In reverse level 仃: in the middle, the 180. (: The twisted state has the disadvantage of being developed. Therefore, in addition to the original stable state, there will be two other metastable states, which are not developed but the twist degree is 4c, which is 0 to 360.

Explanation of the invention (3) 'The voltage formed by the voltage is large,] or the modulus is described in 14. The transmittance of this component is described at 15. “At the beginning of the addressing interval illustrated in FIG. 2, the H reset pulse 4 displayed under the bi-stable black shape 9 causes the liquid crystal to reset to the isotropic state 6 and then the selective pulse 16. Similarly, Apply = on the line handle to select the desired data mode of the liquid crystal state, as shown in 17. This generates a voltage with an amplitude of 18 at both ends of the liquid 2 and an electric field caused by it, causing the liquid crystal to relax back to white Metastable state 1 0. During subsequent addressing of the pixel under study, another reset pulse 4 'resets the liquid crystal to the isotropic state 6 and the other is at the same time selective as the appropriate data waveform 17' Pulse 16, which generates pulse amplitude 18, relaxes the liquid crystal and restores the black metastable state 9. The disadvantage of the known BTN LCD is that it is only a black or white state because it is a bistable state. In order to address the intermediate gray Various technologies can be used. For example, sub-pixelization can be performed to make the sub-pixel smaller than the resolution of the eye, and a mixture of black and white areas can be generated in each pixel. However, if the technology is not limited to the present Quite small low bound For display panels, this configuration requires more drive circuits and drives liquid crystal mixtures more quickly. Moreover, it requires higher structural accuracy. Another known technique is to apply different voltages or voltage sequences to the pixels. Provide different amounts of black and white areas. For example, this can be achieved using uneven pixels, where different pixel areas have different properties that require different switching voltages. This technique is known as multi-threshold adjustment ,, still need to increase the sub-pixelization of other manufacturing steps, and greater structural accuracy is required. ______ 0 This paper scale is ill; \; ---- ((NS) (210X 297 ^ f ) (Read the notes on the back and fill in the items first.

This temple wave pattern is small enough to relax the liquid crystal to 36 °. Twisted, it is believed to be a twisted or black metastable state9, but can be or include: state 360. Reversed part of the isotropic state.戽 In the gate pulse waveform and the pixel electric field waveform caused by them, part of the reset pulse 42 is applied to the column electrode 25, and the three waveforms together provide a voltage. Modulus 45 is used to select a relative gray scale. The height and width of the pulse 42 are specially selected to achieve the current ^ mesh = P knife white or heavy man. The degree of blanking or resetting therefore changes with the cell area +. This change can be caused by the non-uniform flow of $ Frendencksz transition of the voron in steroids. It is believed that the non-twisted isotropic or preset white state is generated in a region with sufficient blankness caused by the pulse 42. In the region where the reset pulse 42 has a small effect in this part, the liquid crystal S is white to indicate a preset black The state is reversed by 3 60. Near isotropic state. The relative content of the preset white and preset black functional areas is determined by the data voltage applied at the same time as the partial reset pulse 42. Later, a variable pulse 43 is applied, which is believed to be a “rush white” to produce white in the preset white state region. The region in the preset black state is not affected by the glandular impulse 43 and is relaxed or black. The variability pulse 43 is selected so that the data voltage applied at the same time does not substantially affect the selected final state. 14- This paper size is suitable for China State Standard (rNS) Λ4 specification (210X297 mm), 'IT ί * (η read the precautions on the back before filling in this page j 544537 A7 _____B7, description of the invention (12) ^ Another addressing technology is different from the former is the pulse 42 and 43 are also optional: forming (transparent The luminosity actually depends on the data applied during the pulse 43. The child pulse 43 is believed to be caused by the conversion of the pulse η to affect the ratio of the preset white and preset black areas. As described above Phase k 43 also relaxes the preset white area into a white relaxed state. The local difference in the degree of blankness is believed to be due to dynamic inhomogeneity due to thermal fluctuations or voltage changes in the bileol liquid crystal or both. .especially During the resetting and relaxation of the liquid crystal, the liquid crystal molecules cannot all move in the same direction, so they temporarily have different orientations at different foot positions. By changing the modulus of the skin type of the electric field applied to the liquid crystal, 45, Select the same grayscale. For example, the data waveform shown by 导致 results in a waveform with a modulo 0 selection or addressing a grayscale that is darker than the addressing by the module 45.
