Abstract

The present invention is a driving method for display whose display area is controlled by a common grid signal and a segment grid signal. A set of common selected signal and common non-selected signal, having a phase difference between them, are combined to form a common grid signal and a set of segment selected signal and segment non-selected signal. A set of segment selected signal and segment non-selected signal, having a phase difference between them, are combined to form a segment grid signal. In a selected duty zone, the present invention allows the common grid signal and the segment grid signal to be equal to the common selected signal and the segment selected signal, respectively, and uses the phase difference between each grid signal and its corresponding selected signal to generate a driving voltage whose square root is greater than the threshold voltage. Thus, the display area is in ON condition.

Description

1263967 玖、發明說明 (發明說明應敘明:發明所屬之技術領域、先前技術、內容、實施方式及圖式簡 單說明) 發明所屬之技術領域 本發明是有關於一種顯示裝置,且特別是有關於一種 顯示器之驅動方法。 先前技術 對於簡單矩陣式液晶顯不器(Simple Matrix Liquid Crystal Display,簡稱SM-LCD)而言,其構造爲格子狀配 置之數個共同電極(亦稱爲掃瞄電極)及數個區段電極(亦稱 爲列電極)’而共同電極與區段電極之間係夾著丨仅晶。在 兩電極之間,係由外部提供驅動電壓訊號,而使各個畫素 藉由兩電極間的電位差而驅動。另外,SM-LCD會因爲共 同電極數的增加而伴隨交互干擾的問題,於是顯示畫素所 施加的電壓及非顯示畫素所施加的電壓之差値會減少,所 以SM-LCD的共同電極數會有所限制。 在 SM-LCD 中,扭曲向歹(J (Twisted Nematic,簡稱 TN) 型LCD是電極基板間封入具有正値鐵電率的異方向性P 型向列液晶,液晶分子的長軸方向係與電極面平行配置, 從電極基板的一邊到電極基板的另一邊之間,液晶分子的 長軸方向會成90度的扭曲配列。接下來將說明TN型LCD 的動作原理。請參照第1A圖,其繪示的是無外加電壓時, TN型LCD的動作原理示意圖◦由第1A圖可知,液晶分 子102會隨著玻璃基板1〇4與玻璃基板106之表面的配向 方向而扭曲配向。再者,利用偏光板108與偏光板no以 10494-PI-375 5 1263967 正交狀態夾住液晶分子102,而使得通過偏光板108的入 射光,會因爲液晶分子102的90度扭曲配向(亦稱爲旋光 性),而通過偏光板110,而呈現出明亮的狀態。接下來請 參照第1B圖,其繪示的是施加外加電壓時,TN型LCD 的動作原理示意圖。由第1B圖可知,液晶分子1〇2的旋 光性會消失,因此’入射光無法通過偏光板110,而呈現 出黑暗的狀態。而TN型1^0之外加電壓與相對光透射率 之間的關係圖,請參照第2圖所繪示。由第2圖可知,當 TN型LCD原來爲明亮狀態時,如果外加電壓超過臨界電 壓(Vth),則相對光透射率會急劇變化,而使TN型LCD 變成黑暗狀態。而TN型LCD的相對光透射率在很寬的頻 率範圍內,僅與驅動電壓的均方根値Vrms有關,亦即 νπ^Ίί[Κ(ί)]2Λ···(1),其中,V⑴爲電壓差,而T爲單 \ Τ 〇 位時間。 對於目前的ΤΝ型LCD而言,其驅動方法都需採用 多電壓輸出的方式,藉由電壓差來達成LCD的顯示。如 此一來,就需要額外的偏壓分壓電路,而使得工作電流增 大。這對於以電池供應的LCD而言,會存在無法長時間 運作的問題。 爲了更淸楚了解習知的LCD之驅動方法,接下來請 參照第3A圖,其繪示的是以習知之一種LCD之驅動方法 所達成的顯示圖形◦由第3 A圖可知,顯示圖形3 0是由四 個共同電極訊號(COM 1-COM4)及二個區段電極訊號 (SEGn,SEGn+1)所控制◦接下來請參照第3B圖,其繪示 10494-PI-375 6 1263967 的是達成第3A圖之顯示圖形中之共同選擇訊號、共同非 選擇訊號、區段選擇訊號、區段非選擇訊號、共同電極訊 號以及區段電極訊號之波形圖,第3B圖也繪出加在COM4 與SEGn兩訊號交點之顯示區的訊號波形圖◦由第3B圖 可知,共同電極訊號(C0M1-C0M4)及區段電極訊號 (SEGn,SEGn+Ι)在單位時間T內,皆具有四個責任(duty) 區。每一共同電極訊號皆有各自不同時間點的一個責任區 爲選擇責任區,在此選擇責任區內共同電極訊號爲共同選 擇訊號,並有三個責任區爲非選擇責任區,在此非選擇責 任區內共同電極訊號爲共同非選擇訊號。例如,共同電極 訊號C0M1在Ο-0.25T(選擇責任區)內會輸出共同選擇訊 號,在其餘的0.75T(非選擇責任區)內會輸出共同非選擇 訊號。當欲使顯示區爲開啓狀態時,則使區段電極訊號 (SEGn,SEGn+Ι)中對應選擇責任區時的訊號爲區段選擇 訊號;當欲使顯示區爲關閉狀態時,則使區段電極訊號中 對應選擇責任區時的訊號爲區段非選擇訊號。再者,由第 3B圖亦可知,偏壓電壓包括Vl=Vcc,V2=2/3Vcc, V3 = l/3Vcc,以及接地電位Vgnd,其中Vcc爲電源供應器 所提供的正電壓。 在第3B圖所繪示的單位時間T內,共同選擇訊號的 電壓(Vcom選)=V1,共同非選擇訊號的電壓(Vcom非 選)= V3,區段選擇訊號的電壓(Vseg選)= Vgnd,而區段非 選擇訊號的電壓(Vseg非選)= V2 ◦接下來將根據公式(1), 而求出開啓驅動電壓(Vonrms)及關閉驅動電壓(Voffrms) ◦ 10494-PI-375 7 12639671263967 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明 发明A method of driving a display. The prior art is a simple matrix liquid crystal display (SM-LCD), which is configured as a plurality of common electrodes (also referred to as scan electrodes) and a plurality of segment electrodes in a lattice configuration. (also referred to as a