在各扫描线110和各数据线120的交叉部分处,设置像素电路150。该像素电路150除上述的TFT151之外,还包括:像素电极155;和存储电容153,其一端连接于该像素电极155并且另一端与共用线130连接。 At intersections of each
在TFT151的栅上连接扫描线110,在TFT151的源上连接数据线120,在TFT151的漏上连接像素电极155及存储电容153。因而,该TFT151按照来自扫描线110的控制信号,使数据线120与像素电极155及存储电 容153进行连接断开。 The
对向基板具有与像素电极155对向的共用电极156。该共用电极156通过设置于元件基板100四角的对向导通部105及用来连接这些对向导通部105之间的共用布线106,和共用线130连接。 The counter substrate has a

上面的电光装置1通过共用线驱动电路103使共用电极156的电位在第1电位及比该第1电位高的第2电位之间进行反相(下面,称为共用反相驱动)。在共用电极156的电位是第1电位时,通过数据线驱动电路102以比第1电位高的电位对数据线120供给图像信号(下面,称为正极性写入),在共用电极156的电位是第2电位时,以比第2电位低的电位对数据线120供给图像信号(下面,称为负极性写入)。 In the electro-
图12是以往示例所涉及的电光装置1的正极性写入时的时序图。图13是以往示例所涉及的电光装置1的负极性写入时的时序图。图12及图13表示以相同的灰度等级来写入的情形。另外,在图12、13中,VCOM是共用电极156的电位,SOURCE是数据线120的电位,GATE是扫描线110的电位,PIX是像素电极155的电位。 FIG. 12 is a timing chart at the time of positive polarity writing in the electro-
在正极性写入中,如图12所示,首先通过共用线驱动电路103使共用电极156的电位VCOM变为第1电位VCL,并从扫描线驱动电路101供给使扫描线110的电位GATE变为电位VGH的控制信号,使TFT151成为导通状态。 In positive polarity writing, as shown in FIG. 12, first, the potential VCOM of the
接着,在时刻t1,通过数据线驱动电路102供给图像信号,将数据线120的电位SOURCE从电位VP1升高为电位VP5,并通过TFT151将其 写入像素电极155及存储电容153。 Next, at time t1, an image signal is supplied through the data
接着,在时刻t2,通过扫描线驱动电路101使TFT151成为截止状态。借此,共用电极156的第1电位VCL和对像素电极155所写入的电位VP5之间的电位差被施加给液晶,由存储电容153加以保持。 Next, at time t2, the TFT 151 is turned off by the scanning
接着,在时刻t3,通过共用线驱动电路103将共用电极156的电位VCOM从第1电位VCL升高到第2电位VCH。于是,像素电极155的电位PIX其和共用电极156的电位VCOM之间的电位差,将按原状和共用电极156一起,上升为电位VP2。此时,数据线120虽然利用TFT151与像素电极155断开,但是因为和共用线130产生电容耦合,所以数据线120的电位SOURCE将上升到和像素电极155的电位PIX相同的电位VP2。 Next, at time t3, the potential VCOM of the
下面,在负极性写入中,如图13所示,首先通过共用线驱动电路103使共用电极156的电位VCOM变为第2电位VCH,并从扫描线驱动电路101供给使扫描线110的电位GATE变为电位VGH的控制信号,使TFT151成为导通状态。 Next, in writing with negative polarity, as shown in FIG. GATE becomes a control signal of potential VGH, and turns
接着,在时刻t5,通过数据线驱动电路102供给图像信号,使数据线120的电位SOURCE从电位VP2降低为电位VP6,并通过TFT151将其写入像素电极155及存储电容153。 Next, at time t5, the image signal is supplied from the data
接着,在时刻t6,通过扫描线驱动电路101使TFT151成为截止状态。借此,共用电极156的第2电位VCH和对像素电极155所写入的电位VP6之间的电位差被施加给液晶,由存储电容153加以保持。 Next, at time t6, the scanning
接着,在时刻t7,通过共用线驱动电路103将共用电极156的电位VCOM从第2电位VCH降低到第1电位VCL。于是,像素电极155的电位PIX其和共用电极156的电位VCOM之间的电位差,将按原状和共用电极156一起,下降为电位VP1。此时,数据线120虽然利用TFT151与像素电极155断开,但是因为和共用线130产生电容耦合,所以数据线120的电位SOURCE将下降到和像素电极155的电位PIX相同的电位VP1。 Next, at time t7, the potential VCOM of the
根据这种电光装置1,具有可以防止液晶面板AA的液晶画面图像残留现象这样的效果。 According to such an electro-
可是,对于上述以往的电光装置1而言,由于在将数据线120的电位SOURCE从电位VP1升高为电位VP5时,以及将数据线120的电位SOURCE从电位VP2降低为电位VP6时,要消耗功率,因而功率消耗增大。另外,将图像信号写入像素电极155的时间也增长。 However, in the above-mentioned conventional electro-
再者,因为当进行正极性写入时,在数据线120和共用线130中产生电容耦合,所以若使共用电极156的电位VCOM从第1电位VCL上升到第2电位VCH,则数据线120的电位SOURCE上升到和像素电极155的电位PIX相同的电位VP2。另外,因为当进行负极性写入时,在数据线120和共用线130中产生电容耦合,所以若共用电极156的电位VCOM从第2电位VCH下降到第1电位VCL,则数据线120的电位SOURCE下降到和像素电极155的电位PIX相同的电位VP1。因而,存在给数据线驱动电路102施加过大的电压、损伤数据线驱动电路102的危险。 Furthermore, since capacitive coupling occurs between the
