Below, the peripheral circuit of liquid crystal screen 100 is described referring again to Fig. 1.Screen board is set on the tyre circuit substrate 90 of the substrate different with the insulativity substrate 10 of liquid crystal screen 100 to be driven and uses LSI91.From the screen board driving LSI91 of this tyre circuit substrate 90 vertical enabling signal STV is input to gate drivers 50, horizontal enabling signal STH is input to drain driver 60.In addition, picture signal is input to data line 62.
Below, the driving method of the display device of said structure is described with reference to Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.Fig. 4 is the timing diagram that liquid crystal indicator is selected digital display mode situation.
(1) situation of simulation display mode
According to mode signal MD, when selecting the simulation display mode, data signal line 62 is set at the state of output analog picture signal.In addition, become ' L ', make circuit select TFT41,44 conductings of circuit 40,43 from the selection signal of circuit selection signal line 88.
In addition, make sampling transistor SP conducting, the analog picture signal of data signal line 62 is supplied with drain signal line 61 according to sampled signal based on horizontal enabling signal STH.
According to vertical enabling signal STV, sweep signal is supplied with signal line 51.According to sweep signal, during the TFT71 conducting, analog picture signal Sig is sent to show electrode 80, and is kept by auxiliary capacitor 85 from drain signal line 61.The image signal voltage that applies on the show electrode 80 is applied on the liquid crystal 21,, is orientated, can obtain liquid crystal display by liquid crystal 21 according to this voltage.
In this simulation display mode, owing to the picture signal of input is imported gradually, so be fit to show the dynamic image of full color.Wherein, owing to drive them in the LSI91 of charged base board 90, each driver 50,60 outside, so constantly consume electric power.
(2) digital display mode
According to mode signal MD, when selecting digital display mode, data signal line 62 is set at the state of output digital image signal.Selection signal from the circuit selection signal line becomes ' H ', and holding circuit 110 becomes the state that can work.
In addition, make circuit select the TFT41,44 of circuit 40,43 to end, make TFT42,45 conductings simultaneously.
With LSI91 enabling signal STV, STH are input to gate drivers 50 and drain driver 60 respectively from the screen board driving of tyre circuit substrate 90.Produce sampled signal successively according to this signal, according to each sampled signal make sampling transistor SP1, SP2 ..., SPn successively conducting come digital signal Sig is sampled, and supply with each drain signal line 61.
Here, illustrate that the 1st goes, promptly applies the signal line 51 of sweep signal G1.At first, according to sweep signal G1, each display pixel P11, the P12 that is connected with signal line 51 ..., P1n each TFT conducting 1 horizontal scan period.
Pay close attention to the display pixel P11 of the 1st row the 1st row, the data image signal S11 that samples is outputed to drain signal line 61 according to sampled signal SP.Then, TFT72 becomes conducting state by sweep signal S11, this drain signal D1 is input to the holding circuit 110 of display pixel P11.
The signal that keeps in this holding circuit 110 is imported into signal selecting circuit 120, selects signal A or signal B by this signal selecting circuit 120, and the signal after this selection is applied on the show electrode 80, and this voltage is applied on the liquid crystal 21.
Like this, by scanning, the scanning of 1 picture amount (1 field interval), be that full spot scan finishes, thereby show 1 picture from the signal line 51 of the last row of signal line 51.
Here, when showing 1 picture, stop the screen board of gate drivers 50 and drain driver 60 and tyre is driven the voltage supply of using LSI91, stop their driving.Here, as mentioned above, signal A or signal B are produced by the reference voltage generating circuit 500 that is provided with on the insulativity substrate 10 of liquid crystal display panel 100.Therefore, only from the outside of liquid crystal display panel 100 to holding circuit 110 and reference voltage generating circuit 500 supply line voltage V
DD, V
SSJust enough.
At this moment, data image signal with ' H (height) ' in drain signal line 61 is input under the situation of holding circuit 110, by inverter circuit 111, in signal selecting circuit 120, because to 1TFT121 input ' L ', institute is so that the 1TFT121 conducting is imported ' H ' because 2TFT122 is passed through inverter circuit 112, so the 2TFT122 conducting.
