Abstract

Provided is a display device in which a reduction in display quality is suppressed while power consumption is reduced more than conventional configurations. A liquid crystal display device performs so-called low-frequency refresh driving for providing an idle period after a scan period, and drives a gate line in two types of drive modes, a video display mode and a still image display mode. The liquid crystal display device performs two operations in still image display mode, a rewrite operation and a normal operation. The rewrite operation is performed during a still image rewrite period including two video scan periods (T11). Normal operation is performed by alternately repeating the video scan period (T11) and the still image rest period (T12) using a single still image frame period as a unit.

Description

顯示裝置及其驅動方法 Display device and driving method thereof

本發明係關於一種顯示裝置及其驅動方法,特別是關於一種適於靜態圖像之顯示之顯示裝置及其驅動方法。 The present invention relates to a display device and a driving method thereof, and more particularly to a display device suitable for display of a still image and a driving method thereof.

自先前以來,對液晶顯示裝置等顯示裝置要求消耗電力之降低。因此,於專利文獻1中,揭示有於對液晶顯示裝置之閘極線進行掃描之掃描期間T1之後,設置使所有閘極線為非掃描狀態之休止期間T2之顯示裝置之驅動方法。於該休止期間T2中,不對閘極驅動器提供時脈信號等。因此,由於作為整體之閘極線之驅動頻率減低,故而可實現低消耗電力化。以下,如該專利文獻1中所記載之驅動方法般,將藉由於掃描期間T1之後設置休止期間T2而進行之驅動稱為「低頻更新驅動」。此低頻更新驅動主要用於靜態圖像顯示。 Since the prior art, display devices such as liquid crystal display devices have required a reduction in power consumption. For this reason, Patent Document 1 discloses a method of driving a display device in which a gate period T1 in which all gate lines are in a non-scan state is provided after a scan period T1 in which a gate line of a liquid crystal display device is scanned. During the rest period T2, no clock signal or the like is supplied to the gate driver. Therefore, since the driving frequency of the gate line as a whole is reduced, it is possible to achieve low power consumption. In the following, as in the driving method described in Patent Document 1, the driving by the idle period T2 after the scanning period T1 is referred to as "low frequency update driving". This low frequency update driver is mainly used for still image display.

上述低頻更新驅動係較先前縮短掃描期間T1,並且設置較長之休止期間T2。因此,若進行低頻更新驅動,則用以將影像信號寫入各像素形成部之時間變短,故而有顯示先前之訊框期間之圖像(殘像)之情況。 The above-described low frequency update driving system shortens the scanning period T1 earlier than the previous one, and sets a longer rest period T2. Therefore, when the low-frequency update driving is performed, the time for writing the video signal to each pixel forming portion is shortened, so that the image (after-image) of the previous frame period is displayed.

因此,於專利文獻2中,揭示有圖11所示之於設置2次上述掃描期間T1(對閘極線進行2次掃描)後設置上述休止期間T2之顯示裝置之驅動方法。根據專利文獻2所揭示之低頻更新驅動,與上述專利文獻1中所記載之低頻更新驅動相比用以將影像信號寫入各像素形成部之時間約為2倍。 因此,可消除殘像之顯示。 Therefore, Patent Document 2 discloses a driving method of a display device in which the above-described rest period T2 is set after the scanning period T1 (two scanning of the gate line) is provided twice as shown in FIG. According to the low frequency update drive disclosed in Patent Document 2, the time for writing a video signal to each pixel formation portion is approximately twice as large as that of the low frequency update drive described in Patent Document 1. Therefore, the display of the afterimage can be eliminated.

[專利文獻2]日本專利特開2002-278523號公報 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2002-278523

就上述專利文獻2中所記載之低頻更新驅動而言,於在連續之訊框期間中顯示相同圖像之情形時,亦於各訊框期間中對閘極線進行2次掃描。但是,於此情形時並不需要對閘極線進行2次掃描。因此,於在連續之訊框期間中顯示相同圖像之情形時,因對閘極線進行多餘之掃描,故而使消耗電力增加。 In the case of the low frequency update driving described in the above Patent Document 2, when the same image is displayed in the continuous frame period, the gate line is also scanned twice in each frame period. However, in this case, it is not necessary to scan the gate line twice. Therefore, when the same image is displayed during the continuous frame period, the power consumption is increased by performing unnecessary scanning on the gate line.

