On the other hand, under the state of opening case portion 42, have only the display action of the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 in running order, the display action of the 1st liquid crystal display 10 is in off position.In this case, be used to switch controlling signal, make all switching TFT 17 of switch portion 19 be in on-state, supply with display data signal to the source bus line 16 of the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 from source electrode driver 15 from source electrode driver 15.In addition, gate drivers 13 stops action, and gate drivers 23 moves.
Then, illustrate in greater detail the display action of the above-mentioned the 1st and the 2nd liquid crystal display 10,20.
When the 1st liquid crystal display 10 shows, as shown in Figure 4, source bus line 16 is applied display data signal from source electrode driver 15, grid bus 14 is applied the signal that TFT25 uses that is switched on or switched off from gate drivers 13.At this moment, if the voltage of grid bus 14 is high level, then the TFT25 that is connected with this grid bus 14 is in on-state, and the display data signal that source bus line 16 is applied writes pixel (liquid crystal capacitance 26).
In the display driver of the 1st liquid crystal display 10,,, just repeat 1 picture and show (writing) according to the order driving grid bus 14-1~14-M of line by source bus line 16-1~16-L is applied display data signal.
At this moment, because the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 does not show, therefore apply low-voltage (switch controlling signal) from source electrode driver 15 to switch controlling signal line 18, all switching TFT 17 of switch portion 19 are all disconnected, with the source bus line 16 of the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 (source bus line 16 (16-1~16-L) carry out separating of electricity of 16-1~16-L) and the 1st liquid crystal display 10.In addition, at this moment, the grid bus 24 of the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 is not driven yet.
In above-mentioned action,, the load of the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 is carried out the separation of electricity showing relatively under the situation that the 1st high liquid crystal display 10 of frequency shows.Thereby, in liquid crystal indicator 1, can realize the reduction of power consumption.
On the other hand, under the situation that the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 shows, as shown in Figure 5, source bus line 16 is applied display data signal from source electrode driver 15, grid bus 24 is applied the signal that TFT25 uses that is switched on or switched off from gate drivers 23.At this moment, if the voltage of grid bus 24 is high level, then the TFT25 that is connected with this grid bus 24 is in on-state, and the display data signal that source bus line 16 is applied writes pixel (liquid crystal capacitance 26).
In the display driver of the 2nd liquid crystal display 20, by source bus line 16-1~16-L is applied display data signal, according to the order driving grid bus 24-1~24-N of line, just repeat 1 picture show (writing).
At this moment, because the 1st liquid crystal display 10 does not show, when the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 is applied display data signal, therefore apply high voltage (switch controlling signal) to switch controlling signal line 18 from source electrode driver 15, all switching TFT 17 of switch portion 19 are all connected.Just, 14-1~14-M does not drive to grid bus.
In above-mentioned action, under the situation that the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 shows, the load of the 1st liquid crystal display 10 can not be carried out the separation of electricity, need extra power.But the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 is to show the low display screen of frequency, and the probability that this kind situation takes place is very low.On the other hand, showing relatively under the situation that the 1st high liquid crystal display 10 of frequency shows,,, can realize the reduction of power consumption therefore as entire liquid crystal display device 1 because the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 is carried out the separation of electricity.
Also have, the load of above-mentioned electricity mainly is because of producing at the electric capacity of the insulation division at the position of intersecting with grid bus 14 with in TFT25 stray capacitance partly etc.
In addition, the 1st liquid crystal display 10 of mobile phone 40 and the configuration mode of the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 are not limited to above-mentioned situation.For example, in that mobile phone 40 is regarded as can switch with respect to the 1st housing section under the situation of device of the 2nd housing section, the 1st liquid crystal display 10 is provided with like this, promptly settling display surface with respect to outside surface one side of the 1st or the 2nd housing section under the state of the 1st housing section energy switch the 2nd housing section, and the 2nd liquid crystal display is provided with like this, is promptly settling display surface with respect to inside surface one side of the 1st or the 2nd housing section under the state of the 1st housing section energy switch the 2nd housing section.This point for the relation of 200 of secondary screen 100 described later and main screens too.