column electrode)' and the germanium is sandwiched between the common electrode and the segment electrode. Between the two electrodes, a driving voltage signal is supplied from the outside, and each pixel is driven by a potential difference between the electrodes. In addition, the SM-LCD has a problem of crosstalk due to an increase in the number of common electrodes, so that the difference between the voltage applied by the display pixel and the voltage applied to the non-display pixel is reduced, so the number of common electrodes of the SM-LCD is reduced. There will be restrictions. In the SM-LCD, a Twisted Nematic (TN) type LCD is an isotropic P-type nematic liquid crystal having a positive ferroelectric ratio between the electrode substrates, and a long-axis direction of the liquid crystal molecules and an electrode. The planes are arranged in parallel, and the long-axis direction of the liquid crystal molecules is twisted at a 90-degree angle from one side of the electrode substrate to the other side of the electrode substrate. Next, the operation principle of the TN-type LCD will be described. Referring to FIG. 1A, The schematic diagram of the operation principle of the TN type LCD when no voltage is applied is shown in FIG. 1A, and the liquid crystal molecules 102 are twisted and aligned according to the alignment direction of the surfaces of the glass substrate 1〇4 and the glass substrate 106. The liquid crystal molecules 102 are sandwiched by the polarizing plate 108 and the polarizing plate no in an orthogonal state of 10494-PI-375 5 1263967, so that the incident light passing through the polarizing plate 108 is twisted and aligned by the 90 degree of the liquid crystal molecules 102 (also referred to as optical rotation). The state of the TN-type LCD is shown in FIG. 1B, which is a schematic diagram of the operation principle of the TN-type LCD when an applied voltage is applied. It can be seen from FIG. 1B that the liquid crystal molecules are visible. 1〇2 The optical rotation disappears, so the incident light does not pass through the polarizing plate 110, and it exhibits a dark state. The relationship between the applied voltage and the relative light transmittance of the TN type 1^0 is shown in FIG. As can be seen from Fig. 2, when the TN type LCD is originally in a bright state, if the applied voltage exceeds the threshold voltage (Vth), the relative light transmittance changes abruptly, and the TN type LCD becomes dark. The TN type LCD The relative light transmittance is only related to the root mean square 値Vrms of the driving voltage in a wide frequency range, that is, νπ^Ίί[Κ(ί)]2Λ···(1), where V(1) is the voltage difference, T is a single \ 〇 时间 time. For the current ΤΝ type LCD, the driving method needs to adopt multi-voltage output mode, and the LCD display is realized by the voltage difference. Therefore, additional bias is needed. The voltage divider circuit increases the operating current. This is a problem that the battery supplied by the battery cannot operate for a long time. To understand the driving method of the conventional LCD, please refer to the following. 