因此,本發明之目的在於提供一種抑制顯示品質之降低,並且較先前降低消耗電力之顯示裝置及其驅動方法。 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a display device and a method of driving the same that suppress a reduction in display quality and reduce power consumption earlier.

根據本發明之第4態樣或第5態樣,於進行極性反轉驅動之液晶顯示裝置中,於第2驅動模式下之上述特定期間中包含2個第1訊框期間中之掃描期間。因此,可充分地進行將與應顯示之圖像對應之電位向各像素形成部之寫入,故而消除殘像之顯示。藉此,可充分地抑制顯示品質之降低。 According to the fourth aspect or the fifth aspect of the present invention, in the liquid crystal display device that performs the polarity inversion driving, the scanning period in the two first frame periods is included in the specific period in the second driving mode. Therefore, the writing of the potential corresponding to the image to be displayed to each pixel forming portion can be sufficiently performed, so that the display of the afterimage is eliminated. Thereby, the deterioration of the display quality can be sufficiently suppressed.

Therefore, since the writing of the potential corresponding to the image to be displayed is sufficiently performed on each pixel forming portion, the display of the afterimage can be eliminated. Thereby, the deterioration of the display quality can be sufficiently suppressed. Further, since the driving frequency of the scanning signal line at the time of changing the image to be displayed is lowered, further low power consumption can be realized.

Therefore, the writing to the respective pixel forming portions of the potential corresponding to the image to be displayed is sufficiently performed, so that the display of the afterimage is eliminated. Thereby, the deterioration of the display quality can be sufficiently suppressed.

根據本發明之第12態樣,可將第1驅動模式用於動態圖像顯示,將第2驅動模式用於靜態圖像顯示。 According to the twelfth aspect of the present invention, the first driving mode can be used for moving image display, and the second driving mode can be used for still image display.

根據本發明之第13態樣,藉由氧化物半導體而形成有半導體層之薄膜電晶體被用作像素形成部內之開關元件。因此,可長時間保持寫入至像素形成部之電位,故而可充分地設置休止期間。因此,閘極線之驅動頻率較先前之低頻更新驅動更降低,故而可實現進一步之低消耗電力化。又,可使與應顯示之圖像對應之電位之向像素形成部的寫入高速化,即,由於可縮短掃描期間,故而顯示部之亮度波形之振幅變小。其結果,變得難以識別閃爍。 According to the thirteenth aspect of the invention, the thin film transistor in which the semiconductor layer is formed by the oxide semiconductor is used as the switching element in the pixel formation portion. Therefore, the potential written to the pixel formation portion can be maintained for a long period of time, so that the rest period can be sufficiently set. Therefore, the driving frequency of the gate line is lower than that of the previous low frequency update driving, so that further low power consumption can be realized. Further, the writing of the potential corresponding to the image to be displayed can be accelerated to the pixel forming portion, that is, since the scanning period can be shortened, the amplitude of the luminance waveform of the display portion becomes small. As a result, it becomes difficult to recognize the flicker.

根據本發明之第14態樣,就顯示裝置之驅動方法而言,可發揮與本發明之第1態樣相同之效果。 According to the fourteenth aspect of the present invention, the driving method of the display device can exhibit the same effects as those of the first aspect of the present invention.

以下,一面參照隨附圖式一面對本發明之實施形態進行說明。再者,本說明書中之「相同之長度」亦包含「實際上相同之長度」。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, the "same length" in this specification also includes "actually the same length."

<1.2動態圖像顯示模式及靜態圖像顯示模式> <1.2 Dynamic image display mode and still image display mode>

