Abstract
A potential of a data signal line (S) during a non-scanning period is charged to a substantially intermediate potential of a data signal at a corresponding frame, wherein the data signal line is in a floating state because the output of a data signal line driving circuit (SD) is changed into high impedance by a charging circuit. Thus, extremely large dispersion does not occur in a potential of each pixel capacitor with respect to a potential of the data signal line (S), so that it is possible to restrict dispersion of a leak current flowing via an active element of each pixel. Thus, potential variation of a pixel (PIX) is reduced, so that it is possible to improve display quality during a non-scanning period. That is, in an active-matrix-type liquid crystal display, when a frame frequency is reduced by setting the non-scanning period to be sufficiently larger than a scanning period while a standby image is being displayed so as to realize low power consumption, the display quality is improved.

Background technology
Fig. 8 is the image display apparatus of the typical prior art of expression active matric, is the block scheme that expression constitutes the electrical structure of liquid crystal indicator 1.This liquid crystal indicator 1 roughly comprises display part 2, scan signal line drive circuit gd, data signal wire driving circuit sd, control signal generation circuit ct1.Such as mentioned above, display part 2 is by cross one another a plurality of scan signal line g1, g2 ... gm is (when following general name, to represent with reference symbol g) and data signal line s1, s2 ... sn (when general name, below representing with reference symbol s) is divided into each rectangular zone and goes up configuration pixel PIX.
As shown in Figure 9, above-mentioned each pixel PIX comprises active component SW and pixel capacitance Cp.When the selected scanning of said scanning signals line g, active component SW is taken into the picture intelligence DAT of data signal line s among the above-mentioned visual capacitor C p, also keeps this picture intelligence DAT to proceed to show during non-selection.Above-mentioned pixel capacitance Cp is made of liquid crystal capacitance CL and auxiliary capacitor Cs.
Above-mentioned data signal wire driving circuit Sd is made of shift register 3 and sample circuit 4.The effect of above-mentioned data signal wire driving circuit sd is, make shift register 3 with synchronous from the clock signal of clock signal C KS, its reverse signal CKSB of above-mentioned control signal generation circuit ct1 and data scanning start signal SPS etc., the picture intelligence DAT that inputs to the analog switch of sample circuit 4 is sampled, be written in each data signal line s as required.
Said scanning signals line drive circuit gd is made of shift register 5, with synchronous from the clock signal of the clock signal C KG of above-mentioned control signal generation circuit ct1, scanning start signal SPG etc., select each scan signal line g of scanning successively, be controlled at the ON/OFF of the active component SW in the pixel PIX.When active component SW is ON, write the picture intelligence DAT of each data signal line s, write each pixel PIX as described above, kept by the visual capacitor C p in each pixel PIX.By repeating above action, can be on display part 2 displayed image.
Figure 10 is the oscillogram of the drive waveform examples used of the above-mentioned write activity of expression.Drive in the example at this, adopt the driving method of horizontal line inversion mode.Import and clock signal C KS, CKSB and the synchronous input image signal DAT of data scanning start signal SPS to data signal wire driving circuit Sd from above-mentioned control generation circuit ct1.Respond above-mentioned clock signal C KS, CKSB and data scanning start signal SPS, successively to odd number scan signal line gi (g1, g3 ...) and even-line interlace signal wire gj+1 (g2, g4 ...) the output strobe pulse, and above-mentioned picture signal DAT write each data signal line si (s1, s2 successively ...) pixel in.In this embodiment, the picture intelligence of positive polarity is write odd number scan signal line gi (g1, g3 ...) pixel in, and even-line interlace signal wire gj+1 (g2, g4 ...) pixel in write the picture intelligence of negative polarity.
; in recent years; requirement to the low consumption electric power of image display apparatus is strong; as one of them countermeasure; consideration shows the occasion of the dynamic image that still image and refresh rate are low on standby picture; by non-scan period being set longer fully, thereby realize the frame frequency driving method of low consumption electric power than scan period.Use the low frame rate driving method, can frame resemble and image is write among the pixel PIX above-mentioned, make number stop scanning (2～8) image durations, set non-scan period longer fully than scan period.The action that utilizes this low frame rate to drive the data signal wire driving circuit sd of method is shown among Figure 11.
