That is, the polarity is reversed for each frame. This is to prevent deterioration of the liquid crystal. The voltage applied to the liquid crystal at this time is determined by the off resistance of the switching TPT.
If the resistance is greater than the resistance of the liquid crystal, a certain scanning line is selected, and when 1 is selected in the next frame, it is discharged according to the time constant of the liquid crystal itself. The voltage applied to the scanning lines at the top and bottom of the screen of a liquid crystal display device is shown by the solid line 5 in FIG.
and 6, respectively. Since the liquid crystal driving voltage is the effective value of the voltage applied to the liquid crystal, it can be considered to be the area of a curve showing voltage versus time. Therefore, when the off resistance of the switching TPT is large, the effective value of the voltage applied to the scanning line at the upper end and the lower end of the display screen is equal, so that a good screen without uneven brightness can be obtained. but,
When operated using this conventional driving method, there is a drawback that brightness unevenness occurs at the top and bottom of the screen for the reasons described below. Equivalent circuit of only Imaichi picture element, Figure 6 (a), (
Shown in bl. In FIG. 6(b), it is assumed that the switching TFT is a resistor RT7, and the resistance changes depending on whether the gate scanning line is selected or not.

非選択時に液晶が保持している電圧VLはとなる。The voltage VL held by the liquid crystal when not selected is as follows.

In this case, the effects of stray capacitance at the gate and stray capacitance between source and drain are ignored. As can be seen from the first term of equation (2), the voltage VL applied to the liquid crystal when not selected is:
This will be affected by the signal voltage Vn (75) sent out when another scanning line is selected.When the screen is completely lit, the difference in brightness between the top and bottom ends is maximum, as shown in Figure 6. As shown in , the effective voltage is increased by 10 due to the effect of the positive signal sent in that frame at the top end, and the effective voltage is increased by the effect of the negative signal voltage whose polarity is reversed in the next frame at the bottom end. Loss amount 11
It is determined by the difference between - If the frame time interval is iT, then the increase in effective voltage Δvu10 at the upper end and the decrease in effective voltage Δvd11 at the lower end are τ Δvun ΔV6 T−v. (1-e7) Formula (3

The influence of the signal when not selected is determined by the magnitude relationship between the off resistance R0ff and the liquid crystal resistance RL g. off resistance R

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENT As an example, consider the case of a monochrome signal.0 As shown in FIG. 7, the polarity input to the signal line is inverted for each scanning line-to-line selection. Now, for simplicity, add a signal for when the entire screen is lit. At this time, the voltage applied to the liquid crystal pixel is
As shown in Figure 8, the influence of other signals on the off resistance of the TPT causes the + and - voltages to rise each time the polarity is reversed, resulting in a difference in the held voltage between the top and bottom of the screen. It's becoming more and more popular.

Further, in a color display, when R, G, and B are spread over two lines, the polarity may be completely reversed for every two lines. Note that if it is difficult to invert the polarity at the - line or the second line, it is sufficient to invert the polarity every few lines within the - frame. However, the polarity of the signal applied to the same line must be reversed for each frame.

Effects of the Invention - When the polarity is reversed for each line as shown in F, the difference in the holding voltage applied to the liquid crystal between the two-wheeled part and the lower end can be considerably reduced, and uneven brightness can be reduced. In this method, the difference in holding voltage becomes the greatest when a signal as shown in FIG. 9 is applied when each - line is turned on. The effect of the signal voltage on the holding voltage applied to the liquid crystal at this time is:
One in T in the formula (6) of the conventional example! This corresponds to an expression in which - is substituted. Therefore, the luminance difference ΔU' between the top and bottom edges of the screen is expressed as: 121 ΔU'=T-vo・(162τ) Equation (6), and compared to the conventional example, ! ΔU/ΔI]=1/! (1+8 ”τ) It can be reduced by Equation (7). Therefore, even with every other line pattern, the minimum μ can be reduced by the maximum. In reality, since various signals come in, further interference effects work, and from the above We have confirmed through experiments that this can be reduced.