於顯示控制電路200內設置有未圖示之訊框記憶體。顯示控制電路200係於該訊框記憶體中預先存儲有1訊框前之相當於1訊框之圖像信號DAT,且將此與當前之訊框之相當於1訊框之圖像信號DAT進行比較。再者,若1訊框前之相當於1訊框之圖像信號DAT與當前之訊框之相當於1訊框之圖像信號DAT基本上不一致,則顯示控制電路200以使閘極驅動器400以動態圖像顯示模式動作之方式輸出閘極啟動脈衝信號GSP、及閘極時脈信號GCK,且以使源極驅動器300輸出此動態圖像顯示模式下之所期望之影像信號SS(1)~SS(n)之方式輸出源極啟動脈衝信號SSP、源極時脈信號SCK、及鎖存選通信號LS。又,若1訊框前之圖像信號DAT與當前之訊框之圖像信號DAT一致,則顯示控制電路200以使閘極驅動器400以靜態圖像顯示模式動作之方式輸出閘極啟動脈衝信號GSP、及閘極時脈信號GCK,且以 使源極驅動器300輸出此動態圖像顯示模式下之所期望之影像信號SS(1)~SS(n)之方式輸出源極啟動脈衝信號SSP、源極時脈信號SCK、及鎖存選通信號LS。 A frame memory (not shown) is provided in the display control circuit 200. The display control circuit 200 is pre-stored in the frame memory with the image signal DAT corresponding to the 1 frame before the 1 frame, and the image signal DAT corresponding to the 1 frame of the current frame. Compare. Furthermore, if the image signal DAT corresponding to the 1-frame before the frame is substantially inconsistent with the image signal DAT of the current frame corresponding to the 1-frame, the control circuit 200 is displayed to enable the gate driver 400. The gate start pulse signal GSP and the gate clock signal GCK are output in a moving image display mode operation, and the source driver 300 outputs the desired image signal SS(1) in the moving image display mode. The ~SS(n) mode outputs the source start pulse signal SSP, the source clock signal SCK, and the latch strobe signal LS. Moreover, if the image signal DAT before the first frame coincides with the image signal DAT of the current frame, the display control circuit 200 outputs the gate start pulse signal in such a manner that the gate driver 400 operates in the still image display mode. GSP, and gate clock signal GCK, and The source driver 300 outputs the desired image signals SS(1) to SS(n) in the moving image display mode to output the source start pulse signal SSP, the source clock signal SCK, and the latch selection communication. No. LS.

此外,必須區別靜態圖像顯示模式下應顯示之圖像(靜態圖像)變化之情形與自靜態圖像顯示模式轉移至動態圖像顯示模式之情形。因此,更詳細而言,顯示控制電路200係於在靜態圖像顯示模式下1訊框前之相當於1訊框之圖像信號DAT與當前之訊框之相當於1訊框之圖像信號DAT不一致之情況持續特定訊框之情形時,使閘極驅動器400之驅動模式轉移為動態圖像顯示模式。另一方面,於靜態圖像顯示模式下1訊框前之相當於1訊框之圖像信號DAT與當前之訊框之相當於1訊框之圖像信號DAT不一致,且此現象持續之情況較上述特定次數少,則使閘極驅動器400進行用以於靜態圖像顯示模式下覆寫靜態圖像之動作。 In addition, it is necessary to distinguish between the case where the image (still image) to be displayed in the still image display mode is changed and the case where the image is switched from the still image display mode to the moving image display mode. Therefore, in more detail, the display control circuit 200 is connected to the image signal DAT corresponding to the 1 frame and the image signal corresponding to the 1 frame of the current frame before the 1 frame in the still image display mode. When the DAT is inconsistent and the specific frame is continued, the driving mode of the gate driver 400 is shifted to the moving image display mode. On the other hand, in the still image display mode, the image signal DAT corresponding to the 1 frame before the 1 frame is inconsistent with the image signal DAT of the current frame corresponding to the 1 frame, and the phenomenon continues. Less than the above-described specific number of times, the gate driver 400 is caused to perform an operation for overwriting a still image in the still image display mode.

再者,顯示控制電路200係於在動態圖像顯示模式下1訊框前之相當於1訊框之圖像信號DAT與當前之訊框之相當於1訊框之圖像信號DAT一致之情況持續特定次數之情形時進行自動態圖像顯示模式向靜態圖像顯示模式之轉移。 Furthermore, the display control circuit 200 is in a state in which the image signal DAT corresponding to the 1-frame before the 1 frame in the moving image display mode is identical to the image signal DAT of the current frame corresponding to the 1-frame. The transition from the moving image display mode to the still image display mode is performed for a certain number of times.

