- the data line electrode of the panel is represented by the X electrode
- the driver IC driving the X electrode is represented by the X driver.
- the voltage applied to the unselected ⁇ electrode is V1 or V4. When the unselected ⁇ electrode is at V1, the voltage applied to the X electrode is V0 or V2, and when the unselected ⁇ electrode is at V4, the voltage applied to the X electrode is V3 or V 5
- the Y electrode When the L line (L is a positive integer of 2 or more) is selected simultaneously by MLS driving, the Y electrode requires a total of three potential levels of VM and VH and VL with this VM at the midpoint.
- VM is used for a non-selection potential
- VH and VL are used for a selection potential.
- the X electrode requires a potential of (L + 1) Leppel around VM.
- VH—HL for driving the Y electrode decreases, and conversely, a large voltage width is required for driving the X electrode.
- FIG. 49 shows an example of a power supply circuit that can be used when the 4-line simultaneous selection method is used.
- the voltages required for driving the panel are VH and VL, which are the selection voltages for the Y electrode, VM, which is the non-selection voltage for the Y electrode, and Vx0 to Vx4, which are the drive voltages for the X electrode.
- the central potential Vx2 on the X electrode side is the same as VM.
- VH-VL is about 25 V
- VxO-Vx1 is about 1.6 V.
- VEE is much higher than VCC.
- VDDy and VSSy are the voltages of the logic section of the Y driver, and VCC and GND are directly connected.
- the withstand voltage required for the X driver is VxO-Vx4. For example, a panel equivalent to 1/240 duty only needs about 7 V.

- the voltage applied to the Y electrode when not selected is VM, and the voltage applied to the X electrode is Vx0 to Vx4.
- the voltage difference between Vx0 to Vx4 and VM is considerably smaller than the voltage difference between VEE and GND. Therefore, the effective utilization of Ipn is extremely low, and most of it travels through the operational amplifier to the path to GND, which simply causes heat loss and heats the operational amplifier.

- the part of IXDx (VEE-VC C) also moves inside the operational amplifier and goes to the GND to simply lose heat and heat the operational amplifier.

- VM + — ⁇ or VD 2 considerably smaller than VS 2.

According to the present embodiment having the above configuration, the power consumption of the liquid crystal display device driven by the four-line simultaneous selection method can be reduced for the following reasons.
- the first reason is that the power consumption due to the charge / discharge current of the panel is ultimately reduced.
- the charge / discharge current that accounts for the majority of the panel current that is, the charge / discharge current flowing between the X electrode and the unselected Y electrode.
- the charge / discharge current flowing between the X electrode voltage V3, one V3, V2, one V2 and the Y electrode voltage VC is defined as IP3, IM3, IP2, and IM2, respectively.
- the power consumption by IP 3 is Vcc ⁇ IP 3.
- the power consumption by IM3 is almost Vcc XI M3, and the power consumption by IP2 and IM2 is almost (1/2) xVc cx IP2, (1/2) xVc cx becomes IM2.
- the power consumption by each of these currents is VEEx IP3, VEEx IM3, VEEx IP2, and VEEx IM2. Since VEE is about 25V and Vcc is about 3.3V, the power consumption by IP3 and IM3 is 1/7 or less of the background example, and the power consumption by IP2 and IM2 is 1/14 or less.
- the charge / discharge current flowing between the X electrode and the selected Y electrode is considered.
- the charge and discharge currents flowing between the voltages VH and VL of the Y electrode and the X electrode are defined as I VH and IV L, respectively.
- the power consumption by IVH and IVL is almost 5 Vcc I VH and 5xVc cx IVL, respectively. It becomes smaller than the power consumption of the background example.
- the second reason is that the power consumption in the logic section of the X driver that operates at high speed and consumes a large amount of current is reduced.
- the current consumption in the logic section of the X driver is supplied from the high voltage VEE, so that the power consumption is VEEx current consumption.
- the power consumption is VccX current consumption, which is 1/7 or less of the background example.
- the booster circuit of the charge bomb type are small in boosting capability, out the output voltage takes a large current is reduced .
- the current of the high-voltage system is large, and therefore, the capacity of the charge pump type booster circuit is insufficient for forming VEE. Therefore, in the background example, a switching-regular type DC-DC converter that rectifies the high voltage generated when the current flowing through the coil is intermittent and forms a high voltage VEE is used.
- the efficiency of the switching-regular one-day DC-DC converter is very low, about 80% for a 5V input, and about 60% for a 3.3V input.
- the power consumption of the liquid crystal display device driven by the power supply circuit of the background example is very large, including the booster circuit forming VEE.
- the liquid crystal display device driven by the power supply circuit of the present embodiment has a small high-voltage current. Therefore, the high voltage VEE can be supplied by a high-efficiency charge-pump type booster circuit with a small output capability, and the power consumption including the booster circuit forming the VEE can be greatly reduced.
- the power supply circuit of this embodiment can reduce the power consumption of the liquid crystal display device.
- typical power consumption is expected to be about 12 mW. Value.
- VL can be formed by incorporating an operational amplifier type regulator in the IC instead of the externally connected circuit using a bipolar transistor as described above. is there.
- an external transistor for switching the VH-GND among the elements that constitute the double booster circuit 4 for forming the VH, and to integrate the rest on one chip. It is a practical means.
- the power supply circuit since most of the configuration is formed by the charge pump circuit, an impression that many capacitors are required is given. However, in practice, it is possible to omit part of the backup capacitor included in the charge pump circuit, or to use a capacitor with a small capacitance value of about 0.1 / F. This is because the capacitance of the LCD panel itself acts as a backup capacitor.

