BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display and a driving method thereof. More specifically, the present invention relates to a field sequential driving for applying one reset pulse in one frame unit consisting of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) fields. The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device and a driving method thereof.

Recently, display devices are also required to be lighter and thinner in accordance with the light weight and thickness of personal computers and televisions, and according to such demands, liquid crystal displays (hereinafter referred to as "LCDs") instead of cathode ray tubes (CRTs) are required. Flat panel displays are being developed.

The LCD applies an electric field to a liquid crystal material having an anisotropic dielectric constant injected between two substrates, and adjusts the intensity of the electric field to transmit the amount of light transmitted from the external light source (back-light) to the substrate. By adjusting the desired image is obtained.

Such LCDs are typical of portable flat panel displays, and among them, TFT-LCDs using thin film transistors (hereinafter referred to as TFTs) as switching elements are mainly used.

Therefore, in the TFT-LCD, each pixel may be modeled as a liquid crystal capacitor because electrodes (pixel electrodes and common electrodes) are disposed to face each other with a liquid crystal interposed therebetween. In such LCDs, each pixel may be equivalent to that of FIG. 1A. May be represented as a circuit.

As shown in Fig. 1A, each pixel of the liquid crystal display according to the prior art includes: a TFT 10 having a source electrode connected to the data line Dm and a gate electrode connected to the scan line Sn; A liquid crystal capacitor Cl connected between the drain electrode of the TFT 10 and a common electrode (not shown); And a storage capacitor Cst connected to the drain electrode of the TFT 10.

The TFT 10 provides the pixel electrode (not shown) with the data voltage Vd supplied from the data line Dm in response to the scan signal from the scan line Sn. The electric field corresponding to the difference between the data voltage provided to the pixel electrode (that is, the pixel voltage Vp and the common voltage Vcom applied to the common electrode) is liquid crystal (equivalently represented by the liquid crystal capacitor Cl in FIG. 1). In this case, the liquid crystal adjusts the transmittance of light according to the intensity of the applied electric field, and the storage capacitor Cst uses the pixel voltage provided to the liquid crystal capacitor Cl when the next data voltage Vd is supplied. By keeping it until the light is transmitted for a predetermined time.

In general, the LCD may be divided into two methods, a color filter method and a field sequential driving method, according to a method of displaying a color image.

A color filter type LCD forms a color filter layer consisting of three primary colors of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) on an upper substrate of a panel, and adjusts the amount of light transmitted through the color filter layer, thereby controlling a desired image. Is displayed. However, the color filter type LCD requires unit pixels corresponding to the red (R), green (G), and blue (B) areas, and thus requires three times as many pixels as those for displaying black and white. Therefore, in order to obtain high resolution images, sophisticated manufacturing techniques for LCD panels are required. In addition, in the color filter type LCD, red (R), green (G), and blue (B) color filters must be formed on the upper substrate, which is cumbersome in manufacturing, and the light transmittance of the color filter itself must be improved. There is a problem.

In addition, the LCD of the field sequential driving method periodically turns on independent light sources of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) colors sequentially, and supplies the pixel voltage Vp to each pixel at each lighting cycle. Displays a color image. That is, the field-sequential driving LCD does not divide one pixel into unit pixels of red (R), green (G), and blue (B), and red (R), green (G), and blue in one pixel. (B) Color images are displayed by using the afterimage effect of the eye by time-divisionally displaying the light of the three primary colors supplied from the respective backlights.

The field sequential driving method may be classified into an analog driving method and a digital driving method.

The analog driving method sets a plurality of gray voltages corresponding to the number of gray scales to be displayed, selects one gray voltage corresponding to the gray scale code among the gray voltages, and drives the liquid crystal panel with the selected gray voltage, thereby applying the applied gray voltage. The gradation is expressed by the amount of transmitted light corresponding to.

In addition, the digital driving method makes the driving voltage applied to the liquid crystal constant and expresses the gray scale by controlling the voltage application time. According to such a digital driving method, gray scales are displayed by controlling the accumulated amount of light transmitted through the liquid crystal by keeping the driving voltage constant and controlling the voltage applied state and the voltage unapplied state in a timely manner.

FIG. 1B is a diagram illustrating a driving voltage and a transmitted light amount according to a conventional LCD driving apparatus.

In FIG. 1B, a driving voltage means a voltage applied to the liquid crystal, and optical transmittance means a transmission ratio with respect to the applied light when light is applied to the liquid crystal. That is, the light transmittance refers to the degree of twist that the liquid crystal can transmit light.