於以上之說明中,設為藉由比較存儲於訊框記憶體中之1訊框前之相當於1訊框之圖像信號DAT與當前之訊框之相當於1訊框之圖像信號DAT,而判斷圖像為動態圖像或靜態圖像中之哪一者,但本發明並不限定於此。例如亦可藉由於圖像信號DAT本身附加表示該圖像信號DAT為動態圖像資料或靜態圖像資料之控制資料,而判斷應顯示之圖像 為動態圖像或靜態圖像中之哪一者。 In the above description, it is assumed that the image signal DAT corresponding to the 1 frame and the image signal DAT corresponding to the 1 frame of the current frame are compared by comparing the image signal DAT in front of the 1 frame stored in the frame memory. It is determined whether the image is a moving image or a still image, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the image signal DAT itself may be added to the control data indicating that the image signal DAT is a moving image data or a still image data, and the image to be displayed may be determined. Which of the dynamic images or still images is the one.

<1.3液晶顯示裝置之動作> <1.3 Action of Liquid Crystal Display Device>

圖2係用以說明本實施形態之液晶顯示裝置之動作之信號波形圖。更詳細而言,圖2(A)係用以說明動態圖像顯示模式下之動作之信號波形圖。圖2(B)係用以說明靜態圖像顯示模式下之動作之信號波形圖。於圖2(A)及圖2(B)中,表示對第1列之閘極線GL(1)提供之掃描信號GS(1)、對源極線SL1~SLn中之任意之源極線提供之影像信號、及包含顯示部600之液晶顯示面板整體之平均亮度(以下稱為「面板亮度」)。再者,此處,設為液晶顯示面板為常黑模式之面板。以下,設為於本實施形態中進行所謂之極性反轉驅動說明。又,為使液晶顯示裝置之動作之說明簡單化,設為於靜態圖像顯示模式下,對顯示部600中之m×n個像素形成部於1訊框期間寫入相互為相同極性之影像信號,且於任意之連續之2訊框期間對各像素形成部寫入互不相同之極性之影像信號。 Fig. 2 is a signal waveform diagram for explaining the operation of the liquid crystal display device of the embodiment. More specifically, FIG. 2(A) is a signal waveform diagram for explaining the operation in the moving image display mode. Fig. 2(B) is a signal waveform diagram for explaining the operation in the still image display mode. 2(A) and 2(B), the scanning signal GS(1) supplied to the gate line GL(1) of the first column and any source line to the source lines SL1 to SLn are shown. The image signal to be provided and the average brightness of the entire liquid crystal display panel including the display unit 600 (hereinafter referred to as "panel brightness"). Here, it is assumed that the liquid crystal display panel is a panel of a normally black mode. Hereinafter, the so-called polarity inversion driving will be described in the present embodiment. Further, in order to simplify the description of the operation of the liquid crystal display device, in the still image display mode, the m×n pixel forming portions in the display unit 600 write images of the same polarity in one frame period. The signals are written to mutually different polar image signals for each pixel forming portion during any two consecutive frames.

<1.3.1動態圖像顯示模式下之動作> <1.3.1 Action in dynamic image display mode>

於本實施形態中,進行所謂低頻更新驅動。即,如圖2(A)所示般,本實施形態中之動態圖像顯示模式時之訊框期間(第1訊框期間)即動態圖像訊框期間包括掃描期間、及設置於該掃描期間之後之休止期間。於此掃描期間中,掃描信號GS(1)~GS(m)根據閘極時脈信號GCK依序變為高位準電位。另一方面,於休止期間中,m條閘極線GL1~GLm(掃描信號GS(1)~GS(m))中之任一者均成為低位準電位。 以下,將動態圖像顯示模式下之上述掃描期間稱為「動態圖像掃描期間」,以符號T11表示。又,將動態圖像顯示模式下之上述休止期間稱為「動態圖像休止期間」,以符號T12表示。於動態圖像掃描期間,例如以較60 Hz(16.7 msec)更高之速度進行閘極線GL1~GLm之驅動。 In the present embodiment, so-called low frequency update driving is performed. That is, as shown in FIG. 2(A), the frame period (the first frame period) in the moving image display mode in the present embodiment includes the scanning period and the scanning period. The period of rest after the period. During this scanning period, the scanning signals GS(1) to GS(m) sequentially change to the high level potential according to the gate clock signal GCK. On the other hand, in the rest period, any of the m gate lines GL1 to GLm (scan signals GS(1) to GS(m)) becomes a low level potential. Hereinafter, the above-described scanning period in the moving image display mode will be referred to as a "moving image scanning period", and will be represented by a symbol T11. The above-described rest period in the moving image display mode is referred to as a "moving image pause period" and is represented by a symbol T12. During the dynamic image scanning, the gate lines GL1 GL GLm are driven at a higher speed than 60 Hz (16.7 msec), for example.