针对上面的问题,人们提出了具备下述预充电电路的电光装置,该预充电电路具有较大的电容(例如,参见专利文献1)。另外,还提出了具备下述预充电电路的电光装置,该预充电电路用来对数据线供给驱动电压(例如,参见专利文献2)。 In view of the above problems, electro-optical devices provided with a precharge circuit having a large capacitance have been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 1). In addition, an electro-optical device including a precharge circuit for supplying a driving voltage to a data line has also been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 2). the
根据专利文献1所示的具备预充电电路的电光装置,在正极性写入中升高共用电极的电位时,通过在预充电电路的较大电容和数据线之间使电荷产生移动,来防止数据线的电位上升到和像素电极相同的电位。另外,在负极性写入中降低共用电极的电位时,通过在预充电电路的较大电容和数据线之间使电荷产生移动,来防止数据线的电位下降到和像素电极相同的电位。 According to the electro-optic device including the precharge circuit disclosed in
因而,不用给数据线供给驱动电压,就可以抑制数据线的电位上升或下降,因此能够减低功率消耗。另外,还可以防止损伤数据线驱动电路。 Therefore, without supplying a driving voltage to the data line, the rise or fall of the potential of the data line can be suppressed, so that power consumption can be reduced. In addition, damage to the data line driving circuit can also be prevented. the
另外,根据专利文献2所述的具备预充电电路的电光装置,在正极性写入中升高共用电极的电位之前,事先从预充电电路供给驱动电压而将数据线的电位升高到和共用电极相同的电位。另外,在负极性写入中降低共用电极的电位之前,事先从预充电电路供给驱动电压而将数据线的电位降 低到和共用电极相同的电位。 In addition, according to the electro-optic device including the precharge circuit described in
因而,通过供给驱动电压,就可以减小写入图像信号的前后的电位差,因此可以缩短将图像信号写入像素电极的时间。 Therefore, by supplying the driving voltage, the potential difference before and after writing the image signal can be reduced, and thus the time for writing the image signal to the pixel electrode can be shortened. the

可是,近年来装载有电光装置的便携式电话机等便携设备的普及较为明显,而对于这种电光装置来说,伴随高功能化、高性能化的功率消耗增加却成为问题。为此,人们要求一种可以减低功率消耗的电光装置。但是,就上述专利文献1所示的电光装置而言,不能认为已充分适应了这种要求。另外,就专利文献2所示的电光装置而言,虽然能抑制数据线写入时的功率消耗,但是因为在预充电电路中要消耗功率,所以综合来看难以减低功率消耗。 However, in recent years, portable devices such as mobile phones equipped with electro-optical devices have been widely spread. However, for such electro-optical devices, the increase in power consumption accompanying higher functionality and higher performance has become a problem. Therefore, an electro-optical device capable of reducing power consumption is required. However, the electro-optical device disclosed in
发明内容Contents of the invention

为了解决上述问题,本发明提供下面的电光装置、电光装置的驱动方法及电子设备。 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides the following electro-optical device, driving method of the electro-optical device, and electronic equipment. the
本发明的电光装置具备:第1基板,其具有多根扫描线、与这些扫描线大致正交的多根数据线、与上述扫描线大致平行且交替设置的多根共用线以及对应于上述扫描线及上述数据线的交叉处所设置的多个像素电路;第2基板,与该第1基板对向设置;以及电光物质,设置于上述第1基板及上述第2基板之间;上述像素电路具有:像素电极;存储电容,一端连接于该像素电极并且另一端与上述共用线连接;以及开关元件,用来按照来自上述扫描线的控制信号,使上述数据线与上述像素电极及上述存储电容进行连接断开;上述第2基板具有与上述共用线连接的共用电极;电光装置具有:共用线驱动电路,用来将第1电位或比该第1电位高的第2电位的驱动信号供给上述共用线;数据线驱动电路,用来在上述共用电极的 电位是上述第1电位时,以比上述第1电位高的电位对上述数据线供给图像信号,在上述共用电极的电位是上述第2电位时,以比上述第2电位低的电位对上述数据线供给图像信号;以及扫描线驱动电路,用来对上述扫描线供给使上述开关元件导通、截止的控制信号;其特征为,上述共用线驱动电路具有:驱动信号供给电路,用来供给上述第1电位或上述第2电位的驱动信号;和驱动信号供给开关,用来对该驱动信号供给电路及上述共用线进行连接断开;还具备均衡电路,用来对上述数据线及上述共用进行连接断开,使上述数据线及上述共用线均衡。 