Here, in the liquid crystal indicator 1 of present embodiment, as mentioned above, show and be not provided with under the situation that the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 of a side of source electrode driver 15 do not show at the 1st liquid crystal display 10 of a side that only is provided with source electrode driver 15, utilize switch portion 19 that the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 and the 1st liquid crystal display 10 are separated.In this case, the problem below in the demonstration of the 2nd liquid crystal display 20, having taken place.
That is, for the switching TFT 17 of switch portion 19, be more than 1000 times of resistance value that are in on-state though be in the resistance value of off-state, being in off-state is not to be in state of insulation, can produce certain leakage current.Because this leakage current, make the current potential of source bus line 16 of the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 of the side that do not drive gradually change, finally converge on the average voltage of voltage of the source bus line 16 of the 1st liquid crystal display 10 that drives a side.Therefore, the drain electrode of the TFT25 of the 2nd liquid crystal display 20, the pixel electrode that promptly links to each other with drain electrode are applied the voltage of the source bus line 16 that gradually changes, according to the variation of the potential difference (PD) of the voltage of this voltage and opposite electrode, the show state of the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 correspondingly changes.Its result can not carry out undesired demonstration in the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 that drives.Also have, well-known, supply with opposed electrode voltage from opposed electrode voltage supply circuit (not shown) to opposite electrode.
In addition, in during switch portion 19 disconnects action (the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 do not carry out display action during in), do not repeat in switch portion 19 under the situation of temporary transient ON Action, because the leakage current of the switching TFT 17 of switch portion 19, make the current potential of source bus line 16 of the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 converge on the average potential of the source bus line 16 of the 1st liquid crystal display 10 that carries out display action.This average potential makes every source signal line 16 that delicate difference be arranged because of the difference of the display image of the 1st display part sometimes, in this case, each pixel electrode of the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 and each potential difference (PD) of opposite electrode are inhomogeneous, and the display frame of the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 is in the state that looks very uncomfortable.
In order to solve such problem, in the liquid crystal indicator 1, under the 1st state that liquid crystal display 10 shows and the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 does not show, switch portion 19 temporary transient and repetition ON Actions (repeating temporary transient ON Action), for example carry out ON Action, the source bus line 16 of the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 is supplied with constant potential from some cycles.
Fig. 6 represents to carry out the block diagram of the liquid crystal indicator 1 of above-mentioned action usefulness.Source electrode driver 15 and gate drivers 13,23 are supplied with required voltage these drivers from power circuit 51, and the action of source electrode driver 15 and gate drivers 13,23 is controlled by control circuit (control module) 52.
Fig. 7 is illustrated in that the 1st liquid crystal display 10 shows and the sequential chart from the output signal of source electrode driver 15 under the situation that the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 does not show, when not carrying out the temporary transient ON Action of the repetition of above-mentioned switch portion 19.
In Fig. 7, control signal S11 and control signal S12 are respectively the commencing signal and the clock signals of gate drivers 13 usefulness, and control signal S21 and control signal S22 are respectively the commencing signal and the clock signals of gate drivers 23 usefulness.Switch controlling signal S1 is the signal that is switched on or switched off control usefulness to the switch portion 19 of switch controlling signal line 18 supplies.Picture signal Si supplies with, is and the corresponding signal of picture displayed information to source bus line 16.
Under above-mentioned situation, switch controlling signal S1 is fixed on low level, and switch portion 19 is in off-state.In addition, control signal S21 and control signal S22 are fixed on high level, do not generate sweep signal in the 2nd liquid crystal display 20.Among the picture signal Si, during corresponding with the bar number of the grid bus 14 of the 1st liquid crystal display 10 be effective image during, be between dynamic stage during in addition.Also have, do not do special qualification about the current potential of the source bus line between dynamic stage 16.
In addition, Fig. 8 is illustrated in that the 1st liquid crystal display 10 does not show and under the situation that the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 shows, from the sequential chart of the output signal of source electrode driver 15.Also have, irrelevant with the temporary transient ON Action of the repetition of switch portion 19 here certainly.