於動態圖像掃描期間T11,各影像信號成為正極性。藉由根據掃描信號GS(1)~GS(m)而閘極線GL1~GLm依序成為選擇狀態,而對各像素形成部寫入正極性之影像信號。因此,如圖2(A)所示般,面板亮度增加。 In the moving image scanning period T11, each image signal becomes positive. The gate lines GL1 to GLm are sequentially selected in accordance with the scanning signals GS(1) to GS(m), and a positive image signal is written in each pixel forming portion. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 2(A), the panel brightness is increased.

於動態圖像休止期間T12中,各影像信號固定於Vcom電位。藉此,可降低因各像素形成部中之薄膜電晶體80之斷開漏電流而引起之像素電位(係指像素電極之電位)之變動。再者,亦可將各影像信號固定於除Vcom電位以外之電位(例如1訊框期間中之各影像信號之平均亮度值等)。又,亦可於對各影像信號線提供Vcom電位等後,使該影像信號線為高阻抗狀態。其中,斷開漏電流並未完全消失,如上述般,藉由將各影像信號固定於Vcom電位而可使各像素形成部之像素電位接近於Vcom電位。因此,如圖2(A)所示般,於該動態圖像休止期間T12,面板亮度降低。 In the moving image rest period T12, each image signal is fixed to the Vcom potential. Thereby, the fluctuation of the pixel potential (the potential of the pixel electrode) caused by the off leak current of the thin film transistor 80 in each pixel formation portion can be reduced. Furthermore, each image signal may be fixed to a potential other than the Vcom potential (for example, an average luminance value of each image signal in the 1-frame period, etc.). Further, after the Vcom potential or the like is supplied to each of the video signal lines, the video signal line may be in a high impedance state. Here, the off leakage current does not completely disappear. As described above, by fixing each video signal to the Vcom potential, the pixel potential of each pixel formation portion can be made close to the Vcom potential. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2(A), the panel luminance is lowered during the moving image rest period T12.

本實施形態之液晶顯示裝置係藉由於動態圖像顯示模式下,使以上所示之動態圖像掃描期間T11及動態圖像休止期間T12以1動態圖像訊框期間為單位交替地重複而動作。 In the liquid crystal display device of the present embodiment, the moving image scanning period T11 and the moving image rest period T12 shown above are alternately repeated in units of one moving image frame period in the moving image display mode. .

再者,於上述之例中,係將1動態圖像訊框期間作為包 括1個動態圖像掃描期間T11及動態圖像休止期間T12者而記載,關於此1動態圖像訊框期間之構成(1動態圖像訊框期間中之動作),可相應於所要求之顯示品質等而進行各種變更。例如,各動態圖像訊框期間亦可包括2個動態圖像掃描期間T11及設置於其等後之動態圖像休止期間T12。又例如亦可使包括1個動態圖像掃描期間T11及動態圖像休止期間T12之動態圖像訊框期間、及包括2個動態圖像掃描期間T11及動態圖像休止期間T12之動態圖像訊框期間交替地重複。 Furthermore, in the above example, a dynamic image frame period is used as a package. The one moving picture scanning period T11 and the moving image rest period T12 are described, and the configuration of the one moving picture frame period (the operation during the moving picture frame period) may be corresponding to the required one. Various changes are made in display quality and the like. For example, each of the moving image frame periods may include two moving image scanning periods T11 and a moving image rest period T12 provided thereto. For example, a moving image frame period including one moving image scanning period T11 and moving image rest period T12, and a moving image including two moving image scanning periods T11 and moving image rest periods T12 may be used. Repeatedly during the frame.

<1.3.2靜態圖像顯示模式下之動作> <1.3.2 Action in still image display mode>

如圖2(B)所示般,於靜態圖像顯示模式下,進行用以覆寫上述之靜態圖像之動作(以下稱為「覆寫動作」)及用以顯示相同靜態圖像之動作(以下稱為「常規動作」)之2種動作。於圖2(B)所示之例中,進行自顯示圖像A向顯示圖像B之覆寫動作。 As shown in FIG. 2(B), in the still image display mode, an action for overwriting the above-described still image (hereinafter referred to as "overwrite operation") and an action for displaying the same still image are performed. (hereinafter referred to as "normal movement"). In the example shown in FIG. 2(B), an overwrite operation from the display image A to the display image B is performed.

