Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device.
A liquid crystal display device of an active matrix driving type displays a moving picture by using a thin film transistor (hereinafter referred to as "TFT") as a switching element. This liquid crystal display device can be downsized as compared with a cathode ray tube (CRT), and is applied to a display device in a portable information device, an office machine, a computer, etc., and is also applied to a television, thereby quickly replacing a cathode ray tube.
Pixels of a liquid crystal display device include TFTs in which a data line and a gate line are crossed and connected to the intersection. The TFT supplies the data voltage supplied through the data line to the pixel electrode of the liquid crystal cell in response to the gate pulse from the gate line. The liquid crystal cell is rotated by an electric field generated according to the voltage difference between the pixel electrode and the common voltage Vcom applied to the common electrode to control the light flux passing through the polarizer. The storage capacitor is connected to the pixel electrode of the liquid crystal cell to maintain the voltage of the liquid crystal cell. The common voltage Vcom applied to the common electrode may be ripple due to electrical coupling with the pixel electrode. The ripple phenomenon of the common voltage Vcom is proportional to the amount of change of the data voltage with time. Therefore, in the inversion method in which the polarity of the data voltage is varied, the ripple phenomenon of the common voltage Vcom is increased because the fluctuation of the data voltage is large at the moment when the polarity of the data voltage is changed. As described above, the ripple phenomenon of the common voltage Vcom causes a line-dim phenomenon along the horizontal direction, which causes the display quality to deteriorate.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a liquid crystal display capable of improving the dim phenomenon due to the ripple phenomenon of the common voltage.
A liquid crystal display device according to the present invention includes a liquid crystal display panel in which gate lines and data lines are formed, a gate driver for outputting gate pulses to gate lines, a dummy data enable signal and dummy data in a vertical blank period, A timing controller for outputting a data enable signal and digital video data during a frame period, and converting the digital video data to a data voltage of a first polarity based on the digital video data during a j-th (j is a natural number) And a data driver for outputting the dummy data voltage of the second polarity opposite to the first polarity to the data line based on the dummy data enable signal and the dummy data during the vertical blank period of the (j + 1) -th frame period do.
Since the present invention inputs dummy data during the vertical blank period to induce ripple phenomenon of the common voltage to occur by avoiding the display period, the dimming phenomenon due to the ripple phenomenon of the common voltage can be improved in the display period.

Like reference numerals throughout the specification denote substantially identical components. In the following description, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear.

Referring to FIG. 1, a liquid crystal display device according to the present invention includes a liquid

The TFT array substrate includes TFTs formed at intersections of data lines DL1 to DLn, gate lines GL1 to GLm, data lines DL1 to DLn and gate lines GL1 to GLm formed on a lower glass substrate, And a

The liquid
The timing controller 101 supplies the data driver 102 with digital video data (DATA) of the input image input from the system board (not shown) during the display period. The timing controller 101 receives timing signals such as a vertical synchronization signal Vsync, a horizontal synchronization signal Hsync, a data enable signal DE and a dot clock CLK from the system board, And generates control signals for controlling the operation timing of the
The
The gate timing control signal includes a gate start pulse (GSP), a gate shift clock (GSC), a gate output enable signal (GOE), and the like. The gate start pulse GSP is applied to the gate drive IC which generates the first gate pulse to control the gate drive IC so that the first gate pulse is generated. The gate shift clock GSC is a clock signal commonly input to the gate drive ICs, and is a clock signal for shifting the gate start pulse GSP. The gate output enable signal GOE controls the output of the gate drive ICs.
The data timing control signal includes a source start pulse (SSP), a source sampling clock (SSC), a polarity control signal (POL), and a source output enable signal (SOE) . The source start pulse SSP controls the data sampling start timing of the data driver 102. The source sampling clock SSC is a clock signal that controls the sampling timing of data in each of the source drive ICs on the basis of the rising or falling edge. The polarity control signal POL controls the polarity inversion timing of the data voltages output from each of the source drive ICs. The source output enable signal SOE controls the output timing of the data driver 102. The source start pulse SSP and the source sampling clock SSC may be omitted if the digital video data to be input to the data driver 102 is transmitted in the mini LVDS interface standard.

On the contrary, since the first and second panel blocks PB1 and BP2 are scanned in different directions, a dim phenomenon in block form occurs in the boundary region between the first and second panel blocks PB1 and BP2 Can be improved.
Further, the present invention can improve the occurrence of a line-dim phenomenon in several gate lines including a center gate line. Among the methods of scanning the first and second panel blocks PB1 and BP2 in different directions, as shown in FIG. 4, starting from the respective central gate lines located in the first and second panel blocks PB1 and BP2 When starting sequentially, the liquid crystal cells corresponding to the center gate line are charged first for each frame. Therefore, when the polarity control signal is inverted in one frame period, such as a column inversion or a Z-inversion, the center gate line is divided into a data voltage ADATA charged in the display period of the previous frame, The data voltage ADATA having the opposite polarity is charged. Accordingly, the data voltage ADATA input to the liquid crystal cells connected to the center gate line m / 2 of the first panel block PB1 is connected to the mth gate line GLm which is finally received in the previous frame The common voltage Vcom swings largely with respect to the liquid crystal cells. This ripple phenomenon causes a dim phenomenon in the horizontal line direction in the central gate line region.
On the other hand, since the display device of the present invention outputs the dummy data voltage during the vertical blank period, the period in which the data voltage ADATA swings to a large extent is shifted to the vertical blank period instead of the display period. Therefore, even if a ripple of the common voltage Vcom occurs, it is not a period for outputting the data voltage ADATA of the valid digital video data DATA, so that horizontal dimming can be prevented from occurring in the display period.
Since the dummy data voltage ADDATA changes the polarity of the data voltage ADATA in advance before the liquid crystal cells of the valid digital video data DATA are charged in the display period, It is possible to improve the filling of the lines.

Referring to FIG. 5, the scanning method according to the second embodiment scans the first panel block PB1 during the j-th frame period and the second panel block PB2 during the (j + 1) -th frame period . The

In the embodiment of FIG. 6, substantially the same or substantially similar components as those of the embodiment of FIG. 1 described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The display device shown in Fig. 6 outputs a dummy data voltage ADDATA in the change period of the frame, thereby generating a dim phenomenon in the horizontal direction along the line for starting the scanning of the first and second panel blocks PB1 and BP2 Can be improved. Further, since the display device shown in Fig. 6 simultaneously scans the first and second panel blocks PB1 and BP2 while independently driving it, it is possible to secure a sufficient time for scanning one gate line.