Referring to FIG. 1B, in the R field period Tr for displaying the R color, a driving voltage of the V11 level is applied to the liquid crystal so that light corresponding to the driving voltage of the V11 level passes through the liquid crystal. In the G field section Tg for displaying the G color, a driving voltage of the V12 level is applied, so that light corresponding to the driving voltage of the V12 level passes through the liquid crystal. Then, in the B field section Tb for displaying the B color, a driving voltage of the V13 level is applied to obtain a light transmittance corresponding to the driving voltage of the V13 level. The desired color image is displayed by the sum of the R, G, and B lights transmitted in the Tr, Tg, and Tb sections, respectively.

On the other hand, in the digital driving method, the driving voltage applied to the liquid crystal is made constant, and the gray scale is expressed by controlling the voltage application time. According to such a digital driving method, gray scales are represented by adjusting a cumulative amount of light transmitted through a liquid crystal by maintaining a constant driving voltage and controlling a voltage application state and a voltage non-application state in a timing manner.

FIG. 1C is a waveform diagram illustrating a conventional method for driving a liquid crystal display of a digital driving method, and illustrates a waveform of a driving voltage according to driving data of a predetermined bit and a light transmittance of the liquid crystal accordingly.

Referring to FIG. 1C, grayscale waveform data corresponding to each grayscale is provided as a digital signal of a predetermined bit, for example, 7bit, and a grayscale waveform corresponding to the 7bit data is applied to the liquid crystal. The light transmittance of the liquid crystal is determined according to the applied gray waveform to perform gray scale display.

On the other hand, according to the conventional field sequential driving method, since the effective value response varies according to the gradation (for example, the gradation of G) immediately before the gradation (for example, the gradation of R) to be displayed, the gradation display accurately. There was a problem that can not. That is, the pixel voltage Vp actually supplied to the current liquid crystal is not only the gradation voltage (or gradation waveform) supplied to the current field (for example, the R field) but also the gradation supplied to the immediately preceding field (for example, the B field). It is also determined by the voltage (or gradation waveform).

As described above, in order to solve the problem of the field sequential driving method in which the effective value response varies according to the gradation displayed immediately before, a field sequential driving method using a reset pulse is disclosed in US Pat. No. 6,567,063.

2 is a view showing a field sequential driving method using a reset pulse shown in the US patent. In Fig. 2, the sections T31 to T26 represent the R field, G field, and B field sections in which gradation display for R, G, and B is performed.

Referring to Fig. 2, a predetermined voltage (reset) that is independent of the input grayscale code for a predetermined time (t31 to t36) at a time point at which each section T31 to T36 ends, is larger than the maximum value of the grayscale code. Voltage) is applied. By applying such a reset voltage, at the end of each section T31 to T36, the liquid crystal states are all initialized to the same state (for example, a black state that does not transmit light, that is, a state where the light transmittance is 0). do.

Therefore, when the liquid crystal is driven by the applied voltage according to the gradation code in each section T31 to T36, the state of the liquid crystal is the same regardless of the previously displayed gradation, so that the previously displayed gradation is displayed as the current gradation. It does not affect the section.

However, according to the above-described US patent, there is a problem in that power consumption increases because a reset voltage having a constant magnitude and a constant width larger than the maximum value of the gradation code is always applied regardless of the input gradation code.

3A is a diagram illustrating a reset pulse of a conventional liquid crystal display, and FIG. 3B is a diagram showing that an error accumulates in the reset pulse of FIG. 3A.

Referring to FIG. 3A, the conventional FS-LCD driving method represents a gray level by applying a reset pulse at the beginning of each field of red (R), green (G), and blue (B), wherein the reset pulse It is for accurately expressing a specific gradation corresponding to each gradation code by initializing the liquid crystal state by the gradation code.

Referring to FIG. 3B, in the conventional FS-LCD, as the resolution increases, the width of the reset pulse decreases, so that the time for which the reset pulse is applied is shortened, and the liquid crystal cannot be sufficiently initialized. In other words, when a gray scale code is applied to express a specific gray scale, a gray scale code applied immediately before the gray scale code affects the current gray scale code. Thus, the gray scale ability of the FS-LCD is significantly degraded.

An object of the present invention for solving the above problems is to increase the reset pulse application time of the liquid crystal display device, thereby fully initialize the state of the liquid crystal, thereby improving the gradation expression capability of the FS-LCD.

4 illustrates a reset pulse of the liquid crystal display according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the reset pulse of the liquid crystal display according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention applies a reset pulse only once per frame, thereby providing a sufficient reset period. For example, when a reset pulse is applied to the red (R) field, since there is no reset in the green (G) and blue (B) fields, the values corresponding to the previous gray level and the current gray level are read from the lookup table (LUT). . However, it is not preferable to implement the LUT completely without the reset pulse because an error exists and may be a problem when accumulating, and the gradation code should be reset at a predetermined period.

Therefore, when the reset pulse is applied only once in one frame, the reset pulse application time can be increased by about three times as compared with the conventional method, thereby improving the gray scale display capability of the FS-LCD.