- a latch pulse LP including a pulse generated every horizontal scanning period (1H) is used.
- D-type 'flip-flob DF has its / Q output connected to the write data input D, which toggles on the rising edge of LP.

- a charge pump circuit (a negative-direction six-fold booster circuit 2 shown in FIG. 1) is based on a clock generated by a pulse-like clock LP including periodically generated pulses (P1, P2, etc. in FIG. 5). Etc.) and charge pump operation is performed. Then, the charging of the pumping capacitor included in the charge pump circuit and the charging of the backup capacitor by the pumping capacitor are stopped during the pulse generation period of the pulsed clock LP. That is, as shown by Tp in FIG. 5, both the signal A and the signal B are at the mouth level during the generation period of the LP pulse (the period when LP is at the high level).
- LP is a pulse clock having a pulse width of about 100 ns to 300 ns and a period of about several tens of s / s to 100 s.
- LP since panel charging and discharging occur in one horizontal scanning (1H) cycle, it is reasonable to use LP to charge the panel drive voltage in 1H cycles.
- the pulse-like clock used in the present embodiment is not limited to the LP which is a latch pulse for the X driver, but may be a shift clock YS CL for the Y driver, for example. If a pulsed clock is not used, a period Tp for turning off the switch group may be created by using a delay circuit or the like.
- both the signal A and the signal B are at a low level so that the operation of the charge pump circuit is stopped. That is, the power supply circuit has a function of stopping the clock supplied to the charge pump circuit. By adding this function, the power consumption of the power supply circuit during display-off control can be reduced to almost zero. In addition, since the output of the selection voltage is stopped at the same time, it is possible to provide the entire liquid crystal display device with the display off control function even if the Y driver does not have the display off control function.

- this method is also effective for improving the display quality.
- the charging of the pump 'capacitor Cp (charging operation) and the charging of the back-up capacitor Cb by Cp (pump operation) take two horizontal scanning periods ( 2H).

Therefore, c also be sufficiently driven by a simple technique supply voltage formed by the above, the circuit of Figure 43, a function of to level shift the signal LP to form a shift clock YSCL for the Y driver Yes are doing. It is preferable to insert a smoothing capacitor Cx of about 0.1 F between the power supply terminals of the buffer.
- VCC was described as 3.3V. However, when VCC is 5V, lowering the power consumption by converting the VCC to a lower voltage using an operational amplifier and driving the power supply circuit 91, the Y driver IC89, and the X driver IC90 is more effective.

