BACKGROUND OF THE
In general, the liquid crystal display device has a trend that the application range is gradually widened due to the characteristics such as light weight, thin, low power consumption. In accordance with this trend, liquid crystal displays are used in office automation equipment, audio / video equipment, and the like. In such a liquid crystal display, a transmission amount of a light beam is adjusted according to a signal applied to a plurality of control switches arranged in a matrix to display a desired image on a screen. To this end, the liquid crystal display includes a liquid crystal display panel in which liquid crystal cells are arranged in a matrix, and a driving unit for driving the liquid crystal display panel.
The liquid crystal display panel is formed by bonding a thin film transistor array substrate on which a thin film transistor array is formed and a color filter array substrate on which a color filter array is formed, with the liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween.
Data lines and gate lines that are orthogonal to each other are formed on the thin film transistor array substrate, and liquid crystal cells are formed in each region formed by the orthogonality of the data lines and the gate lines. The thin film transistor connected to the intersection of the data lines and the gate lines supplies the data supplied through the data line to the pixel of the liquid crystal cell in response to the scan pulse of the gate line.
A black matrix, a color filter, and the like are formed on the color filter array substrate.
The driver includes a data driver and a gate driver. The data driver supplies data to the data lines, and the gate driver supplies scan pulses to the gate lines.
Since the liquid crystal display is not a self-luminous display, a separate backlight is required. Types of backlight include Cold Cathode Flourscent Lamps (CCFLs), External Electrode Flourscent Lamps (EEFLs), and Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). The backlight generates white light, and irradiates white light to liquid crystal cells to which red, green, and blue data are simultaneously applied through the thin film transistor turned on by the scan pulse. As a result, the white light irradiated to the liquid crystal cell is irradiated to the red, green, and blue color filters with luminance according to the data applied to each liquid crystal cell, and is changed into red, green, and blue light, respectively. The liquid crystal display panel displays a desired color by combining red, green and blue light.
A general liquid crystal display having such a configuration has a disadvantage in that light is lost while passing through the color filter due to light absorption of the color filter, and thus the luminance is low, and the color purity is low by the color filter. In addition, when the LCD is driven as a hold type that keeps the backlight on, power consumption is large because the backlights must be kept on. In order to solve such a disadvantage, a field sequential liquid crystal display has been proposed.
In the field sequential liquid crystal display, the red light source, the green light source, and the blue light source are sequentially driven instead of the color filter by color. That is, a red light source is turned on when red data is applied to the liquid crystal cell, a green light source is turned on when green data is applied to the liquid crystal cell, and a blue light source is turned on when blue data is applied to the liquid crystal cell.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating driving of a general liquid crystal display, and FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating driving of a field sequential liquid crystal display.
Referring to FIG. 1, a general liquid crystal display device has a thin film transistor turn-on period T and a liquid crystal response period LC for one frame period 1F. The thin film transistor turn-on period T refers to a period during which the thin film transistor is turned on by the high voltage of the scan pulse and the data is charged in the liquid crystal cell, and the liquid crystal response period LC corresponds to the data charged in the liquid crystal cell. Means a period during which the liquid crystal is driven. During the thin film transistor turn-on period T, the gate lines G1 to Gn are sequentially supplied with scan pulses having a high voltage of one
For example, in a liquid crystal display device having a frame period 1F of 16.67 ms, a liquid crystal response period LC of 2 ms, and a resolution of 640 × 480, the thin film transistor turn-on period T is 14.67 ms. do. Accordingly, one
In this case, in the case of the hold type, the backlight is continuously turned on during the period in which the liquid crystal display is driven.
Referring to FIG. 2, one frame period 1F of a field sequential type liquid crystal display device includes red, green, and blue frame periods of 1 / 3F (R), 1 / 3F (G), and 1 / 3F (B). It is divided into three subframe periods. The red, green, and blue frame periods (1 / 3F (R), 1 / 3F (G), 1/3 (B)) are thin film transistor turn-on periods (T '), liquid crystal response periods (LC), and backlights, respectively. It has a lighting period BL. The thin film transistor turn-on period T ′ and the liquid crystal response period LC are as described above, and the backlight lighting period BL refers to a period during which the backlight is turned on. During the thin film transistor turn-on period T ', the gate lines G1 to Gn are sequentially supplied with scan pulses having a high voltage of one
For example, in a liquid crystal display device having a resolution of 640 x 480, one frame period 1F is 16.67 ms, the liquid crystal response period LC is 2 ms, the backlight lighting period BL is 2 ms, and red, green and The blue frame periods (1 / 3F (R), 1 / 3F (G), 1 / 3F (B)) are respectively 5.56 ms. Therefore, the thin film transistor turn-on period T 'of each subframe is 1.56 ms, and one