3A, which is a conventional LCD The display pattern achieved by the driving method is as shown in FIG. 3A, and the display pattern 30 is controlled by four common electrode signals (COM 1-COM4) and two segment electrode signals (SEGn, SEGn+1). Please refer to FIG. 3B, which shows that 10494-PI-375 6 1263967 is a common selection signal, a common non-selection signal, a segment selection signal, a segment non-selection signal, a common electrode in the display pattern of FIG. 3A. The signal waveform of the signal and the segment electrode signal, and FIG. 3B also depicts the signal waveform of the display area added to the intersection of the COM4 and SEGn signals. As shown in FIG. 3B, the common electrode signal (C0M1-C0M4) and the segment electrode The signal (SEGn, SEGn+Ι) has four duty zones in unit time T. Each common electrode signal has a responsibility area at different time points as a selection responsibility area. Here, the common electrode signal in the responsibility area is selected as a common selection signal, and three responsibility areas are non-selection responsibility areas, and no responsibility is selected here. The common electrode signal in the zone is a common non-selection signal. For example, the common electrode signal C0M1 outputs a common selection signal in the Ο-0.25T (selection responsibility area), and a common non-selection signal is output in the remaining 0.75T (non-selection responsibility area). When the display area is to be turned on, the signal corresponding to the selected area of the sector electrode signal (SEGn, SEGn+Ι) is the section selection signal; when the display area is to be turned off, the area is made The signal in the segment electrode signal corresponding to the selection of the area of responsibility is the segment non-selection signal. Furthermore, as can be seen from Fig. 3B, the bias voltages include Vl = Vcc, V2 = 2/3 Vcc, V3 = 1 / 3 Vcc, and the ground potential Vgnd, where Vcc is the positive voltage supplied by the power supply. In the unit time T shown in FIG. 3B, the voltage of the common selection signal (Vcom selection)=V1, the voltage of the common non-selection signal (Vcom non-selection)=V3, the voltage of the section selection signal (Vseg selection)= Vgnd, and the voltage of the segment non-selected signal (Vseg is not selected) = V2 ◦ Next, according to formula (1), the turn-on driving voltage (Vonrms) and the turn-off driving voltage (Voffrms) are obtained. ◦ 10494-PI-375 7 1263967

From the above, the conventional LCD system is used. The change of the display area is controlled by the voltage difference between the common selection signal and the section selection signal. Since the display method of the conventional LCD must have a bias voltage dividing circuit, etc., the operating current is large and power consumption is required. For a battery-supplied LCD, there is a problem that it cannot operate for a long time. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, the present invention provides a display driving method using a phase difference between a common electrode signal and a segment electrode signal when selecting a responsibility area.

Select the signal. Here, the one area of responsibility that uses the common selection signal is called the selection responsibility area, and the other N-1 areas of responsibility are called the non-selection area.