Under situation shown in Figure 8, switch controlling signal S1 is in high level during above-mentioned effective image, and switch portion 19 at this moment is in on-state.In addition, control signal S11 and control signal S12 are fixed on high level, do not generate sweep signal in the 1st liquid crystal display 10.
On the other hand, Fig. 9 is illustrated in that the 1st liquid crystal display 10 shows and the sequential chart from the output signal of source electrode driver 15 under the situation that the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 does not show, when carrying out the temporary transient ON Action of the repetition of above-mentioned switch portion 19.
Under situation shown in Figure 9, switch controlling signal S1 beyond during effective image during in a part during in, be high level owing to switch portion 19 repeats temporary transient ON Action, be low level during in addition.Picture signal Si during to comprise switch controlling signal S1 at least be high level above-mentioned during, promptly supplying with constant potential during in be fixed on constant potential.Here, the temporary transient ON Action of the repetition of switch portion 19 beyond during effective image during in, be to carry out on per 1 vertical period ground.In addition, control signal S21 and control signal S22 are fixed on high level, do not generate sweep signal in the 2nd liquid crystal display 20.
According to above-mentioned action, the source bus line 16 of the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 of non-show state is supplied with constant potentials, the drain electrode of TFT25, be that the potential difference (PD) of pixel electrode and opposite electrode remains on steady state value.Thus, in the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 of non-show state, the show state of whole image is even and be in steady state, can prevent and carry out undesired demonstration.
Also have, the temporary transient ON Action of the repetition of switch portion 19 is not limited to carry out from some cycles, even carry out at random, so long as in the moment that can eliminate the variation in voltage that produces because of above-mentioned leakage current, the moment (moment that can ignore in the demonstration in the display frame variation of the show state that the variation in voltage because of above-mentioned leakage current generating causes) that maybe can ignore the variation in voltage that produces because of above-mentioned leakage current gets final product.Just, relatively good carrying out periodically on the manageable this point of the temporary transient ON Action of the repetition of switch portion 19 at each integral multiple of per 1 vertical cycle or 1 vertical cycle.
In addition, the constant potential of supplying with to the source bus line 16 of the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 by the temporary transient ON Action of the repetition of switch portion 19 is so long as carry out for example white, ash or black etc. even demonstration get final product qualification especially in the 2nd liquid crystal display 20.
Just, it is relatively good on this point that can obtain current potential easily to set the GND level as above-mentioned constant potential.
In addition, it would be desirable as above-mentioned constant potential, set and not produce pixel electrode and the current potential of the potential difference (PD) of opposite electrode, the i.e. current potential identical with the current potential of opposite electrode, the degree that reaches the potential change influence demonstration that produces owing to leakage current like this needs the regular hour, can elongate the interval of repeating temporary transient ON Action, carrying out to reduce power consumption aspect the temporary transient ON Action of repetition.
Also have, in these cases, the current potential of above-mentioned strictly speaking constant potential and opposite electrode can not be idiostatic also, promptly, if because of the potential difference (PD) liquid crystal of pixel electrode and opposite electrode does not react, be the potential range that the show state (non-show state) at the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 does not change, then can regard as and satisfy above-mentioned idiostatic condition.As an example, in the TN pattern, as long as to the potential difference (PD) of constant potential (pixel electrode current potential) that source bus line 16 is supplied with and opposite electrode current potential smaller or equal to 1V (± 1V and in), because because of this potential difference (PD) liquid crystal does not react, so show state (non-show state) does not change.Also have, in other pattern, because of the value of above-mentioned potential difference (PD) changes, therefore the scope of the current potential that can set is as long as suitably select according to its pattern.