The electro-optical device of the present invention includes: a first substrate having a plurality of scanning lines, a plurality of data lines substantially perpendicular to these scanning lines, a plurality of common lines arranged alternately substantially parallel to the scanning lines, and a plurality of data lines corresponding to the scanning lines. A plurality of pixel circuits arranged at the intersection of the line and the above-mentioned data line; the second substrate is arranged opposite to the first substrate; and the electro-optic material is arranged between the above-mentioned first substrate and the above-mentioned second substrate; the above-mentioned pixel circuit has : a pixel electrode; a storage capacitor, one end connected to the pixel electrode and the other end connected to the above-mentioned common line; and a switch element, used to make the above-mentioned data line, the above-mentioned pixel electrode and the above-mentioned storage capacitor according to the control signal from the above-mentioned scanning line. The connection is disconnected; the above-mentioned second substrate has a common electrode connected to the above-mentioned common line; the electro-optic device has: a common line drive circuit, which is used to supply a driving signal of a first potential or a second potential higher than the first potential to the common electrode. line; a data line drive circuit for supplying an image signal to the data line at a potential higher than the first potential when the potential of the common electrode is the first potential, and the potential of the common electrode is the second potential , an image signal is supplied to the data line at a potential lower than the second potential; and a scanning line driving circuit is used to supply a control signal for turning the switching element on and off to the scanning line; it is characterized in that the common The line drive circuit has: a drive signal supply circuit for supplying a drive signal of the first potential or the second potential; and a drive signal supply switch for connecting and disconnecting the drive signal supply circuit and the common line; An equalizing circuit is provided for connecting and disconnecting the data line and the common line to equalize the data line and the common line. the
根据本发明,按下面的步骤来进行正极性写入。 According to the present invention, positive polarity writing is performed in the following steps. the
首先,通过共用线驱动电路使共用电极变为第1电位,并且从扫描线驱动电路对扫描线供给控制信号,使开关元件成为导通状态。接着,从数据线驱动电路对数据线供给图像信号,并通过开关元件将其写入像素电极及存储电容。接下来,通过扫描线驱动电路使开关元件成为截止状态。借此,共用电极的第1电位和对像素电极所写入的电位之间的电位差被施加给液晶,由存储电容加以保持。 First, the common electrode is brought to the first potential by the common line driving circuit, and a control signal is supplied from the scanning line driving circuit to the scanning lines to bring the switching elements into a conductive state. Next, an image signal is supplied to the data line from the data line driving circuit, and written into the pixel electrode and the storage capacitor through the switching element. Next, the switching element is turned off by the scanning line driving circuit. Thereby, the potential difference between the first potential of the common electrode and the potential written to the pixel electrode is applied to the liquid crystal and held by the storage capacitor. the
