Please be simultaneously with reference to shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 A, wherein, Fig. 3 A is the sequential synoptic diagram that driving method of the present invention drives blue phase liquid crystal display device 1.
In step P01, transmit the first gray scale voltage G1 to pixel by data line.At this, sequentially transmit Continuity signal by scan drive circuit 4, with the described sweep trace S of sequentially conducting
11~S
1n, cooperate simultaneously data drive circuit 3, by described data line D
11~D
1mThe first gray scale voltage G1 is sent to described pixel, makes blue phase liquid crystal display device 1 displayable image picture.At this, the polarity of the first gray scale voltage G1 is for just.Should be noted that the first gray scale voltage G1 represents in a frame time among Fig. 3 A, all gray scale voltages that data drive circuit 3 transmits.In other words, the first gray scale voltage G1 is all sweep trace S of sequentially conducting of scan drive circuit 4
11~S
1nThe time, the data voltage that data drive circuit 3 transmits.
In step P02, transmit the first recovery voltage V1 to pixel by data line.At this, by the described sweep trace S of while conducting
11~S
1n, so that the first recovery voltage V1 is sent to all pixels simultaneously, and the polarity of the first recovery voltage is for negative.Wherein, the first recovery voltage V1 can make the picture of blue phase liquid crystal display device 1 display white.
In step P03, transmit the first black plug voltage B1 to pixel by data line.At this, by the described sweep trace S of while conducting
11~S
1n, so that the first black plug voltage B1 is sent to all pixels simultaneously.Wherein, the first black plug voltage B1 is traditional black insertion technology, can make the picture of blue phase liquid crystal display device 1 demonstration black, can improve the hysteresis phenomenon of blue phase liquid crystal, and its voltage can be in fact zero or other predetermined magnitudes of voltage.
The absolute value of the first recovery voltage V1 is higher than the absolute value of the first gray scale voltage G1 and the first black plug voltage B1, and the absolute value of the first recovery voltage V1 is preferably between between 1.2 times to 4 times of the absolute value of the first gray scale voltage G1 and the first black plug voltage B1.In other words, the first recovery voltage V1 has higher voltage strength.Wherein, drive characteristic difference because of multi-form blue phase liquid crystal display device 1, so the first recovery voltage V1 can be between 15 volts to 60 volts, and the first different recovery voltage V1 of characteristics design of the different blue phase liquid crystal display device 1 of user Ke Yi, and absolute value that the absolute value of the first recovery voltage V1 is higher than the first gray scale voltage G1 and the first black plug voltage B1 is preferably got final product between between 1.2 times to 4 times of the absolute value of the first gray scale voltage G1 and the first black plug voltage B1.Wherein, the first recovery voltage V1 can make the picture of blue phase liquid crystal display device 1 display white, and can eliminate or improve the dark attitude light leak of the blue phase liquid crystal of blue phase liquid crystal display device 1.
The possible cause that the first recovery voltage V1 could eliminate or improve the dark attitude light leak of blue phase liquid crystal is, because the hysteresis phenomenon of blue phase liquid crystal causes display frame can't return to dark attitude, so, in the constant situation of the crystalline network of blue phase liquid crystal, the iso lattice ball elongation of script optics can be the oval ball of tool birefraction by applying higher driving voltage (the first recovery voltage V1), again because by the constraint of macromolecular material, so after driving voltage discharges, but oval its elastic restoring force of ball mat is got back to the ball that is fettered by macromolecule.That is to say, driving along with higher the first recovery voltage V1, oval ball can have larger elastic restoring force, so after the first recovery voltage V1 drives end, the easier iso ball of optics of getting back to the macromolecule constraint of oval ball, so can allow traditional black plug picture of continuing (dark attitude) more black, and then eliminate or improve the dark attitude light leak of blue phase liquid crystal.In addition, under the first higher recovery voltage V1 drives, may destroy the crystalline network of blue phase liquid crystal and make it present nematic (nematic) liquid crystal phase, so after the first recovery voltage V1 drives end, crystalline network is got back to immediately the iso ball state of optics of macromolecule constraint and is not had hysteresis phenomenon, so can eliminate or improve the dark attitude light leak of blue phase liquid crystal.