In addition, also can be set at the average voltage of the source bus line 16 of the 1st liquid crystal display 10 that drives a side as above-mentioned constant potential.Under the situation of the temporary transient ON Action of the repetition of not carrying out switch portion 19, this average voltage is the voltage convergent voltage that makes the source bus line 16 of the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 because of above-mentioned leakage current as mentioned above.Thereby, as long as the source bus line 16 of the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 is supplied with above-mentioned average voltage, just can cut down due to leakage current and the power consumption that produces.The voltage of source bus line 16 owing to know above-mentioned average voltage, therefore also can be set such constant potential in the liquid crystal indicator that exchange to change with some cycles etc.For example, like that under the situation of the AC driving that simultaneously shows of the reversal of poles of the one side voltage that will apply, can be decided to be average voltage with exchanging the medium voltage that changes at liquid crystal indicator basically to source bus line 16.In addition, in direct drive, above-mentioned average voltage also can obtain by for example input data signal being calculated (summation of removing data with the line number) etc.This is an example, and the various methods of obtaining above-mentioned average voltage are arranged, and is not limited to which method.
In addition,, also can to the voltage that source bus line 15 is supplied with, select and the immediate voltage of above-mentioned average voltage, this voltage is supplied with as above-mentioned constant voltage from for example power circuit 51 as above-mentioned constant potential.
In said structure, can reduce the power consumption of liquid crystal indicator 1.That is, obtain exactly under the situation of the circuit of above-mentioned average voltage, on this circuit, can produce power consumption in other setting.But, use existing power circuit 51, selection and utilization and the immediate voltage of average voltage just can reduce power consumption from its a plurality of output voltages.
In addition, as mentioned above, through switch portion 19 (through switching TFT 17) with constant voltage (with the immediate voltage of above-mentioned average voltage) from the source bus line 16 of the 1st liquid crystal display 10 under the situation that the source bus line 16 of the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 is supplied with, best above-mentioned constant voltage is also supplied with to the opposite electrode (COM) 27 of the 2nd liquid crystal display 20.In such structure, can easily eliminate the potential difference (PD) between pixel electrode and the opposite electrode.
Also have, as with the scope of the immediate voltage of above-mentioned average voltage, be for example be subjected to the influence of above-mentioned leakage current and whole display frame by the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 all can not very clear scope of watching voltage.As an example, in the TN pattern, as long as the potential difference (PD) of the constant voltage of supplying with to source bus line 16 (pixel electrode voltage) and opposed electrode voltage just can satisfy above-mentioned condition smaller or equal to 1V.That is, in the TN pattern, as long as the potential difference (PD) of pixel electrode and opposite electrode is smaller or equal to 1V (± 1V and in), then owing to because of this potential difference (PD) liquid crystal does not react, so show state (non-show state) does not change.Also have, in other pattern, because of the value of above-mentioned potential difference (PD) changes, therefore the scope of selectable current potential is as long as suitably set according to its pattern.
Here, aspect the undesired demonstration of carrying out at the 2nd liquid crystal display 20 of the non-show state that prevents to produce because of above-mentioned leakage current, the current potential of grid bus 24 is compared with the current potential of source bus line 16 and is not very important.But, grid bus 24 becomes big with the potential difference (PD) of opposite electrode, when the influence of this potential difference (PD) displayed in the demonstration of the 2nd liquid crystal display 20, as long as to the current potential and source bus line 16 the same controls of grid bus 24, the current potential that reaches with the same level of source bus line 16 got final product.The temporary transient ON Action of i.e. repetition by switch portion 19 to source bus line 16 supply with above-mentioned constant voltage during in, as long as supply with and the current potential of the current potential of supplying with to source bus line 16 with level from 23 pairs of grid buss of gate drivers 24.Thus, can prevent near grid bus 24, to carry out undesired demonstration, can not obtain the situation of uniform show state as whole image because of the potential difference (PD) of grid bus 24 and opposite electrode.Also have, about grid bus 24 being supplied with and the current potential of the current potential of supplying with to source bus line 16 with level, also the situation with the above-mentioned current potential of supplying with to source bus line 16 is identical, can set same allowed band according to the pattern of TN pattern etc.
In addition, awarding the structure of above-mentioned constant potential from 23 pairs of grid buss 24 of gate drivers can be as described below.That is, gate drivers 23 switch to be connected two values and the output of voltage and off voltage with switch in general display action.Therefore, as long as supply with these, switch this voltage and export with above-mentioned switch and get final product from gate drivers 23 as above-mentioned constant voltages of connecting voltage or off voltage.