接着,通过共用线驱动电路将共用电极从第1电位升高到第2电位。于是,像素电极的电位其和共用电极之间的电位差,按原状和共用电极一起上升。此时,数据线虽然利用开关元件与像素电极断开,但是因为和共用线产生电容耦合,所以数据线的电位将上升到和像素电极相同的电位。 Next, the common electrode is raised from the first potential to the second potential by the common line driving circuit. Then, the potential difference between the potential of the pixel electrode and the common electrode rises together with the common electrode as it is. At this time, although the data line is disconnected from the pixel electrode by the switching element, the potential of the data line rises to the same potential as the pixel electrode due to capacitive coupling with the common line. the
因此,包括驱动信号供给电路和驱动信号供给开关地构成共用线驱动电路,使驱动信号供给开关暂时成为断开状态,并且由均衡电路来连接数据线和共用线。于是,没有来自驱动信号供给电路的驱动电压供给,就在数据线和共用电极之间通过共用线产生电荷的移动。因而,数据线不是与像素电极,而是与共用电极成为大致相同的电位。 Therefore, the common line drive circuit is configured including the drive signal supply circuit and the drive signal supply switch, the drive signal supply switch is temporarily turned off, and the equalization circuit connects the data line and the common line. Then, without the supply of the drive voltage from the drive signal supply circuit, the transfer of charge occurs between the data line and the common electrode via the common line. Therefore, the data line has substantially the same potential as the common electrode, not the pixel electrode. the
另外,按下面的步骤来进行负极性写入。 In addition, negative polarity writing is performed in the following procedure. the
首先,通过共用线驱动电路使共用电极变为第2电位,并且从扫描线驱动电路对扫描线供给控制信号,使开关元件成为导通状态。接着,从数据线驱动电路对数据线供给图像信号,并通过开关元件将其写入像素电极 及存储电容。接下来,通过扫描线驱动电路使开关元件成为截止状态。借此,共用电极的第2电位和对像素电极所写入的电位之间的电位差被施加给液晶,由存储电容加以保持。 First, the common electrode is brought to the second potential by the common line driving circuit, and a control signal is supplied to the scanning lines from the scanning line driving circuit to bring the switching elements into a conductive state. Next, an image signal is supplied to the data line from the data line driving circuit, and written into the pixel electrode and the storage capacitor through the switching element. Next, the switching element is turned off by the scanning line driving circuit. Thereby, the potential difference between the second potential of the common electrode and the potential written to the pixel electrode is applied to the liquid crystal and held by the storage capacitor. the
接着,通过共用线驱动电路将共用电极从第2电位降低到第1电位。于是,像素电极的电位其和共用电极之间的电位差,按原状和共用电极一起下降。此时,数据线虽然利用开关元件与像素电极断开,但是因为和共用线产生电容耦合,所以数据线的电位将下降到和像素电极相同的电位。 Next, the common electrode is lowered from the second potential to the first potential by the common line driving circuit. Then, the potential difference between the potential of the pixel electrode and the common electrode decreases together with the common electrode as it is. At this time, although the data line is disconnected from the pixel electrode by the switching element, the potential of the data line drops to the same potential as the pixel electrode due to capacitive coupling with the common line. the
