Below please refer to relevant indicators, to further illustrate driving method of the present invention.
Shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 A, wherein, Fig. 3 A is the time 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 sweep trace S described in turn in order
11~ S
1n, coordinate data drive circuit 3, by described data line D simultaneously
11~ D
1mfirst 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 just.It is noted that the first gray scale voltage G1 represents in a frame time in 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 scan drive circuit 4 turn in order
11~ S
1ntime, 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 while conducting described in sweep trace S
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 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 while conducting described in sweep trace S
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, blue phase liquid crystal display device 1 can be made to show the picture of 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 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, because the drive characteristic of multi-form blue phase liquid crystal display device 1 is different, therefore the first recovery voltage V1 can between 15 volts to 60 volts, and the first recovery voltage V1 that the characteristics design of the different blue phase liquid crystal display device 1 of user Ke Yi is different, and make the absolute value of the first recovery voltage V1 higher than the absolute value of the first gray scale voltage G1 and the first black plug voltage B1 preferably 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-state light leak of the blue phase liquid crystal of blue phase liquid crystal display device 1.
The possible cause that first recovery voltage V1 could eliminate or improve the dark-state light leak of blue phase liquid crystal is, hysteresis phenomenon due to blue phase liquid crystal causes display frame to return to dark-state, so, when the crystalline network of blue phase liquid crystal is constant, by applying the oval ball that iso for script optics lattice ball elongation can be tool birefraction by higher driving voltage (the first recovery voltage V1), again because by the constraint of macromolecular material, so after driving voltage release, oval ball its elastic restoring force of mat can get back to the ball fettered by macromolecule.That is, along with the driving of higher first recovery voltage V1, oval ball can have larger elastic restoring force, so after the first recovery voltage V1 driving terminates, the iso ball of optics of macromolecule constraint more easily got back to by oval ball, therefore traditional black plug picture (dark-state) of continuing can be allowed more black, and then eliminate or improve the dark-state light leak of blue phase liquid crystal.In addition, under the first higher recovery voltage V1 drives, the crystalline network of blue phase liquid crystal may be destroyed and make it present nematic (nematic) liquid crystal phase, so after the first recovery voltage V1 driving terminates, crystalline network is got back to the iso ball state of optics of macromolecule constraint immediately and is not had hysteresis phenomenon, so can eliminate or improve the dark-state light leak of blue phase liquid crystal.
