As figure, principle of work of the present invention and process are:
First, cls is carried out to cholesteric liquid crystal display screen.Apply to all column electrodes 141, all row electrodes 151 the forward high-voltage pulse signal (as Fig. 4) that frequency 1/T1 is 50Hz, voltage magnitude is 30V, only phase place is contrary for this row electrode 151 and the pulse signal that column electrode 141 applies.Due to column electrode 141, the voltage signal formed after row electrode 151 superposes between the two is bidirectional pulse and is 30V (as Fig. 9) at every flashy voltage magnitude, be greater than on state of threshold voltage VC (such as on state of threshold voltage VC is chosen to be 25V), therefore, when after voltage effect, cholesteric liquid crystal molecule 1 31 in mixolimnion 13 corresponding to all pixels is with first, second conductive electrode layer 14, the conformation of rules of the plane being perpendicular of 15, as shown in figure 14, this conformation of rules can produce Bragg reflection to the visible ray of specific waveforms, thus on state of (P state) is externally presented.Here it should be noted that, the voltage signal in cls stage is high voltage, and the ghost on piece image can be wiped by high voltage signal well.
Then, sequential scanning is line by line carried out line by line to cholesteric liquid crystal display screen and drives, until all line scannings driven, now, need the image of display just to present.
Be described with turntable driving one behavior example below.
It is 1KHz that column electrode 141 to turntable driving applies frequency 1/T2, voltage magnitude is the forward low voltage pulse signal (as Fig. 5) of 20V, other column electrodes 141 to not turntable driving apply the d. c. voltage signal (as Fig. 6) that voltage magnitude is 10V, the row electrode 151 that the pixel needing to be driven to dark-state on this column electrode 141 of turntable driving is corresponding applies and the voltage signal voltage signal (as Fig. 7) that only phase place is contrary applied on the column electrode 141 of turntable driving, the row electrode 151 that when needing to keep initial on this column electrode 141 of turntable driving, the pixel of on state of is corresponding applies the voltage signal (as Fig. 8) identical with the voltage signal applied on the column electrode 141 of turntable driving.
Therefore, the pixel being driven to dark-state is needed on this column electrode 141 of turntable driving, the voltage waveform be superimposed upon on these pixels is bidirectional pulse and is 20V (as Figure 10) at every flashy voltage magnitude, be greater than and brightly turn dark-state threshold V T H and be less than on state of threshold voltage VC (such as the bright dark-state threshold V T H that turns is chosen to be 14V), therefore, when after voltage effect, cholesteric liquid crystal molecule 1 31 in mixolimnion 13 part corresponding to these pixels becomes disordered chain state, i.e. out of order form, as shown in Figure 1, this out of order form can not produce Bragg reflection to the visible ray of specific waveforms, thus dark-state (FC state) is externally presented.
The pixel being retained as on state of is needed on this column electrode 141 of turntable driving, the voltage waveform be superimposed upon on these pixels is 0, be less than and brightly turn dark-state threshold V T H, as shown in figure 11, therefore, the arrangement form of the cholesteric liquid crystal molecule 1 31 in mixolimnion 13 part corresponding to these pixels remains unchanged, and still can carry out Bragg reflection, thus externally still presents on state of (P state).
For the pixel that other column electrodes 141 of not turntable driving are formed with the row electrode 151 applying dark-state column scan pulse signal, although the voltage waveform be superimposed upon on these pixels is bidirectional pulse, but the voltage magnitude of this voltage waveform | V2-V3| is 10V, | V3| is 10V, all be less than and brightly turn dark-state threshold V T H, as shown in figure 12, therefore, the arrangement form of the cholesteric liquid crystal molecule 1 31 in mixolimnion 13 part corresponding to these pixels remains unchanged, and these pixels continue to keep original state.
For the pixel that other column electrodes 141 of not turntable driving are formed with the row electrode 151 applying on state of column scan pulse signal, although the voltage waveform be superimposed upon on these pixels is bidirectional pulse, but the voltage magnitude of this voltage waveform | V2-V3| is 10V, | V3| is 10V, also be all less than and brightly turn dark-state threshold V T H, as shown in figure 13, therefore, the arrangement form of the cholesteric liquid crystal molecule 1 31 in mixolimnion 13 part corresponding to these pixels also remains unchanged, and these pixels continue to keep original state.
When reality is implemented, the voltage magnitude V2 of one-way low pressure pulse signal and the voltage magnitude V3 of d. c. voltage signal can be made to follow following relational expression: the voltage magnitude V2 of one-way low pressure pulse signal equals the voltage magnitude V3 of the d. c. voltage signal of twice, i.e. V2=2V3, to make in the turntable driving stage, voltage integrating meter on each pixel is 0, thus achieves DC balance.And in the present invention, in the cls stage, the voltage integrating meter on each pixel is 0 naturally, therefore, the cls stage in the present invention self just maintains DC balance.
Advantage of the present invention is:
The present invention can effectively drive cholesteric liquid crystal display screen to carry out image display, and image display effect is good, and drive cost low, operating temperature range is wide, is applicable to the image-driven of the cholesteric liquid crystal display screen of different resolution.
The above know-why being preferred embodiment of the present invention and using; for a person skilled in the art; when not deviating from the spirit and scope of the present invention; any based on apparent changes such as the equivalent transformation on technical solution of the present invention basis, simple replacements, all belong within scope.
