Then, carry out sensing and memory (sense and memory) action, the video data of detecting and stored user handwriting input.For example, utilize Drive and Control Circuit,, detect its state of living at each pixel of display pannel.Method for detecting is as follows: at first at each pixel of display pannel, voltage waveform with the specific detecting pixel capacitance value of Drive and Control Circuit output, collocation storer and special algorithm (Algorithm), the show state that can learn each pixel is dark attitude (F-state) or bright attitude (P-state), and the voltage waveform of this detecting pixel capacitance value possesses the function of correct detecting pixel status in the shortest time.After detecting pixel state of living in, it is stored in the storer, then at next pixel, repeat above-mentioned action, up to the detecting and the storage of the state of finishing whole pixels.
(Algorithm) is as follows for this special algorithm: the first step, detect the capacitance of this pixel, and obtain capacitance C1, and C1 is stored in this storer; Second step was dark attitude F-state (or bright attitude P-state) with this pixel drive; The 3rd goes on foot, and detects the capacitance of this pixel once more, obtains capacitance C2, and C2 is stored in this storer; The 4th step, compare C1 and C2, if C1=C2, then the show state of this pixel is dark attitude F-state (or bright attitude P-state) as can be known, if C1 ≠ C2, then the show state of this pixel is bright attitude P-state (or dark attitude F-state) as can be known, at this moment, must be bright attitude P-state (or dark attitude F-state) again with this pixel drive.
Then, as when desiring to carry out erasing move, hand input device can be carried out the pattern erasing move.For example, see also Figure 11 E, driver module is at the inferior pixel region of all color cholesterol liquid crystal panels, and output specific voltage (for example 5V) then with hand input device, directly at panel surface, at the pattern of desiring to wipe, is carried out and carried out hand-written erasing move.The cholesterol liquid crystal characteristic listed according to table one, the zone of pressurized, dark attitude (F-state) still keeps dark attitude (F-state), and bright attitude (P-state) can transfer dark attitude (F-state) to, shown in regional 1110R, 1110G, 1110B, thereby can reach the purpose and the effect of wiping pattern.
For example, import black image in this colourful cholesterin liquid-crystal display with this hand input device.Can provide black to write voltage waveform by this driver module, the impressed voltage that makes these a plurality of redness time pixel be less than 1000 volts, and the impressed voltage of the inferior pixel of this a plurality of greens is less than 1000 volts, and the impressed voltage of these a plurality of blue sub-pixels is less than 1000 volts.Then, bestow the subregion of pressure, make a plurality of colored sub-pixels in this subregion present black in this colourful cholesterin liquid-crystal display by this input media.
The embodiment of the invention is means by " specially designed impressed voltage cooperation impressed pressure " with " detecting cholesterol liquid crystal capacitance variation ", reach the function that has handwriting input and demonstration concurrently, can reach hand-write input function and Presentation Function simultaneously with single cholesterol type LCD panel.Moreover, can change cholesteric liquid crystal molecule by ambient pressure arranges, and because cholesteric liquid crystal molecule is arranged decision capacitance and light reflectivity, has bistable principle with the cholesteric liquid crystal molecule arrangement, make the cholesterol liquid crystal of display mediums, have the detecting medium of detecting handwriting input data concurrently, cholesterin liquid-crystal display is had concurrently show and input function.Moreover, simplify because its structure is relative with technology, therefore its manufacturing cost is declined to a great extent.
Though the present invention discloses as above with preferred embodiment; so it is not in order to limit scope of the present invention; any the technical staff in the technical field without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; when can doing a little change and retouching, so protection scope of the present invention is when looking being as the criterion that claim of the present invention defines.
