The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device, and more particularly, to a liquid crystal display device performing a touch panel type function using a scanning mode.
A typical liquid crystal display device is a display device that displays an image by adjusting the light transmittance of a liquid crystal using an electric field.
To this end, the liquid crystal display device includes a
The
The
As described above, the liquid crystal display device is a display device that displays an image by using light passing through the liquid crystal. However, as the application range of the display device increases, a liquid crystal display device having various functions has emerged.
One of them is a liquid crystal display that also functions as a scan. As shown in FIG. 2, it includes a
The liquid crystal display device having such a scan function may be used for scanning, fingerprint recognition, and the like, and may be used for a touch panel such as a touch or a laser pointer on the display surface. For example, in the same method as the touch panel, when the panel is touched using a hand or an object, the light receiving sensor of the touch area generates a significantly different scanning signal than other areas. As such, the position of the sub-pixels generating the specific scanning signal is detected to perform the same function as the touch panel.
The process of identifying the touch area searches for the touch area by storing the scanning signal generated from each sub-pixel in the frame memory and searching the stored scanning signal. In this process, processing of a scanning signal more than necessary causes a delay in processing time and a burden on the frame memory.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a liquid crystal display device which can shorten the processing time and reduce the capacity of the frame memory.
In order to achieve the above object, the liquid crystal display device according to the present invention comprises a liquid crystal panel including a light receiving sensor for generating a scanning signal according to the reflected light of the subject, a data driver and a gate driver for controlling the liquid crystal panel for a display function; A scanning mode driver for scanning mode operation, a data selection unit for selecting a scanning signal included in the scanning mode driver and output from several subpixels of the subpixels of the liquid crystal panel, a data drive and a gate drive; A timing controller for controlling the scanning mode driver, a mode selector for selecting a display mode and a scanning mode and controlling the timing controller according to the present invention, and a frame memory for storing the scanning signal for each frame.
Other objects and features of the present invention in addition to the above object will be apparent from the description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.
3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a liquid crystal display device according to the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 3, a liquid crystal display according to the present invention includes a
The
Each pixel cell defined by crossing the gate line GL and the data line DL of the liquid crystal panel is a readout line formed to face the data line DL, and a reset formed to face the gate line GL. Line and storage line.
A first thin film transistor Tr1 is provided as a switching element for implementing the display mode. The first thin film transistor Tr1 is turned on when the scan signal from the gate line GL, that is, the gate high voltage VGH is supplied, and supplies the pixel signal from the data line DL to the liquid crystal cell. When the gate low voltage VGL is supplied from the gate line GL, the first thin film transistor TFT is turned off to maintain the pixel signal charged in the liquid crystal cell.
The liquid crystal cell further includes a storage capacitor such that the charged pixel signal is stably maintained until the next pixel signal is charged. This storage capacitor is formed between the pixel electrode and the previous gate line.
The liquid crystal cell realizes gradation by adjusting the light transmittance by changing the arrangement state of the liquid crystal having dielectric anisotropy according to the pixel signal charged through the first thin film transistor Tr1.
In addition, the liquid crystal cell includes second and third thin film transistors Tr2 and Tr3 for implementing a scanning mode. The second thin film transistor Tr2 is a light receiving sensor in which the active layer is activated by incident light. The drain electrode of the second thin film transistor Tr2 and the source electrode of the third thin film transistor Tr3 which is a switching thin film transistor are electrically connected. The
As the light enters the second thin film transistor Tr2 in the scanning mode, the active layer is activated, so that more current flows in the source electrode and the drain electrode than when the scan object is not recognized.
The current flowing through the source electrode and the drain electrode of the second thin film transistor Tr2 is temporarily stored by the
The third thin film transistor Tr3 is turned on by the gate signal applied to the gate electrode and the data voltage applied to the source electrode. When the third thin film transistor Tr3 is turned on, an output voltage serving as a scanning signal is applied to the drain electrode of the third thin film transistor Tr3. The output voltage applied to the drain electrode is transferred to the

When implementing the touch panel operation using the scanning mode, the
For example, the
As shown in FIG. 3, a method of using a liquid crystal display as a touch panel method may perform a predetermined command by touching a specific command displayed on the panel, for example, a page movement mark using a hand or an object.
Since the main purpose of the touch panel operation is to determine the rough touch area and to detect the position of the touch area, data of all sub-pixels are not needed. Thus, several of the neighboring adjacent pixels can be sampled and processed. . To this end, the
That is, the
In this way, the data processing speed is increased because the data is selectively processed rather than the data of all sub-pixels, and the capacity of the

The scanning signals having a specific value have different voltage values from the subpixels in other areas due to the light reflected by the object, which is the touched object. Accordingly, the position of the column on the panel of the scanning signals of a specific value has a different value with respect to the intermediate value. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, in the liquid crystal panel having m columns, the left / right scanning signals of left and right are compared based on m '(m' = m / 2) columns, and the left / right of m 'is positioned. Find out where you are. In addition, the
Similarly, the position of the row of sub-pixels having the scanning signals of a specific value is identified to identify the area where the touch operation is performed on the display surface of the panel. As such, if the corresponding area is for a function of performing a specific command by identifying an area where the touch operation has occurred, a specific operation is performed to perform a function such as a touch panel.
As such, the liquid crystal display according to the present invention including the scanning function may reduce the data processing time because the data selection unit selectively extracts and processes the scanning signal. In addition, the capacity of the frame memory for storing the scanning signal can be reduced.
In the embodiment of the present invention, a method of selectively extracting a scanning signal from the data selector has exemplified a method of extracting data of sub-pixels corresponding to any one of three primary colors.
However, there may be other methods for extracting the scanning signal from the data selector. That is, in the process of extracting data of the subpixels at intervals of n multiples, the size of n may be set according to pursuit of accuracy of positioning. For example, for more precise location determination, the scanning signals of sub-pixels located at doubled intervals may be extracted and processed. In addition, in the case where only a more coarse positioning is required, the size of n may be increased to reduce the number of extracted scanning signals, thereby speeding up data processing and reducing memory capacity.
As described above, the liquid crystal display according to the present invention can reduce the data processing time because the data selection unit selectively extracts and processes the scanning signal. In addition, the capacity of the frame memory for storing the scanning signal can be reduced.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the technical scope of the present invention should not be limited to the contents described in the detailed description of the specification but should be defined by the claims.
