Embodiment
Below, describe embodiments of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in detail.
(1) time delay correction principle
Fig. 4 is different from Fig. 1 the time delay of the present invention of used block scheme during correction principle for explaining.According to this correction principle, in to the data processing circuit of handling with the input data that keep constant logic level in the constant cycle is during constant, the predetermined instant during incoming level keeps the cycle of constant logic level will have the empty data of the logic level opposite with described constant logic level and insert in the input data.In addition, the input data are the cycles of not carrying out the mass data transmission therebetween with the cycle that keeps constant logic level in the constant cycle is during constant, such as the horizontal blanking cycle in the video data.Below, as required, this cycle is called quiescent period.
More specifically, if described data processing circuit for example is the level shifter 1 shown in Fig. 5, then will insert from the empty data DD that logic L level raises the gradation data D1 during horizontal blanking period T 2 (wherein gradation data D1 is to keep constant logic level in the constant cycle is during constant), the input data D1 (from 0 to 3 (V) amplitude correction to 0 is to 6 (V) amplitude) that wherein said level shifter 1 is proofreaied and correct and major clock MCK (Fig. 5 (A)) is synchronous also exports output data D2 (Fig. 5 (B) and 5 (D)).Thereby, by for example OR circuit 4 (Fig. 5 (C)), will insert among the gradation data D1 based on the reset pulse HDrst of empty data DD.
Therefore, according to this correction principle, compare with the situation of not inserting empty data DD at all, make the time delay dt1 when rising shorter, thereby solved the problem that become with the length near the logic level of front time delay near the logic level of horizontal blanking period T back.More specifically, if insert empty data DD in this manner, then can force the logic level of input data to be switched, and compare with the situation of not inserting empty data DD at all, can make the logic level of importing data therebetween keep the cycle of logic L level shorter, thereby can reduce to import the change of the time delay in the serial data of data D1.Therefore, can avoid effectively latching of misdata or the like.
More specifically, as with as shown in Fig. 6 of Fig. 3 contrast, in the situation of this logical circuit output being sampled with period of the day from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m clock SCK (Fig. 6 (A)), insert empty data DD during the horizontal blanking cycle in vertical blanking cycle VBL, the time delay of the output data D2 when thereby the logic level that can make vertical blanking cycle VBL back rises is shorter, and can similarly sample to output data D2 constantly with the situation in effective video cycle and latch (Fig. 6 (B1) is to 6 (C2)).Thereby, may with the rising of vertical blanking cycle VBL correspondingly with correct gray scale display pixel.In addition, continue several lines and be elevated in the situation of white level, perhaps in the situation that a certain certain bits after remaining on several lines of L level continuously, in the multidigit raises, can correctly latch input data D1 at black level.Therefore, liquid crystal indicator is suitable for correctly showing the gray scale of each pixel.
In conjunction with in Fig. 2 change of described time delay,, then in the decline of the logic level that has raise, can postpone in the above if logic level raises immediately after input data D1 keeps logic L level for a long time.But, studying in great detail of the logic level rising moment shown, if input data D1 keeps logic L level for a long time, then compare with Fig. 3, as shown in Figure 7, become shorter, this and descend opposite (Fig. 7 (A) is to 7 (C2)) constantly in the time delay constantly of rising.Thereby, if import the moment of the sampling instant of data D1 before being set to switch near logic level, and if the phase margin that is used to sample less, deal with data correctly under situation about changing with the delay associated time constantly of rising then.
But, even if in the situation relevant with this set, if during quiescent period, insert empty data according to correction principle, then may be along the change of the correction for direction time delay that reduces with the described rising delay associated time, thus for example liquid crystal indicator is suitable for correctly proofreading and correct the gray scale of each pixel.

(3) operation of embodiment 1
According to said structure, in liquid crystal indicator 11 (Fig. 8), by going here and there and change-over circuit 16, to be separated into gradation data Dod and the Dev that is used for even number line and odd-numbered line according to the gradation data D1 of raster scan order input, and, drive the signal wire of the even number line and the odd-numbered line of display part 12 respectively by horizontal drive circuit 15O and 15E according to the gradation data Dod and the Dev that are used for even number line and odd-numbered line.In response to the corresponding timing signal of gradation data D1, drive the gate line of display part 12 by vertical drive circuit 13, thereby with the pixel of its signal wire in the selection display part 12, behavior unit sequence ground by horizontal drive circuit 15O and 15E driving, therefore on display part 12, show image based on gradation data D1, layout line pattern effectively in display part 12 is so that be arranged in meticulous pattern with pixel.
In liquid crystal indicator 11, during gradation data D1 being separated into the gradation data Dod that is used for two systems and Dev (Fig. 9), amplitude by level shifter 21 amplification gradation data D1, and gradation data D1 is separated into the data that are used for two systems, thereby is separated into gradation data Dod and the Dev that is used for two systems reliably with the gradation data D1 that provides with the corresponding high transfer rate of the resolution of display part 12.