In the liquid crystal indicator 2 of present embodiment, timesharing drive division 119 is arranged on the main screen 200.This timesharing drive division 119 comprises the switching TFT 17 of every the source bus line 28 that is arranged on main screen 200.The pair that these switching TFT 17 are arranged on source bus line 28 is shielded the end of 100 1 sides.
In the liquid crystal indicator 2, owing to being to be made of for example 2 source bus line 28 that the display data signal that 1 source bus line 16 of pair screen 100 is supplied with is supplied with main screen 200 with time-sharing format, therefore 2 adjacent switching TFT 17 become 1 group.And, can be through switching TFT 17 with these switching TFT of 21 group, 17 corresponding 2 source bus line 28 and 1 source bus line 16 conducting.
In addition, timesharing drive division 119 has the 1st, the 2nd switching TFT 17 corresponding the 1st, the 2nd switch controlling signal line 18a, the 18b with each group.Wherein, the 1st switch controlling signal line 18a links to each other with the grid of the 1st switching TFT 17 of each group, and the 2nd switch controlling signal line 18b links to each other with the grid of the 2nd switching TFT 17 of each group.2 source bus line 28 switching TFT 17 usefulness, that be about to respectively organize to each group of the 1st, the 2nd switch controlling signal line 18a, 18b supply timesharing driving are carried out the timesharing switch controlling signal of logotype mutually with their corresponding 1 source bus line 16.
Timesharing drive division 119 also comprises the function of switching secondary screen 100 (source bus line 16 of secondary screen 100) and main screen 200 (source bus line 28 of main screen 200).
Also have,, when considering the efficient of for example wiring, be preferably on the main screen 200, but also can shield on 100 or between secondary screen 100 and the main screen 200 in pair about the allocation position of timesharing drive division 119.
Here, secondary screen 100 is for example in used device, use as the present situation of express time, this device or the display device of some brief information, main screen 200 is used as the display device that begins the more detailed information of display message (some details) display action, the secondary screen 100 of demonstration ratio according to for example operator's operation.
Specifically be exactly, for example shown in Fig. 2 (a) and (b), in clamshell phone 40 with respect to main part 41 energy switch case portions 42, secondary screen 100 is arranged on the outside surface (outside surface when being in folded state) of case portion 42, and main screen 200 is arranged on the inside surface (inside surface when being in folded state) of case portion 42.Fig. 3 represents the longitudinal sectional drawing of major part of the case portion 42 of this state.As shown in the drawing, secondary screen 100 and main screen 200 are arranged in case portion 42 inside and lean against opposed privately state.
As mentioned above, in liquid crystal indicator 2, shield 100 1 sides in the low pair of sharpness source electrode driver 115 is set, drive two display screens (secondary screen 100 and main screen 200) by a driving circuit (source electrode driver 115), utilize 119 pairs of main screens of timesharing drive division 200 to carry out timesharing and drive, and two display screens (secondary screen 100 and main screen 200) are separated.
In above-mentioned mobile phone 40, when using mobile phone when utilizing phone to converse, when Email carries out transmit operation and when receiving mail and carry out content check etc., case portion 42 is in opening.In this case, the display action of secondary screen 100 is not worked the display action work of main screen 200.On the other hand, close case portion 42 and be under waiting status or the non-working condition, the display action work of secondary screen 100, the display action of main screen 200 is not worked.In mobile phone 40, general the state of closing case portion 42 is more owing to for example compared with the state of opening case portion 42 in one day, therefore compares with main screen 200, and the demonstration frequency of secondary screen 100 is higher.
In above-mentioned liquid crystal indicator 2, close under the state of case portion 42, having only the display action of secondary screen 100 is duty, the display action of main screen 200 is an off position.In this case, be used to switch controlling signal, all switching TFT 17 of timesharing drive division 119 are all disconnected, do not supply with display data signal to the source bus line 28 of main screen 200 from source electrode driver 115 from source electrode driver 115.In addition, gate drivers 113 moves, and gate drivers 123 stops action.