In scan period, said scanning signals line g1, g2 ... on, derive strobe pulse in order.Corresponding, in order to adopt the driving method of above-mentioned horizontal line reversible type, picture intelligence DAT from each horizontal scan period reversal of poles of above-mentioned control signal generation circuit ct1 input, to data signal line si arbitrarily, by the level of the corresponding i data signal line si of above-mentioned sample circuit 4 outputs.To each pixel PIX1, PIX2 ..., write the level of the above-mentioned data signal line si on edge behind the above-mentioned strobe pulse, keep in the whole non-scan period more than an above-mentioned image duration later on.
At this, as shown in Figure 12, when being conceived to pixel PIX1, the PIX2 corresponding with the above-mentioned si of data signal line arbitrarily and scan signal line g1, g2, carrying out the occasion that above-mentioned low frame rate drives, the electric charge that is kept in scan period by the above-mentioned visual capacitor C p of pixel PIX1, PIX2 after finishing scan period utilizes among above-mentioned active component SW and the data signal line si and separates., in fact between source electrode one drain electrode of above-mentioned active component SW, be applied with voltage VDS.And the capacity ratio pixel capacitance Cp of data signal line si is much bigger.
Therefore, after scan period finishes, when scan signal line si is in the current potential in its end of scan moment, voltage VDS is that the difference of current potential of the current potential of pixel capacitance Cp and data signal line si is big more between above-mentioned source drain, easy more generation leakage current, and the electric charge that remains among the pixel capacitance Cp is flowed out.About this point, the above-mentioned auxiliary capacitor Cs of employing increase etc. are to reduce the influence of above-mentioned leakage current to showing as far as possible.
Yet, as mentioned above, above-mentioned leakage current changes along with voltage VDS between source drain, and usually keeps the quantity of electric charge (current potential) that has nothing in common with each other by the response displayed image on each pixel PIX, so voltage VDS is different for each pixel PIX between above-mentioned source drain.Therefore the leakage current of each pixel PIX is different, so might damage display quality.
Particularly in liquid crystal indicator, because necessary AC driving so utilize for example above-mentioned horizontal line inversion driving mode, keeps the mutually different electric charge of polarity of positive polarity and negative polarity in neighbouring pixel.Therefore as shown in Figure 13, after finishing above-mentioned scan period, transfer to the moment of non-scan period, at the charged current potential of data signal line si during for negative polarity for example, for the pixel PIX2 of maintenance negative polarity electric charge, voltage VDS2 diminishes between above-mentioned source-drain electrode, and leakage current also diminishes.In contrast, on the pixel PIX1 that keeps the positive polarity electric charge, voltage VDS1 becomes big between above-mentioned source drain, and leakage current also becomes greatly, exists the problem in the pixel display density reduction (normally white occasion) of this positive polarity electric charge of non-scan period.

Embodiment
One embodiment of the present of invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is the block scheme of expression as the electrical structure of the image display apparatus liquid crystal indicator 11 of one embodiment of the invention.This liquid crystal indicator 11 is active matrix type LCD devices, roughly comprises display part 12, scan signal line drive circuit GD, data signal wire driving circuit SD, charging circuit 10 and control signal generation circuit CTL.Above-mentioned data signal wire driving circuit SD is made of shift register 13 and sample circuit 14, and scan signal line drive circuit GD is made of shift register 15.Data signal wire driving circuit SD and scan signal line drive circuit GD are because have same structure with the data signal wire driving circuit sd and the scan signal line drive circuit gd of above-mentioned liquid crystal indicator 1 respectively, so omit its explanation at this.
Control signal generation circuit CTL also exports same signal CKS, CKSB, SPS, DAT, CKG, the SPG etc. with above-mentioned control signal generation circuit ct1, also exports control signal PCC, PCCB (reverse signal of PCC) and the charging potential PCV described later that is used for above-mentioned charging circuit 10 simultaneously.Each pixel PIX and above-mentioned pixel PIX shown in Figure 6 have same spline structure.