So, select signal B, liquid crystal is applied the voltage of signal B.By show electrode 80 being applied the signal anti-phase, because liquid crystal is by electric field and upright, so can be observed black display as demonstration on the display panel of NW with opposite electrode 32.
Data image signal with ' L ' in drain signal line 61 is input under the situation of holding circuit 110, in signal selecting circuit 120 because to 1TFT121 input ' H ', so the 1TFT121 conducting, because to 2TFT122 input ' L ', so the 2TFT122 conducting.So, select signal A, liquid crystal is applied the voltage of signal A.That is,, do not produce electric field, thereby liquid crystal is not upright because show electrode 80 is applied the voltage identical with opposite electrode 32, thus on the display panel of NW as showing that can observe white shows.
Like this,, can show rest image by writing 1 picture amount, keeping this picture, but in this case, owing to stop the driving of each driver 50,60 and LSI91, so can realize this part low consumpting power.In addition owing to do not need to supply with signal A, signal B from the outside, so that the work of external circuit stops fully, can realize low consumpting power.
Fig. 5 represents the circuit structure diagram of the liquid crystal indicator of the present invention the 2nd embodiment.In the present embodiment, come inversion signal A (=opposite electrode signal V by phase inverter 300
COM), B synthesizes to signal.Thus, cut down the wiring of signal B in the display panel 100, can realize the highly integrated of display pixel 200.
Specifically, can be two kinds of constructive methods.A constructive method is to supply with signal A from tyre circuit substrate 90, carries out anti-phase by the phase inverter 300 that is provided with on the insulativity substrate 10 in the display panel 100 to this signal A.
Another constructive method is provided with the reference voltage generating circuit 500 that produces signal A as shown in Figure 5 on the insulated substrate 10 in display panel 100.Thus, same with the 1st embodiment, the supply power V only from the outside
DD, V
CCJust can, do not need to supply with signal A, signal B.For phase inverter 300 consumed powers are low, be preferably formed as CMOS type phase inverter.Here, the structure of reference voltage generating circuit 500 as described above.
Fig. 6 represents the circuit structure diagram of the liquid crystal indicator of the present invention the 3rd embodiment.In above-mentioned the 1st, the 2nd embodiment, signal selecting circuit 120 is made of 2 N channel-type TFT121,122, and in the future the output signal of the complementation of self-hold circuit 110 is applied to respectively on TFT121,122 the grid.That is, signal selecting circuit 120 is made of the transmission gate (transmission gate) of single channel-type (singlechannel type).
In the present embodiment, has the feature that constitutes signal selecting circuit 120 with cmos type transmission gate.Constitute at transmission gate under the situation of signal selecting circuit 120 by single channel-type, if do not improve the high level output of holding circuit 110, the sufficient electric current that then do not flow among the TFT121,122, the level of signal A, B by signal selecting circuit 120 can reduce the contrast deterioration of liquid crystal display.
But, owing to need to improve the supply voltage V of holding circuit 110
DDCould improve the high level output of holding circuit 110, so consumed power increases.
Here, as shown in Figure 6, by constituting signal selecting circuit 120, thereby problem is solved with cmos type transmission gate 123,124 (complementary type TFT).That is,, do not cause the decline of signal A and signal B, the high level output of holding circuit 110 can be suppressed at the current potential identical with the maximal value of signal A, B according to present embodiment.Thus, do not make the contrast deterioration of liquid crystal display, can realize low consumpting power.
According to above-mentioned same reason, circuit selects the TFT45 of circuit 43 preferably also to be made of CMOS type transmission gate (complementary type TFT).
In the present embodiment, signal A and signal B adopt the structure that is formed by reference voltage generating circuit 500, but same with the 2nd embodiment, also can be by forming signal B by phase inverter 300 inversion signal A.
Display device of the present invention is particularly suitable for reflection-type liquid-crystal display device in liquid crystal indicator.Therefore, the activation configuration of this reflection-type liquid-crystal display device is described with reference to Fig. 7.
As shown in Figure 7, on an insulativity substrate 10, on the semiconductor layer 11 of the islandization that constitutes by polysilicon, form gate insulating film 12, on the gate insulating film above the semiconductor layer 11 12, form gate electrode 13.