在此,包括驱动信号供给电路和驱动信号供给开关地构成共用线驱动电路,使驱动信号供给开关暂时成为断开状态,并且由均衡功能电路来连接数据线和共用线。于是,没有来自驱动信号供给电路的驱动电压供给,就在数据线和共用电极之间通过共用线产生电荷的移动。因而,数据线不是和像素电极,而是和共用电极成为大致相同的电位。 Here, the common line drive circuit is configured including a drive signal supply circuit and a drive signal supply switch, the drive signal supply switch is temporarily turned off, and the equalization function circuit connects the data line and the common line. Then, without the supply of the drive voltage from the drive signal supply circuit, the transfer of charge occurs between the data line and the common electrode via the common line. Therefore, the data line has substantially the same potential as the common electrode, not the pixel electrode. the
如上所述,因为当使驱动信号供给开关成为暂时断开状态时,没有来自驱动信号供给电路的驱动电压供给,就在数据线和共用电极之间产生电荷的移动,可以利用该电荷使数据线、共用电极的电位产生变化,所以可以减低功率消耗。 As described above, when the drive signal supply switch is temporarily turned off, there is no drive voltage supply from the drive signal supply circuit, and the movement of charges occurs between the data line and the common electrode. , The potential of the common electrode changes, so the power consumption can be reduced. the
而且,数据线向对下一步的图像信号写入有利的方向其电位进行变化,共用电极也向有利于下一步的反相工作的方向其电位进行变化。因而,可以缩短对像素电极的图像信号写入时间、共用电极反相所需要的时间。 Furthermore, the potential of the data line is changed in a direction favorable for writing an image signal in the next step, and the potential of the common electrode is also changed in a direction favorable for the reverse phase operation in the next step. Therefore, it is possible to shorten the writing time of the image signal to the pixel electrode and the time required for inversion of the common electrode. the
另外,由于数据线不是和像素电极,而是和共用电极成为大致相同的电位,因而在进行正极性写入时,不上升到像素电极那么高的电位。另一方面,在进行负极性写入时,不下降到像素电极那么低的电位。因而,可以防止超过数据线驱动电路耐压能力的电压起作用。 Also, since the data line has substantially the same potential as the common electrode, not the pixel electrode, the potential does not rise as high as that of the pixel electrode when positive polarity writing is performed. On the other hand, when negative polarity writing is performed, the potential does not drop as low as that of the pixel electrode. Thus, a voltage exceeding the withstand voltage capability of the data line driving circuit can be prevented from acting. the
另外,在上述电光装置中,优选的是,上述数据线驱动电路具有移位寄存器,该移位寄存器中,若输入了起动信号,则通过将该起动信号与时钟同步进行传输,来依次输出抽样信号。 In addition, in the above-mentioned electro-optical device, it is preferable that the data line drive circuit has a shift register, and when an activation signal is input to the shift register, the activation signal is transmitted in synchronization with a clock to sequentially output samples. Signal. the
根据本发明,移位寄存器若输入了起动信号,则通过将该起动信号与时钟同步进行传输,来依次输出抽样信号。按照该抽样信号,对多根数据 线之中的每1根依次供给图像信号。 According to the present invention, when an activation signal is input to the shift register, the activation signal is transmitted in synchronization with a clock to sequentially output sampling signals. According to the sampling signal, an image signal is sequentially supplied to each of the plurality of data lines. the
对于利用移位寄存器的点顺序驱动来说,因为数据线驱动电路采用简单的结构就可以,所以能够容易制造,并且可以抑制电路规模。 For dot sequential driving using a shift register, since the data line driving circuit only needs to have a simple structure, it can be easily manufactured and the circuit scale can be suppressed. the