Above-mentioned charging circuit 10 is provided with analog switch ASW1～ASWn that the pair of switches element by P type and N type constitutes for the charging potential PCV that can export positive and negative polarities one by one by each data signal line, by common input above-mentioned control signal PCC, PCCB on these analog switches ASW1～ASWn, make above-mentioned charging potential PCV export to above-mentioned each data signal line S.
Fig. 2 is the oscillogram of the drive waveform examples of the above-mentioned such liquid crystal indicator that constitutes 11 of expression.Drive in the example at this, adopt the driving method of horizontal line inversion mode.In scan period, said scanning signals G1, G2 ... on derive strobe pulse successively.Corresponding, in order to realize the driving method of above-mentioned horizontal line inversion mode, and, export the level of corresponding i number data signal line Si to arbitrary data signal wire Si by above-mentioned sample circuit 14 at the picture intelligence DAT of each horizontal scan period from above-mentioned control signal generation circuit CTL input reversal of poles.The level of this data signal line Si writes by active component SW among the pixel capacitance Cp of each pixel PIX, and the point of the constant maintenance of whole non-scan period more than above-mentioned whole 1 image duration is same as the prior art later on.
Should notice being that according to the present invention, above-mentioned control signal generation circuit CTL changes control signal PCC, PCCB, makes the current potential of data signal line S be charged to charging potential PCV by charging circuit 10 when becoming non-scan period.
The charging potential PCV of this non-scan period is set in the current potential of data signal line S that constitutes the scan period of 1 frame with this non-scan period, promptly on the roughly intermediate potential of data-signal.According to above-mentioned horizontal line inversion mode, because on the pixel of corresponding each the scan signal line G of positive polarity current potential and the alternative supply of negative polarity current potential, so becoming, the charging potential PCV of above-mentioned non-scan period is the maximal value of positive polarity current potential and the peaked intermediate value of negative polarity current potential, i.e. the current potential VCOM of opposite electrode.In addition,, also not necessarily become above-mentioned intermediate value exactly, so in present specification, establish this value and be intermediate value roughly because the stray capacitance of the analog switch of the sample circuit 14 of active component SW and data signal wire driving circuit SD etc. are different.
Like this, according to the present invention, in non-scan period, make output from data signal wire driving circuit SD become current potential by charging circuit 10, and in the scan period of this frame, be charged to the roughly intermediate potential of above-mentioned data-signal for the data signal line S that becomes quick condition behind the high impedance.Then at least before next scan period begins, charging circuit 10 becomes behind the high impedance and makes data signal line S return to quick condition.Therefore liquid crystal indicator 11 not can with the current potential of corresponding each the pixel capacitance Cp of the current potential of data signal line S on very large deviation takes place, so can suppress deviation by the leakage current of active component SW.Therefore on standby picture by non-scan period being set longer fully than scan period, frame rate is reduced, and under the situation of reduction consumption of electric power the potential change of minimizing pixel PIX, thereby can improve the display quality of above-mentioned non-scan period.
In addition, as shown in Figure 2, above-mentioned control circuit CTL is in each horizontal cycle, before scan signal line G output strobe pulse, above-mentioned control signal PCC, PCCB are changed, make the current potential of data signal line S be pre-charged to charging potential PCV by charging circuit 10.The charging potential PCV of this scan period, when the current potential of positive polarity being supplied with to pixel that should scan signal line G is the predetermined current potential of positive polarity, when supplying with the negative polarity current potential is the predetermined current potential of negative polarity, for example is chosen as in the maximal value of each polarity and the intermediate value of minimum value.
Thereby, owing to need to write the current potential of former data signal line S of the picture intelligence DAT of previous row, before the scanning of next line, be pre-charged to the predetermined potential of polarity of the picture intelligence DAT of its next line, so data signal wire driving circuit SD can be easy to write the current potential of desirable picture intelligence DAT, thereby the current capacity of this data signal wire driving circuit SD is reduced.
Like this, charging circuit 10 of the present invention can be by realizing the circuit of the enterprising line precharge of data signal line S, so pre-charge circuit that can public prior art.In this case, can not cause the increase of structure, only need to reappraise the order of control signal generation circuit CTL.In addition, though can consider to utilize data signal wire driving circuit SD to realize the present invention, but data signal wire driving circuit SD has the labyrinth that picture intelligence DAT is sampled, and above-mentioned charging circuit 10 is compared with this labyrinth and is had simpler structure, so with the situation of data signal wire driving circuit SD with, can reduce electric power consumption.