作為靜態圖像顯示模式時之訊框期間(第2訊框期間)之靜態圖像訊框期間包括與上述動態圖像掃描期間T11相同長度之掃描期間(以下僅稱為「動態圖像掃描期間T11」)、及設置於該動態圖像掃描期間T11之後之較上述動態圖像休止期間T12長之休止期間(以下稱為「靜態圖像休止期間」)。以下,以符號T2表示靜態圖像休止期間。再者,掃描期間及休止期間中之動作,於動態圖像顯示模式時與靜態圖像顯示模式時,除期間之長度以外相互相同。 The still image frame period during the frame period (the second frame period) in the still image display mode includes the scanning period of the same length as the above-described moving image scanning period T11 (hereinafter simply referred to as "the moving image scanning period" T11") and a rest period (hereinafter referred to as "still image rest period") longer than the moving image rest period T12 after the moving image scanning period T11. Hereinafter, the still image rest period is indicated by a symbol T2. Further, the operations during the scanning period and the rest period are the same in the moving image display mode and the still image display mode except for the length of the period.

<1.3.2.1覆寫動作> <1.3.2.1 Overwrite Action>

如圖2(B)所示般,覆寫動作係於作為應顯示之圖像剛變化後之特定期間的靜態圖像覆寫期間進行。本實施形態中之靜態圖像覆寫期間包括上述1動態圖像訊框期間、及設置於該1動態圖像訊框期間之後之上述1靜態圖像訊框期間。即,此靜態圖像覆寫期間包括動態圖像掃描期間T11、動態圖像休止期間T12、動態圖像掃描期間T11、及靜態圖像休止期間T12,且與包括動態圖像掃描期間T11及靜態圖像休止期間T12之各靜態圖像訊框期間相比掃描期間之比率較大。為了進行自顯示圖像A向顯示圖像B之覆寫,首先,於上述1動態圖像訊框期間中之動態圖像掃描期間T11對閘極線GL1~GLm進行1次掃描,且與顯示圖像B對應之影像信號(設為正極性)寫入各像素形成部。但是,如上述般於1動態圖像訊框期間中之動態圖像掃描期間T11中於高速下驅動閘極線GL1~GLm,故而無法充分地進行與顯示圖像B對應之影像信號之向各像素形成部之寫入。再者,於該動態圖像掃描期間T11之後,設置用以低頻更新驅動之動態圖像休止期間T12。 As shown in FIG. 2(B), the overwriting operation is performed during the still image overwriting period which is a specific period immediately after the image to be displayed changes. The still image overwriting period in the embodiment includes the one-time moving image frame period and the one-time still image frame period set after the one moving picture frame period. That is, the still image overwriting period includes a moving image scanning period T11, a moving image rest period T12, a moving image scanning period T11, and a still image rest period T12, and includes a moving image scanning period T11 and static. The ratio of each of the still image frames during the image rest period T12 is larger than that during the scanning period. In order to perform overwriting of the self-display image A to the display image B, first, the gate lines GL1 to GLm are scanned once and displayed in the moving image scanning period T11 during the first moving image frame period. The video signal corresponding to the image B (positive polarity) is written in each pixel forming portion. However, as described above, the gate lines GL1 to GLm are driven at a high speed in the moving image scanning period T11 during the moving picture frame period as described above, so that the image signals corresponding to the display image B cannot be sufficiently performed. The writing of the pixel forming portion. Furthermore, after the moving image scanning period T11, a moving image rest period T12 for low frequency update driving is set.

