure 39 j+1and D j+4.

As shown in figure 39, the most high driving voltage of 14V is applied to shared data line D in the next frame j+1and D j+4.Because the target charging voltage of the first pixel is 13V, so the data of 1V are applied to the first data line D j.Because the target charging voltage of the second pixel is 8V, so 6V is applied to the second data line D j+2.Because the target charging voltage of the 3rd pixel is 6V, so 8V is applied to the 3rd data line D j+3.Because the target charging voltage of the 4th pixel is 3V, so 11V is applied to the 4th data line D j+5.Thus the voltage with the polarity contrary with the polarity of voltage in former frame is applied to each pixel, and adjacent pixel also can be applied in the voltage of polarity opposite each other.