In addition, in liquid crystal indicator 11 of the present invention, data signal wire driving circuit SD, scan signal line drive circuit GD and active component SW are made of polycrystalline SiTFT, and they are formed on the same substrate.Because polysilicon membrane is compared easy increase area with monocrystalline silicon thin film, thus foregoing circuit and element formed with polycrystalline SiTFT, and make them on same substrate, form monolithic integrated circuit, can increase area whereby.
In addition, in liquid crystal indicator 11 of the present invention, above-mentioned data signal wire driving circuit SD, scan signal line drive circuit GD and each pixel circuit are included in the active component that the technological temperature below 600 ℃ is made down.Like this when being set in the technological temperature of active component below 600 ℃, even use the substrate of common glass substrate (strain point is the glass plate below 600 ℃) as each active component, the bending that causes because of the above technology of strain point can not take place yet and scratched, be more prone to so install, and can large tracts of landization.
In addition, of the present invention non-scan period to carrying out once like that the charging of data signal line S is not limited to that control signal PCC with Fig. 2 represents, also can carry out repeatedly.And also can almost, carry out continuously as shown in the control signal PCC of Fig. 3 in whole non-scan period.Duration of charging is long more, and above-mentioned display quality is stable more.And when becoming non-scan period, the mode effect that begins to charge from fast as far as possible timing is more obvious.
And with a some inversion mode is that the perpendicular line inversion mode is also identical with above-mentioned horizontal line inversion mode, owing to be charged to roughly intermediate potential at the data-signal of scan period of this frame, so applicable the present invention.And use the frame inversion mode, because when becoming non-scan period, be charged to the maximal value of the data-signal in scan period of this frame and the intermediate potential of minimum value, so can be suitable for the present invention.But above-mentioned horizontal line inversion mode and the some inversion mode in, the data of the data of positive polarity and negative polarity are mixed equably in a frame, so if the timing range of picture intelligence DAT changes, then above-mentioned charging potential PCV becomes on entire frame about equally, can on this charging potential PCV, use the current potential VCOM of above-mentioned opposite electrode, make than being easier to like this.In contrast, in the frame inversion mode, because total pixel PIX is charged as identical polar in the frame, thus the polarity of above-mentioned charging potential PCV, the roughly intermediate potential that is changed to positive polarity on every frame and the roughly intermediate potential of negative polarity.
In addition, even control signal generation circuit CTL constitutes the structure of the charging potential PCV variation that can make in above-mentioned non-scan period, also can obtain same effect.Promptly as described above, when making charging potential PCV be fixed on any current potential, when not becoming the roughly intermediate potential of the maximal value of the data-signal during this frame scan and minimum value, may between the charging potential PCV of the current potential of each pixel PIX and data signal line S very large difference take place.In contrast, if the charging potential PCV that makes in non-scan period is with change quiveringly between the maximal value of the data-signal during this frame scan and minimum value, vibrate near being preferably in intermediate potential, just not can with the current potential of corresponding each the pixel PIX of the current potential of data signal line S on very large difference takes place, can suppress to pass through the difference of the leakage current of active component SW like this.
Below with reference to Fig. 4 another embodiment of the present invention is described.
Fig. 4 is the electric block diagram of expression as liquid crystal indicator 21 in the image display apparatus of another embodiment of the present invention.This liquid crystal indicator 21 and above-mentioned liquid crystal indicator 11 are similar, attached identical reference symbol on the part of correspondence, and omit its explanation.
It should be noted that this liquid crystal indicator 21 shared two-value data signal-line driving circuit BD are as charging part.That is to say that above-mentioned data signal wire driving circuit SD is to the picture intelligence DAT of data signal line S output multi-grey level, and two-value data signal-line driving circuit BD is to the picture intelligence RGB of two gray levels of data signal line S output.This liquid crystal indicator 21 is used on the display device that resembles portable phone etc., demanding in use display performance, and when standby, carry out necessary MIN demonstration with lower display performance.
