Definitions
- the present invention relates to an LCD display device for a device in which it is desirable to change a display density.
- LCDs Liquid crystal display elements
- display segments Liquid crystal display elements
- dynamic driving a driving method called dynamic driving
- This method can be improved by driving a large number of display segments with a large number of pins, but using a large number of pins is often difficult to implement.
- the LCD drive device uses a stabilized voltage to prevent the drive voltage from fluctuating, and the volume of the display varies depending on the viewing angle and temperature. It is common practice to change the drive voltage so that it can be seen easily at that time using a device, etc., but every time the environment changes, the user must adjust it. Not only is it cumbersome and inconvenient to use, but also the number of parts increases, which is also a factor in cost increase. (See Fig. 2, Fig. 3, and Fig. 4.) It is an object of the present invention to obtain an LCD display device that can always obtain a good LCD display suitable for a use state, with almost no increase in cost regardless of a method of changing a voltage.
- the usage state is detected, and the LCD driving one frame period is detected.
- the period insert a period (T.) to make the voltage difference between all common terminals connected to the LCD and all segment terminals 0 or a value close to 0, and detect the effective voltage between the common terminal and the segment terminals. Control to a voltage suitable for the specified use condition.
- a voltage detection device is added when the operating voltage fluctuates due to a battery or the like, and a temperature detection device is used for temperature fluctuation by using a temperature-sensitive resistor or the like.
- the operating status is determined using the operated key. If the status is unknown, a display density key is provided, and the user operates the keys to input.
- a mechanism is provided to detect the operating state, such as adjusting the display density of the LCD based on the signal obtained from the device, and according to the stored or input state, during one frame cycle of the LCD drive, A period (T.) where the difference between the voltage of all common terminals connected to the LCD and all segment terminals is 0 V is provided, and the period ( ⁇ ) is made variable to change the effective voltage.
- FIG. 1 is a reference diagram for explaining the legibility of the LCD display.
- FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of a conventional LCD drive circuit.
- FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a conventional LCD drive voltage waveform.
- FIG. 4 is a correlation diagram between general luminance and effective voltage.
- FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing an LCD drive circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an LCD drive voltage waveform according to the embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an LCD drive voltage waveform according to the embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 8 is a correlation diagram between the luminance and the effective voltage according to the embodiment of the present invention.
- the control unit calculates the optimum concentration value M for the state using the voltage detector key switch (omitted in the figure) and outputs it to the counter.
- the counter counts the number of times repeatedly from 0 to (3 + M) for each input of T.
- the display RAM outputs n bits of data corresponding to COM1 if it is 0, COM2 if it is 1, COM3 if it is 2, and COM4 if it is 3. Output to the selector for If the value is 4 or more, all n-bit data is output as 0.
- Segment pin output selector in accordance with n-bit with Dinner one evening outputted from the display RAM, if bit I 1, the V N in the corresponding segment terminals, and outputs the V Q if 0.
- V 40FF (M) 2 (0 2 T + 1/2 V DD 2 X 3 T / 2 + (-1/2 VDD) 2 X
- V 40FF (M) (3 / (16 + 4M )) 1/2 x VDD
- V 4 oN (M) 2 ⁇ (-VDD) 2 XT / 2 + VDD 2 XT / 2 + (1/2 VDD)
- V 40N (M) (7 / (16 + 4 ⁇ )) 1/2 XV DD
- VDD ' (4 / (4 + M)) 1/2 X VDD
- the effective value voltage at which the luminance reaches N 0FF is 1.6 V
- the voltage at which NON is reached is 1.8 V
- the angle When viewed from the vertical direction at a temperature of 90 °, the liquid crystal material is blended so that the effective value voltage to reach the luminance N 0FF is 2.4 V and the voltage to reach N 0N is 2.8 V.
- the non-lighting output V 4 At a viewing angle of 40 °, the non-lighting output V 4 .
- the brightness at FF (2) is N. It is larger than FF and is not lit.
- the brightness at the lighting output V 40N (2) is sufficiently smaller than NON, and the lamp is lit.
- the non-lighting output V 4 Even when the viewing angle is 90 °, the non-lighting output V 4 .
- the luminance at FF (0) is N. It is sufficiently larger than FF and is not lit.
- the system When the setting key is pressed, the system enters the “setting mode” where the subject inputs gender, age group, and height.
- the measurement subject When the measurement key is pressed, the measurement subject is in the “measurement mode” in which the subject is standing and measures weight and bio-impedance.
- the best display can be obtained with a viewing angle of about 90 °.
- T. ⁇ * ⁇ , but ⁇ .
- the unit time during the period may be a time t smaller than ⁇ . As t is smaller, T.
- the length of the period can be set finely, and the apparent effective value voltage, that is, the display density, can be controlled more finely.
- the display density is controlled by selecting “a state where a period (T.) is always inserted” and “a state where a period ( ⁇ .) Is not always inserted” during one frame period TF .
- a state may be provided in which a frame period is defined as one period, and a period ( ⁇ ) is inserted only in ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ of the frame periods.
- Fine display density can be set.
- four-time division is used, but of course, three-time division and two-time division are used. Based on, a better display can be obtained.