另外,根据以往进行点顺序驱动的电光装置,随着像素密度的增加,难以确保对像素电极写入图像信号的时间。而根据具备上述均衡功能电路的进行点顺序驱动的电光装置,即使像素密度有所增加,因为数据线向对下一步的图像信号写入有利的方向其电位进行变化,所以仍可以确保对像素电极写入图像信号的时间。 In addition, in conventional electro-optical devices that perform dot sequential driving, it is difficult to secure a time for writing an image signal to a pixel electrode as the pixel density increases. And according to the electro-optic device that carries out dot sequential drive with the above-mentioned equalization function circuit, even if the pixel density is increased, because the potential of the data line changes to the direction that is beneficial to the image signal writing in the next step, so the pixel electrode can still be ensured. The time to write the image signal. the
另外,在上述电光装置中,优选的是,上述数据线驱动电路具有包括多个传输门的多路分配电路,该传输门若输入了控制信号及使该控制信号反相后的反相控制信号,则相应于上述控制信号及上述反相控制信号进行导通、截止;由上述多个传输门有选择地分配模拟图像信号。 In addition, in the above-mentioned electro-optic device, preferably, the above-mentioned data line drive circuit has a demultiplexing circuit including a plurality of transmission gates, and if the transmission gate receives a control signal and an inverted control signal obtained by inverting the control signal, , then corresponding to the above-mentioned control signal and the above-mentioned anti-phase control signal to conduct on and off; the above-mentioned multiple transmission gates selectively distribute the analog image signal. the
根据本发明,在多路分配电路的输入端子上连接传输门的一方的端子,在输出端子上分别连接传输门的另一方的端子。而且,对多路分配电路的输入端子,供给例如R(红)、G(绿)、B(蓝)之类的多个图像信号混合后的模拟图像信号,并且与该模拟图像信号的供给同步,使各控制信号依次成为有效。 According to the present invention, one terminal of the transmission gate is connected to the input terminal of the demultiplexing circuit, and the other terminal of the transmission gate is connected to the output terminals. Furthermore, to the input terminal of the demultiplexing circuit, for example, an analog image signal obtained by mixing a plurality of image signals such as R (red), G (green), and B (blue) is supplied, and is synchronized with the supply of the analog image signal. , making each control signal valid in turn. the
于是,传输门依次从高阻抗状态变成导通状态,各数据线被依次选择。借此,从模拟图像信号之中,只有R(红)、G(绿)、B(蓝)的图像信号从输出端子依次输出,供给对应的数据线。 Then, the transmission gates are sequentially changed from the high-impedance state to the conductive state, and each data line is sequentially selected. Thereby, among the analog image signals, only image signals of R (red), G (green), and B (blue) are sequentially output from the output terminal and supplied to corresponding data lines. the
由于具有这种多路分配电路,因而可以混合多个图像信号进行供给,因此能够抑制传输路径的数目,可以抑制电路规模,并且可以减低功率消耗。 Since such a demultiplexing circuit is provided, a plurality of image signals can be mixed and supplied, so that the number of transmission paths can be suppressed, the circuit scale can be suppressed, and power consumption can be reduced. the