- Vx1 has the same potential as VC, and VxO and Vx2 have a symmetrical relationship with each other about Vxl.
- VH is about 16 V and Vx 0 is about 2 V. That is, the only difference from the thirteenth embodiment is that the center potential is added as the drive voltage of the X electrode, and that VH slightly decreases and Vx0 slightly increases.
- the power supply circuit according to the present embodiment is used to generate such a symmetrical voltage with low power consumption.
- VCC is 3.3 V
- a low-voltage liquid crystal with an effective value of 1:11 of about 1.6 V should be used.
- VCC is about 1.5 V
- low-voltage liquid crystal should be used and this VCC can be used as it is as Vx0.
- the power supply circuit itself as well as a low power consumption, required for power consumption greatly reduced by c also driven by the same reason in the panel current and reasons described in Example 13 The voltage can be lower than that of the thirteenth embodiment, and further lower power consumption can be achieved.
- the power consumption due to this is IXDxVEE.
- the power consumption is only IXDXVCC, and the power consumption can be significantly reduced as compared with the comparative example.
- FIG. 45A shows another configuration example of the liquid crystal display device. This embodiment is an example in which the Y electrodes are driven by the simultaneous selection method of four lines.
- the voltages required to be applied to the liquid crystal panel are shown in Figure 45B.
- the driving of the c Y electrode shown in Figure 45B requires VC, which is a non-selection level, and VH and V, which are selection levels. Are symmetrical with each other about VC.
- Driving of the X electrode requires five levels of voltages from Vx0 to Vx4, where ⁇ 2 is at the same potential as ⁇ (: Vx0 and Vx4 and Vx1 and Vx3 are Vx2.
- the number of Y electrodes scanned in one frame period is about 240, and In the case where a normal liquid crystal having an effective value of about 2 V is used, assuming that the voltage of VC is 0 V, VH is about 11.3 V and VxO is about 2.9 V. That is, different from the fourteenth embodiment. The only points are that a two-level voltage that is symmetrical to the center potential is added as the drive voltage for the X electrode, and that VH decreases slightly and Vx 0 increases slightly.
- VCC and Vx0 are relatively close to each other, it is possible to use VCC as it is as VxO, as shown in Figure 45 A. In this case, use a liquid crystal with a slightly higher Vth If either set slightly lower VEE, it is also easily contrast adjustment.
- FIG. 46A shows another configuration example of the liquid crystal display device. This embodiment is an example in which the Y electrode is driven by the simultaneous selection method for 6 lines.
- Figure 46B shows the voltages that need to be applied to the liquid crystal panel in this driving method.

- VH is about 0 V when the voltage of VC is 0 V. 9.2 V, Vx 0 is about 3.6 V.

- the maximum voltage width required for driving the Y electrodes and the driving of the X electrodes when the number of lines selected simultaneously is 15 to 16 Is equal to the maximum voltage width required for.
- this voltage is slightly less than 6 V.
- the driving method with more Y electrodes selected at the same time requires a lower maximum voltage, which is advantageous in reducing power consumption.
- the number of voltage levels required for driving increases, complicating the power supply circuit and increasing the cost of the X driver IC. Therefore, it is practical to select eight or less lines simultaneously. Can be said.
- the first and second input potentials VCC and GND are changed to V3, V2, VI, VC, one VI, —V2, one V3 ( It is used as one of the first to Nth potentials) and as the power supply voltage for the logic part of the driver IC.
- VEE, VCC, GND or VCC, GND input power supply voltage
- an increase in the number of input power supply voltages is not preferable for a user of the liquid crystal display device. As described in Examples 13 to 16.
- VCC and GND are used as V3, V2-1 V2, or 1 V3 and used as the power supply voltage of the logic section of the driver IC, the drive will be slightly different from the optimal voltage. However, it is possible to display an image having no problem in practical use. Therefore, it is more practical to suppress an increase in the number of input power supply voltages as in the thirteenth to sixteenth embodiments.
- V3 If none of V3, V2 to one V2, and one V3 match VCC; and GND, a voltage different from VCC and GND is applied by the charge pump operation as described in Fig. 33.
- the generated voltage can be used as any of V3, V2-one V2, one V3.
- the X-driver latch pulse signal LP or the Y-driver shift clock YSCL is used as the pulsed clock input to the power supply circuit 91.
- the reason why the signal forming the clock of the power supply circuit 91 is preferably a periodic pulsed clock is as described in the second embodiment.
- the latch pulse signal for the X driver is a periodic pulse-like clock signal having a cycle of 3 to about L0 and a pulse width of about 100 ns to 300 ns, and thus can be used as a pulse-like clock for the power supply circuit 91 without any problem. .
- the Y-driver shift clock is input separately from the X-driver latch pulse, but in this case, the Y-driver shift clock is also a periodic pulse-like clock signal similar to the X-driver latch pulse. Therefore, there is no problem using this clock.
- These signals are the most appropriate among the timing signals input to the liquid crystal display device. Since most of the current consumed by the liquid crystal display device is the current that flows each time one horizontal scanning period is switched, the charge pump circuit that supplies that current is supplied to the X-driving circuit, which is a pulsed clock for each horizontal scanning period. It makes sense to operate in synchronism with the latch pulse for the driver and the shift clock for the Y driver.