During this is handled, in liquid crystal indicator 11, because latch cicuit 22 and 23 alternately latchs gradation data D1 gradation data D1 is separated into gradation data Dod and the Dev that is used for two systems, and owing to comprise and going here and there and the driving circuit of change-over circuit 16 is integrally formed on the glass substrate (this glass substrate is the insulated substrate of display part 12 and is made by low temperature polycrystalline silicon), so if each of gradation data remains on the L level for a long time, when then after logic level rising subsequently, descending, increase time delay, thereby latch cicuit 22 and 23 becomes and can not correctly latch gradation data D1.On the contrary, reduce time delay when logic level rises, and in this case, latch cicuit 22 and 23 also becomes and can not correctly latch gradation data D1, and this depends on actual conditions.
For this reason, in the present embodiment, the gradation data (importing data during the described quiescent period) that has the input data of quiescent period for conduct to keep constant logic level in the constant cycle is during constant, as the predetermined instant during the horizontal blanking cycle of this quiescent period, the empty data DD that the OR circuit 27 (Fig. 5 and 6) at the output stage place by being arranged on level shifter 21 will have the logic level opposite with the constant logic level of gradation data inserts among the gradation data D1.
Thereby, in liquid crystal indicator 11, compare with the situation of not inserting empty data DD at all, change the time delay the when logic level after can the elimination of level blanking cycle rises, thus can guarantee time delay with therebetween with the anti-phase periodic group of the dutycycle that is different from 50 (%) seemingly with logic level.Thereby present embodiment can avoid using change the time delay in the logical circuit of TFT etc. effectively.In addition, as the liquid crystal indicator that is used for the data processing circuit of video data, can effectively avoid based on the demonstration that changes the wrong gray scale that causes because of time delay.
More specifically, in liquid crystal indicator 11, when the logic level after vertical blanking raises, the switching delay associated time that can proofread and correct and enter the gradation data D1 of latch cicuit 22 and 23 changes, thereby latch cicuit 22 and 23 can according to the situation in the effective video cycle gradation data D1 that similarly regularly samples, and gradation data D1 correctly is separated into gradation data Dod and the Dev that is used for two systems.Thereby, can with the rising of vertical blanking cycle VBL correspondingly with correct gray scale display pixel.In addition, continue to count row and be elevated in the situation of white level at black level, and in the situation of the rising after the capable maintenance of consecutive numbers L level of a certain certain bits in multidigit, can correctly latch input data D1, thereby this liquid crystal indicator is suitable for correctly showing the gray scale of each pixel.
In the trimming process of relevant time delay, can in time-axis direction, amplify the processing nargin of the latch among each horizontal drive circuit 15O and the 15E, thereby liquid crystal indicator 11 can stably operate so that show required image reliably.
(4) advantage of embodiment 1
According to said structure,, can avoid using change the time delay in the logical circuit of TFT effectively by empty data DD being inserted into as among the gradation data D1 of input data and force the logic level of gradation data D1 to be switched.Thereby, the described processing of video data is suitable for processing video data correctly, thereby liquid crystal indicator can show required image with correct gray scale.
In addition, when handling as the gradation data of video data, by during each horizontal blanking cycle, inserting empty data DD, change that can the time in corrective delay, and when the back to back logic level of vertical blanking week after date rises and after logic level descends cycle of several row processing video data correctly during back to back logic level rising.
(5) embodiment 2
Viewpoint according to changing by the time delay of inserting during quiescent period in the logical circuit that empty data can prevent to use TFT is configured to the foregoing description 1 to prevent to increase with the logic level decline delay associated time of horizontal blanking cycle back by insert empty data during the horizontal blanking cycle.
On the contrary, as in conjunction with time delay correction principle described, for the logic level in the logical circuit that uses TFT that raises, the situation that descends with logic level is opposite, utilize a kind of like this structure (when wherein before the logic level of input data is rising, keeping constant value in the back to back constant cycle, reduce time delay and during quiescent period, insert empty data) to prevent and reduce the delay associated time this time delay and change.
In order to check advantage, in structure shown in Figure 9, by stopping to provide reset pulse HDrst to stop to insert empty data, so that in black surround, show square white according to the structure of embodiment 1 based on this understanding.At this moment, shown in the arrow A among Figure 12, with square white portion of state demonstration of an outstanding pixel on the horizontal direction of scanning beginning one side.
In addition, when the waveform that utilizes the sampling pulse sp trigger during this state to the output data D27 of OR circuit 27 examines, observe and stretch out a locations of pixels place in the horizontal direction, the rising of logic level shifts to an earlier date constantly, therefore former should being latched during the logic H of back to back pixel level in the pixel that latchs during the logic L level.
According to this discovery, when when switching input data D1, observing waveform, confirm as shown in Figure 13, if the logic level of input data keeps constant value for a long time, then only have with the rising of the corresponding logic level of next pixel j+1 in advance constantly, but it descends and changes (Figure 13 (B1) is to 13 (C2)) constantly.In Figure 13, symbol 2sp (Figure 13 (A)) expression is used for the generation reference signal of latch pulse sp and xsp, and its cycle is the twice in the cycle of each the latch pulse sp of input latch circuit 22 and 23 and xsp.
Thereby, find that the structure shown in Fig. 9 is a kind of like this structure: it inserts empty data during quiescent period, and prevent to use change the time delay in the logical circuit of TFT, change wherein said time delay no thanks to decline delay associated time with logic level increases and produces, but owing to the rising delay associated time with logic level reduces to produce.
Thereby, according to present embodiment, verified as above face in conjunction with time delay correction principle described like that, even can prevent change time delay that reduces to cause owing to the rising delay associated time reliably with logic level.