On the other hand, in the state of opening case portion 42, have only the display action of main screen 200 in running order, the display action of secondary screen 100 is in off position.In this case, by the switching TFT 17 of the timesharing drive division 119 that moves according to switch controlling signal, will supply with to the source bus line 28 of main screen 200 from the display data signal of source electrode driver 115 from source electrode driver 115.In addition, gate drivers 113 stops action, and gate drivers 123 moves.
Follow the display action that explains above-mentioned secondary screen 100 and main screen 200.
When pair screen 100 shows, as shown in figure 12, source bus line 16 is applied display data signal from source electrode driver 15, grid bus 14 is applied the signal that TFT25 uses that is switched on or switched off from gate drivers 113.Here, if the voltage of grid bus 14 is high level, the TFT25 that then links to each other with this grid bus 14 connects, and the display data signal that is applied on the source bus line 16 writes pixel (liquid crystal capacitance 26).
In the display driver of pair screen 100,,, just repeat 1 picture and show (writing) according to the order driving grid bus 14-1~14-M of line by source bus line 16-1~16-L is applied display data signal.
At this moment, because main screen 200 does not show, therefore apply low-voltage from source electrode driver 115 to the 1st, the 2nd switch controlling signal line 18a, 18b, all switching TFT 17 of timesharing drive division 119 are all disconnected, the source bus line 28-1~28-L of main screen 200 is carried out the separation of electricity.In addition, at this moment, the driving of the grid bus 24-1~24-N of main screen 200 is not carried out yet.
In above-mentioned action, under the situation that the low pair screen 100 of sharpness shows, the separation of electricity is carried out in the load of the main screen 200 that sharpness is high.Thereby, in liquid crystal indicator 2, can realize the reduction of power consumption.
On the other hand, under the situation that main screen 200 shows, as shown in figure 13, source bus line 16 is applied display data signal from source electrode driver 115, grid bus 24 is applied the signal that TFT25 uses that is switched on or switched off from gate drivers 123.At this moment, if the voltage of grid bus 24 is high level, then the TFT25 that is connected with this grid bus 24 is in on-state, and the display data signal that puts on the source bus line 16 writes pixel (liquid crystal capacitance 26).
Here, in liquid crystal indicator 2, owing to will be sent to the source bus line 28 of the high main screen of sharpness 200 through the source bus line 16 of the low pair screen 100 of sharpness from the display data signal of source electrode driver 115, so can carry out the timesharing driving to the high main screen 200 of sharpness.
In the display driver of main screen 200,,, just repeat 1 picture and show (writing) according to the order driving grid bus 24-1~24-N of line by source bus line 16-1~16-L is applied display data signal.
At this moment,, but main screen 200 is applied display data signal, therefore control being switched on or switched off of switching TFT 17 of timesharing drive division 119 because secondary screen 100 do not show.Specifically be exactly, by from the 1st, the 2nd switch controlling signal line 18a, the switch controlling signal of 18b, being switched on or switched off of the switching TFT 17 that control links to each other with them supplied with display data signal to 2 source bus line 28, for example source bus line 28-1 and the 28-2 that constitutes 1 group by timesharing.Just, the driving of grid bus 14-1~14-M is not carried out.
In above-mentioned action, under the situation that the high main screen 200 of sharpness shows, the separation of electricity is carried out in the load of pair screen 100 that can not sharpness is low, needs extra power.But, in double screen structure with the low pair screen 100 of sharpness high main screen 200 and sharpness, under the situation of clamshell phone 40 grades, the pair screen 100 that general sharpness is low is used for the purposes that shows that relatively frequency is high, and the high main screen 200 of sharpness is used for the purposes that shows that relatively frequency is low.Thereby at liquid crystal indicator 2, in the user mode, the frequency of the above-mentioned state that generation main screen 200 shows is very low, can realize the reduction of power consumption as whole liquid crystal display state 2.