另外,在上述电光装置中,优选的是,上述数据线驱动电路具有将数字图像信号转换成模拟图像信号的D/A转换电路,是以所供给的上述数字图像信号作为上述模拟图像信号供给上述数据线的数字线顺序驱动。 In addition, in the above-mentioned electro-optical device, it is preferable that the data line driving circuit has a D/A conversion circuit for converting a digital image signal into an analog image signal, and supplies the supplied digital image signal as the analog image signal to the The data lines are driven digitally sequentially. the
根据本发明,例如相应于来自移位寄存器的抽样信号,将数字图像信号转换成模拟图像信号。然后,通过对各数据线依次供给模拟图像信号, 来进行数字线顺序驱动。 According to the present invention, for example, a digital image signal is converted into an analog image signal corresponding to a sampled signal from a shift register. Then, digital line sequential driving is performed by sequentially supplying an analog image signal to each data line. the
这样,采用数字线顺序驱动,就可以对数据线驱动电路供给数字图像信号。因此,与对数据线驱动电路供给模拟图像信号的情形相比,可以提高传输路径上的抗干扰性。 In this way, digital image signals can be supplied to the data line driving circuit by sequentially driving the digital lines. Therefore, compared with the case where an analog image signal is supplied to the data line driving circuit, the noise immunity on the transmission path can be improved. the

图1是本发明第1实施方式所涉及的电光装置1A的平面图。电光装置1A和图11的电光装置1的不同之处为,具有均衡功能电路201以及共用线驱动电路103A的结构。 FIG. 1 is a plan view of an electro-optical device 1A according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The difference between the electro-optical device 1A and the electro-
均衡功能电路201用来与控制信号CP同步,对数据线120及共用线130进行连接断开。具体而言,在本实施方式中,均衡功能电路201在控制信号CP是「H」电平时,连接数据线120及共用线130,在控制信号CP是「L」电平时,将数据线120及共用线130断开。 The
共用线驱动电路103A具备:驱动信号供给电路21,用来供给第1电位或比该第1电位高的第2电位的驱动信号;和驱动信号供给开关22,用来对该驱动信号供给电路21及共用线130进行连接断开。 The common
驱动信号供给电路21具备电源IC(集成电路)211,用来按预定周期交替输出第1电位或第2电位。 The drive
驱动信号供给开关22具备:驱动IC221,用来生成控制信号CC;和开关机构222,用来相应于来自该驱动IC221的控制信号CC进行导通、断开。具体而言,在本实施方式中,开关机构222在控制信号CC是「H」电平时,将驱动信号供给电路21及共用线130断开,在控制信号CC是「L」电平时,连接驱动信号供给电路21及共用线130。 The drive
上述共用线驱动电路103A在相应于驱动IC221所生成的控制信号CC其开关机构222为导通状态时,将从电源IC211按预定周期交替输出的第1电位或第2电位供给共用线130。 The common
图2是采用共用反相驱动方式的正极性写入时电光装置1A的时序图。 图3是采用共用反相驱动方式的负极性写入时电光装置1A的时序图。图2及图3表示以相同的灰度等级来写入的情形。另外,在图2、3中,VCOM是共用电极156的电位,SOURCE是数据线120的电位,GATE是扫描线110的电位,PIX是像素电极155的电位。 FIG. 2 is a timing chart of the electro-optical device 1A at the time of positive polarity writing using the common inversion driving method. FIG. 3 is a timing chart of the electro-optical device 1A during negative polarity writing using the common inversion driving method. 2 and 3 show the case of writing with the same gray scale. In addition, in FIGS. 2 and 3 , VCOM is the potential of the
在正极性写入中,如图2所示,首先通过共用线驱动电路103A将共用电极156的电位VCOM变为第1电位VCL,并从扫描线驱动电路101供给使扫描线110的电位GATE变为电位VGH的控制信号,使TFT151成为导通状态。数据线120的电位SOURCE因为由下述作为均衡电路的均衡功能电路201进行的数据线120和共用线130之间的连接,所以是和共用电极156的电位VCOM大致相同的电位。 In positive polarity writing, as shown in FIG. 2 , first, the potential VCOM of the
接着,在时刻t1,通过数据线驱动电路102供给图像信号,将数据线120的电位SOURCE从电位VCL升高为电位VP5,并通过TFT151将其写入像素电极155及存储电容153。 Next, at time t1, the image signal is supplied from the data line driving
接着,在时刻t2,通过扫描线驱动电路101使TFT151成为截止状态。借此,共用电极156的第1电位VCL和对像素电极155所写入的电位VP5之间的电位差被施加给液晶,由存储电容153加以保持。 Next, at time t2, the
接着,在时刻t3,要通过共用线驱动电路103A将共用电极156的电位VCOM从第1电位VCL升高到第2电位VCH。于是,像素电极155的电位PIX,使其和共用电极156的电位VCOM之间的电位差按原状地、将和共用电极156一起上升到电位VP2。此时,数据线120虽然利用TFT151与像素电极155断开,但是因为和共用线130产生电容耦合,所以数据线120的电位SOURCE将上升到和像素电极155的电位PIX相同的电位VP2。 Next, at time t3, the potential VCOM of the