因此,於本實施形態中,於設置於1動態圖像訊框期間之後之1靜態圖像訊框期間中之動態圖像掃描期間T11中,再次掃描上述閘極線GL1~GLm,將對應於與第1次之動態圖像掃描期間T11時為同極性(正極性)之顯示圖像B的影像信號再次寫入至各像素形成部。因此,充分進行與顯示圖像B對應之影像信號之向各像素形成部之寫入。藉此,可 消除因影像信號之寫入時間不足所引起之殘像。於此動態圖像掃描期間T11之後,設置用以低頻更新驅動之靜態圖像休止期間T2。 Therefore, in the present embodiment, the gate lines GL1 to GLm are scanned again in the moving image scanning period T11 in the still image frame period after the one of the moving picture frame periods, which corresponds to The video signal of the display image B of the same polarity (positive polarity) in the first moving image scanning period T11 is written again to each pixel forming portion. Therefore, the writing to the respective pixel forming portions of the image signal corresponding to the display image B is sufficiently performed. By this, Eliminate the afterimage caused by insufficient write time of the image signal. After the dynamic image scanning period T11, a still image rest period T2 for low frequency update driving is set.

再者,於本實施形態中之靜態圖像覆寫期間時之1動態圖像訊框期間,與上述動態圖像顯示模式時之1動態圖像訊框期間同樣地,於動態圖像掃描期間T11中面板亮度提高之後,於動態圖像休止期間T12中該面板亮度降低。其次,於靜態圖像覆寫期間時之1靜態圖像訊框期間,於動態圖像掃描期間T11中面板亮度提高後,於靜態圖像休止期間T12該面板亮度降低。 Furthermore, during the still image frame period during the still image overwriting period in the present embodiment, during the moving image scanning period, as in the case of the moving picture frame period in the moving image display mode. After the brightness of the panel in T11 is increased, the brightness of the panel is lowered during the moving image rest period T12. Next, during the still image frame during the still image overwriting period, after the panel brightness is increased in the moving image scanning period T11, the panel brightness is lowered during the still image rest period T12.

<1.3.2.2常規動作> <1.3.2.2 General Action>

本實施形態中之常規動作係藉由使動態圖像掃描期間T11及靜態圖像休止期間T12以1靜態圖像訊框期間為單位交替地重複而進行。此處,列舉靜態圖像覆寫期間後之1靜態圖像訊框期間為例進行說明。如圖2(B)所示般,於此1靜態圖像訊框期間中,繼靜態圖像覆寫期間之後進行用以使顯示圖像B顯示之動作。首先,於該1靜態圖像訊框期間中之動態圖像掃描期間T11中對閘極線GL1~GLm進行1次掃描,且將與顯示圖像B對應之影像信號寫入各像素形成部。此影像信號之極性與靜態圖像覆寫期間時不同而為負極性。此動態圖像掃描期間T11之後,進行靜態圖像休止期間T12中之上述之動作。 The normal operation in the present embodiment is performed by alternately repeating the moving image scanning period T11 and the still image rest period T12 in units of one still image frame period. Here, a description will be given by taking an example of a still image frame period after the still image overwrite period. As shown in FIG. 2(B), during the 1st still image frame period, the operation for displaying the display image B is performed after the still image overwriting period. First, the gate lines GL1 to GLm are scanned once in the moving image scanning period T11 in the one-time still image frame period, and the image signals corresponding to the display image B are written in the respective pixel forming portions. The polarity of this image signal is negative compared to the period during which the still image is overwritten. After the moving image scanning period T11, the above-described operation in the still image rest period T12 is performed.

此1靜態圖像訊框期間結束後,於後續之1靜態圖像訊框期間中藉由相同之動作將與顯示圖像B對應之正極性之影 像信號寫入各像素形成部。如此,於常規動作時,將針對每1靜態圖像訊框期間使極性變化之影像信號於每1靜態圖像訊框期間各寫入一次至各像素形成部。於此常規動作時,影像信號之極性於每1靜態圖像訊框期間均不同,但其資料(絕對值)本身則始終為對應於顯示圖像B者。因此,於此常規動作時,影像信號之寫入時間無需確保為與上述之靜態圖像覆寫期間時相同程度。因此,於常規動作時無需將同一極性之影像信號寫入2次。即,於每1靜態圖像訊框期間僅進行1次閘極線GL1~GLm之掃描即可。 After the end of the 1 still image frame period, the positive image corresponding to the display image B is performed by the same action during the subsequent 1st still image frame period. The image signal is written in each pixel forming portion. In this way, in the normal operation, the image signal whose polarity is changed during each of the still image frames is written once to each pixel formation portion every one of the still image frames. In this normal operation, the polarity of the image signal is different during each static image frame, but the data (absolute value) itself is always corresponding to the display image B. Therefore, in this normal operation, the writing time of the image signal does not need to be ensured to be the same as that in the above-described still image overwriting period. Therefore, it is not necessary to write image signals of the same polarity twice during normal operation. That is, only one gate line GL1 to GLm may be scanned during each static image frame period.

