As schemed, operation principle of the invention and process are:
First, cls is carried out to cholesteric liquid crystal display screen.Apply frequency to all row electrodes 141, all row electrodes 151
The positive high-voltage pulse signal (such as Fig. 4) that 1/T1 is 50Hz, voltage magnitude is 30V, applies on the row electrode 151 and row electrode 141
Plus pulse signal only opposite in phase.The voltage signal of formation is after being superimposed between the two due to row electrode 141, row electrode 151
Bidirectional pulse and per flashy voltage magnitude be 30V (such as Fig. 9), more than on state of threshold voltage VC (for example on state of threshold value electricity
Pressure VC is chosen to be 25V), therefore, after voltage is acted on, the cholesteric liquid crystal molecule in mixed layer 13 corresponding to all pixels point
131 is in the conformation of rules perpendicular with the plane of first, second conductive electrode layer 14,15, as shown in figure 14, the conformation of rules pair
The visible ray of specific waveforms can produce Bragg reflection, thus on state of (P states) is externally presented.Need exist for explanation, cls
The voltage signal in stage is high voltage, and high voltage signal can well be wiped the ghost on piece image.
Then, sequential scanning line by line is carried out line by line to cholesteric liquid crystal display screen to drive, until all rows are swept
Retouch and driven, at this time, it may be necessary to the image of display is just showed.
Illustrated by taking turntable driving a line as an example below.
Apply the positive action of low-voltage pulse that frequency 1/T2 is 1KHz, voltage magnitude is 20V to the row electrode 141 of turntable driving to believe
Number (such as Fig. 5), is the d. c. voltage signal (such as Fig. 6) of 10V to other applied voltage amplitudes of row electrode 141 of not turntable driving,
Apply to be driven with to scanning to the corresponding row electrode 151 of the pixel for being driven to dark-state is needed on the row electrode 141 of turntable driving
The voltage signal (such as Fig. 7) of the voltage signal only opposite in phase applied on dynamic row electrode 141, to the row electrode of turntable driving
The corresponding row electrode 151 of the pixel of on state of applies to apply with the row electrode 141 to turntable driving when needing to keep initial on 141
Voltage signal identical voltage signal (such as Fig. 8).
Therefore, for needing to be driven to the pixel of dark-state on the row electrode 141 of turntable driving, these pixels are superimposed upon
Voltage waveform on point for bidirectional pulse and is being 20V (such as Figure 10) per flashy voltage magnitude, and dark-state threshold value is turned more than bright
Voltage VTH and less than on state of threshold voltage VC (such as the bright dark-state threshold V T H that turns is chosen to be 14V), therefore, when voltage effect
Afterwards, the cholesteric liquid crystal molecule 131 in the part of mixed layer 13 corresponding to these pixels is changed into disordered chain state, i.e., out of order
Form, as shown in figure 1, the out of order form can not produce Bragg reflection to the visible ray of specific waveforms, thus is externally presented dark
State (FC states).
For needing to be retained as the pixel of on state of on the row electrode 141 of turntable driving, it is superimposed upon on these pixels
Voltage waveform be 0, turn dark-state threshold V T H less than bright, as shown in figure 11, therefore, the mixing corresponding to these pixels
The arrangement form of the cholesteric liquid crystal molecule 131 in 13 part of layer keeps constant, still can carry out Bragg reflection, thus right
It is outer that on state of (P states) is still presented.
Other row electrodes 141 and the row electrode 151 for applying dark-state column scan pulse signal for not turntable driving are constituted
Pixel, although the voltage waveform being superimposed upon on these pixels be bidirectional pulse, the voltage magnitude of the voltage waveform |
V2-V3 | it is 10V, | V3 | is 10V, it is respectively less than bright to turn dark-state threshold V T H, as shown in figure 12, therefore, these pixel institutes
The arrangement form of the cholesteric liquid crystal molecule 131 in the part of corresponding mixed layer 13 keeps constant, and these pixels continue to keep
State originally.
Other row electrodes 141 and the row electrode 151 for applying on state of column scan pulse signal for not turntable driving are constituted
Pixel, although the voltage waveform being superimposed upon on these pixels be bidirectional pulse, the voltage magnitude of the voltage waveform |
V2-V3 | it is 10V, | V3 | is 10V, it is also respectively less than bright to turn dark-state threshold V T H, as shown in figure 13, therefore, these pixels
The arrangement form of the cholesteric liquid crystal molecule 131 in the corresponding part of mixed layer 13 also keeps constant, and these pixels continue
Keep original state.
When actually implementing, the voltage magnitude V2 of one-way low pressure pulse signal and the voltage magnitude of d. c. voltage signal can be made
V3 follows following relational expression:The voltage magnitude V2 of one-way low pressure pulse signal is equal to the voltage magnitude of the d. c. voltage signal of twice
V3, i.e. V2=2V3, so that in the turntable driving stage, the voltage integrating meter on each pixel is 0, it is achieved thereby that DC is flat
Weighing apparatus.And in the present invention, in the cls stage, the voltage integrating meter on each pixel is 0 naturally, therefore, it is clear in the present invention
The screen stage itself just maintains DC balances.
It is an advantage of the invention that:
The present invention can effectively drive cholesteric liquid crystal display screen to carry out image and show, image display effect is good, drive cost
Low, operating temperature range is wide, is applicable to the image-driven of the cholesteric liquid crystal display screen of different resolution.