因此,在时刻t3,将控制信号CC、CP从电位VCPL变为电位VCPH。于是,开关机构222成为断开状态,均衡功能电路201连接数据线120及共用线130。于是,没有来自驱动信号供给电路21的驱动电压供给,就在数据线120和共用电极156之间通过共用线130产生电荷的移动。因而,数据线120的电位SOURCE不是和像素电极155的电位PIX,而是将和 共用电极156的电位VCOM成为大致相同的电位。 Therefore, at time t3, control signals CC and CP are changed from potential VCPL to potential VCPH. Then, the
接着,在时刻t4,将控制信号CC、CP从电位VCPH变为电位VCPL。于是,开关机构222成为导通状态,均衡功能电路201将数据线120及共用线130断开。因而,数据线120虽然利用TFT151与像素电极155断开,但是因为和共用线130产生电容耦合,所以数据线120的电位SOURCE将和共用电极156的电位VCOM一起,上升为第2电位VCH。 Next, at time t4, the control signals CC and CP are changed from the potential VCPH to the potential VCPL. Then, the
这样,通过将控制信号CC、CP暂时变为电位VCPH,数据线120的电位SOURCE就成为和共用电极156的电位VCOM大致相同的电位。接着,因为数据线120和共用线130产生电容耦合,所以通过将控制信号CC、CP变为电位VCPL,数据线120的电位SOURCE就和共用电极156的电位VCOM一起,上升到和第2电位VCH大致相同的电位。 In this way, by temporarily changing the control signals CC and CP to the potential VCPH, the potential SOURCE of the
下面,在负极性写入中,如图3所示,首先通过共用线驱动电路103A将共用电极156的电位VCOM变为第2电位VCH,并从扫描线驱动电路101供给使扫描线110的电位GATE变为电位VGH的控制信号,使TFT151成为导通状态。数据线120的电位SOURCE因为由上述均衡功能电路201进行的数据线120和共用线130之间的连接,所以是和共用电极156的电位VCOM大致相同的电位。 Next, in writing with negative polarity, as shown in FIG. GATE becomes a control signal of potential VGH, and turns
接着,在时刻t5,通过数据线驱动电路102供给图像信号,将数据线120的电位SOURCE从电位VCH降低到电位VP6,通过TFT151将其写入像素电极155及存储电容153。 Next, at time t5, the image signal is supplied from the data line driving
接着,在时刻t6,通过扫描线驱动电路101使TFT151成为截止状态。借此,共用电极156的第2电位VCH和对像素电极155所写入的电位VP6之间的电位差被施加给液晶,由存储电容153加以保持。 Next, at time t6, the scanning
接着,在时刻t7,要通过共用线驱动电路103A将共用电极156的电位VCOM从第2电位VCH降低到第1电位VCL。于是,像素电极155的电位PIX,使其和共用电极156的电位VCOM之间的电位差按原状地、将和共用电极156一起下降为电位VP1。此时,数据线120虽然利用TFT151与像素电极155断开,但是因为和共用线130产生电容耦合,所以数据线 120的电位SOURCE将下降到和像素电极155的电位PIX相同的电位VP1。 Next, at time t7, the potential VCOM of the
因此,在时刻t7,将控制信号CC、CP从电位VCPL变为电位VCPH。于是,开关机构222成为断开状态,均衡功能电路201连接数据线120及共用线130。于是,没有来自驱动信号供给电路21的驱动电压供给,就在数据线120和共用电极156之间通过共用线130产生电荷的移动。因而,数据线120的电位SOURCE不是和像素电极155的电位PIX,而是将和共用电极156的电位VCOM成为大致相同的电位。 Therefore, at time t7, control signals CC and CP are changed from potential VCPL to potential VCPH. Then, the
接着,在时刻t8,将控制信号CC、CP从电位VCPH变为电位VCPL。于是,开关机构222成为导通状态,均衡功能电路201将数据线120及共用线130断开。因而,数据线120虽然利用TFT151与像素电极155断开,但是因为和共用线130产生电容耦合,所以数据线120的电位SOURCE将和共用电极156的电位VCOM一起,下降为第1电位VCL。 Next, at time t8, the control signals CC and CP are changed from the potential VCPH to the potential VCPL. Then, the
这样,通过将控制信号CC、CP暂时变为电位VCPH,数据线120的电位SOURCE就成为和共用电极156的电位VCOM大致相同的电位。接着,因为数据线120和共用线130产生电容耦合,所以通过将控制信号CC、CP变为电位VCPL,数据线120的电位SOURCE就和共用电极156的电位VCOM一起,上升到和第1电位VCL大致相同的电位。 In this way, by temporarily changing the control signals CC and CP to the potential VCPH, the potential SOURCE of the
根据本实施方式,具有如下的效果。 According to this embodiment, there are the following effects. the
(1)因为当使开关机构222暂时成为断开状态时,没有来自驱动信号供给电路21的驱动电压供给,就在数据线120和共用电极156之间产生电荷的移动,可以利用该电荷使数据线120、共用电极156的电位产生变化,所以可以减低功率消耗。 (1) Because when the

(3)由于数据线120不是和像素电极155,而是和共用电极156成为 大致相同的电位,因而在进行了正极性写入时,不上升到像素电极155那么高的电位。另一方面,在进行了负极性写入时,不下降到像素电极155那么低的电位。因而,可以防止超过数据线驱动电路102耐压能力的电压起作用。 (3) Since the