Above-mentioned two-value data signal-line driving circuit BD roughly comprises the structure of shift register 22, latch cicuit 23, selector switch 24.Above-mentioned shift register 22 is identical with the shift register 3,13 of above-mentioned data signal wire driving circuit Sd, SD, by the trigger of plural serial stage constitute when clock signal CKS, CKSB and data scanning start signal SPS when control signal generation circuit CTLa imports, become behind the above-mentioned data scanning start signal SPS from output between above-mentioned each trigger adjacent each other and to be latch pulse, latch cicuit 23 these pulses of response are latched successively from the binary image signal RGB of the demonstration usefulness of control signal generation circuit CTLa input.Selector switch 24 responses are from the control signal TRF of above-mentioned control signal generation circuit CTLa input, select to export to each data signal line S according to above-mentioned picture intelligence RGB from the liquid crystal applied voltages VB of above-mentioned control signal generation circuit CTLa input and the some voltage the VW.By correspondingly selecting scanning said scanning signals line G therewith, can carry out the driving of two gray levels.
In above-mentioned such two-value data signal-line driving circuit BD that constitutes, above-mentioned control signal PCC is inputed to selector switch 24, and respond this input, by a liquid crystal applied voltages, for example the VW under normal white liquid crystal occasion exports to each data signal line S, can realize the action same with above-mentioned charging circuit 10.Therefore special circuit need not be set as above-mentioned current potential holding device, just can be in the present invention the two-value data signal-line driving circuit BD dual-purpose of having realized the low consumption electric power.
In addition, because in the above-mentioned control signal TRF of change order, by reset signal being inputed to latch cicuit 23,, also can realize same action even just can above-mentioned control signal PCC.Promptly when latch cicuit 23 resets, select an above-mentioned liquid crystal applied voltages VW, when becoming above-mentioned precharge timing and non-scan period, also can be all scan signal line G, as non-selection scanning mode, get final product from selector switch 24 this liquid crystal applied voltages of output VW by above-mentioned control signal TRT.
Below with reference to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 another embodiment of the present invention is described.
Fig. 5 is the block scheme of expression as the electrical structure of liquid crystal indicator 31 in the image display apparatus of the another embodiment of the present invention.This liquid crystal indicator 31 is similar with above-mentioned liquid crystal indicator 11, and corresponding part is given identical reference symbol, and omits its explanation.
It should be noted, according to this liquid crystal indicator 31, control signal generation circuit CTLb is when becoming non-scan period, control signal PCC, PCCB are changed, make the current potential of data signal line S be charged to charging potential PCV by charging circuit 10, make simultaneously from this control signal generation circuit CTLb and also be charged to above-mentioned charging potential PCV to the signal wire 32 of sample circuit 14 output image signal DAT.
Fig. 6 is the diagrammatic sketch of the output of the above-mentioned charging potential PCV of concrete expression in above-mentioned control signal generation circuit CTLb.This control signal take place electricity slightly CTLb comprise the structure of the timing generator 33 formed by digital circuit, simulated block 34, analog switch SWV1, SWV2, SWP1, SWP2.
Above-mentioned timing generator 33 is corresponding with the picture intelligence from the outside, generates above-mentioned signal CKS, CKSB, SPS, CKG, SPG, PWC, also generates above-mentioned control signal PCC, PCCB simultaneously.Corresponding, above-mentioned simulated block 34 generates picture intelligence VDAT and charging voltage VPCV, generates the electric VCOM of above-mentioned opposite electrode simultaneously.
, according to above-mentioned control signal generation circuit CTLb, the current potential VCOM of above-mentioned opposite electrode only directly exports to opposed electrode, and above-mentioned picture intelligence VDAT and charging potential VPCV are respectively by analog switch SWV1, SWP1 output.Analog switch SWV2, SWP2 these two analog switch SWV1, SWP1 relatively form in pairs, and output simultaneously after interconnecting, and analog switch SWV1, SWP1 and analog switch SWV2, SWP2 carry out the control of opposite action ground by above-mentioned timing generator 33.The current potential VCOM of the above-mentioned opposite electrode of common input on above-mentioned analog switch XWV2, SWP2.