Also have, the load of above-mentioned electricity mainly is because of producing at the electric capacity of the insulation division at the position of intersecting with grid bus 14 with in TFT25 stray capacitance partly etc.
In above embodiment, the switching TFT 17 as linking to each other with capacitive load also can constitute as Figure 14.Switching TFT 17 shown in this figure is made of N-channel MOS FET301 and P channel mosfet 302 and phase inverter 303.In such CMOS structure, compare with the structure of single raceway groove, much less can carry out on this aspect of switch motion exactly is, also can stably carry out voltage level control on this aspect of ability, also is reasonable from this point.Also have, as switch motion, even the structure of being made up of the on-off element of single raceway groove is also no problem.
Also have, in liquid crystal indicator 2, become several drivings of cutting apart, just can freely determine the combination of the sharpness of secondary screen 100 and main screen 200 by timesharing driving with main screen 200.In the present embodiment, owing to carry out driving for 2 sliced times of cutting apart for main screen 200, so main screen 200 can show with 2 times sharpness of the sharpness that reaches secondary screen 100.
In addition, in liquid crystal indicator 2, because switching TFT 17 dual-purposes of timesharing drive division 119 drive the switch of usefulness and the separatory switch of secondary screen 100 and main screen 200 as timesharing, therefore compare with the situation that special-purpose switch is set respectively, component number is few, simple in structure, and cost is low.
In addition, in mobile phone 40, the 1st liquid crystal display 10 (secondary screen 100) that the 1st liquid crystal display 10 (secondary screen 100) of source electrode driver 15 (115) one sides is set, in other words just is arranged on the outside surface of case portion 42 is not limited to adopt the idle structure of display action when opening case portion 42, and also can adopt is no matter whether case portion 42 opens the structure that display action is all worked always.
In above embodiment, switching TFT 17 is by driving from the signal of source electrode driver 15 or source electrode driver 115, but also can adopt the structure that is driven by other driving circuit.
Here, in the liquid crystal indicator 2 of present embodiment, as mentioned above, show, be not provided with under the situation that the main screens 200 of a side of source electrode driver 115 do not show at the pair screen 100 that has only the side that source electrode driver 115 is set, utilize timesharing drive division 119 that main screen 200 and pair screen 100 are separated.In this case, identical with the situation of liquid crystal indicator 1, following problem takes place in the demonstration of main screen 200.
That is, for the switching TFT 17 of timesharing drive division 119, be more than 1000 times of resistance value that are in on-state though be in the resistance value of off-state, being in off-state is not to be in state of insulation, can produce certain leakage current.Because this leakage current, make the current potential of source bus line 28 of main screen 200 of the side that do not drive gradually change, finally converge on the average voltage of voltage of the source bus line 16 of the pair screen 100 that drives a side.Therefore, the drain electrode of the TFT25 of main screen 200, the pixel electrode that promptly links to each other with drain electrode are applied the voltage of the source bus line 28 that gradually changes, according to the variation of the potential difference (PD) of the voltage of this voltage and opposite electrode, the show state of main screen 200 correspondingly changes.Its result can carry out undesired demonstration in the main screen 200 that does not have to drive.
In addition, in during the disconnection of timesharing drive division 119 action (main screen 200 do not carry out display action during in), do not repeat at timesharing drive division 119 under the situation of temporary transient ON Action, because the leakage current of the switching TFT 17 of timesharing drive division 119, make the current potential of source bus line 28 of main screen 200 converge on the average potential of the source bus line 16 of the pair screen 100 that carries out display action.This average potential makes every source signal line 28 that delicate difference be arranged because of the difference of the display image of pair screen 100 sometimes, in this case, each pixel electrode of main screen 200 and each potential difference (PD) of opposite electrode are inhomogeneous, and the display frame of main screen 200 is in the state that looks very uncomfortable.
In order to solve such problem, in the liquid crystal indicator 2, under the state that pair screen 100 shows and main screen 200 does not show, timesharing drive division 119 temporary transient and repetition ON Actions (repeating temporary transient ON Action), for example carry out ON Action, the source bus line 28 of main screen 200 is supplied with constant potential with some cycles.