<1.4面板亮度之變化> <1.4 Change in panel brightness>

圖3係對於在靜態圖像顯示模式下顯示有閃爍圖案之情形之3種長度的掃描期間(動作掃描期間T11)之面板亮度之波形圖。更詳細而言,圖3(A)係掃描期間為A msec之情形之面板亮度之波形圖。圖3(B)係掃描期間為2A/3 msec之情形之面板亮度之波形圖。圖3(C)係掃描期間為A/2 msec之情形之面板亮度之波形圖。 3 is a waveform diagram of panel luminance for three types of scanning periods (motion scanning period T11) in the case where a blinking pattern is displayed in the still image display mode. More specifically, Fig. 3(A) is a waveform diagram of the panel luminance in the case where the scanning period is A msec. Fig. 3(B) is a waveform diagram of the panel luminance in the case where the scanning period is 2A/3 msec. Fig. 3(C) is a waveform diagram of panel luminance in the case of A/2 msec during scanning.

掃描期間越短,向各像素形成部之影像信號之寫入時間越短。因此,如圖3(A)~圖3(C)所示般,掃描期間越短,面板亮度波形之振幅越小。因此,越縮短掃描期間(於高速下驅動閘極線GL1~GLm),越難以識別顯示圖像之閃光(閃爍)。 The shorter the scanning period, the shorter the writing time of the image signal to each pixel forming portion. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 3(A) to 3(C), the shorter the scanning period, the smaller the amplitude of the panel luminance waveform. Therefore, the shorter the scanning period (driving the gate lines GL1 to GLm at a high speed), the more difficult it is to recognize the flash (blinking) of the display image.

<1.5實現例> <1.5 Implementation Example>

自先前以來,將半導體層中使用有非晶矽(a-Si)之薄膜電晶體(以下稱為「a-SiTFT」)用作液晶顯示裝置之各像素 形成部內之薄膜電晶體。此a-SiTFT特別常用於將閘極驅動器等形成單一積體電路之液晶顯示裝置中。但是,於本實施形態中之各像素形成部內之薄膜電晶體80之半導體層中使用氧化物半導體。再者,作為氧化物半導體,典型的是使用以銦、鎵、鋅、及氧為主成分之氧化物半導體即InGaZnOx(以下稱為「IGZO」),但本發明並不限定於此。例如只要為包含銦、鎵、鋅、銅、矽、錫、鋁、鈣、鍺、及鉛中之至少1種之氧化物半導體即可。 A thin film transistor (hereinafter referred to as "a-SiTFT") using amorphous germanium (a-Si) in a semiconductor layer has been used as a thin film transistor in each pixel formation portion of a liquid crystal display device. This a-Si TFT is particularly commonly used in a liquid crystal display device in which a gate driver or the like is formed into a single integrated circuit. However, an oxide semiconductor is used for the semiconductor layer of the thin film transistor 80 in each pixel formation portion in the present embodiment. In addition, as the oxide semiconductor, InGaZnO x (hereinafter referred to as "IGZO") which is an oxide semiconductor containing indium, gallium, zinc, and oxygen as a main component is typically used, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, it may be an oxide semiconductor containing at least one of indium, gallium, zinc, copper, antimony, tin, aluminum, calcium, strontium, and lead.

圖4係表示於半導體層中使用有a-SiTFT及IGZO之TFT(以下稱為「IGZOTFT」)之汲極電流-閘極電壓特性之圖。於圖4中,橫軸表示閘極電壓Vg,縱軸表示汲極電流Ids。如圖4所示般,IGZOTFT之斷開漏電流為a-SiTFT之斷開漏電流之1/1000以下,並且IGZOTFT之接通電流為a-SiTFT之接通電流之約20倍。 4 is a view showing a drain current-gate voltage characteristic of a TFT using an a-SiTFT and an IGZO (hereinafter referred to as "IGZOTFT") in a semiconductor layer. In FIG. 4, the horizontal axis represents the gate voltage Vg, and the vertical axis represents the drain current Ids. As shown in FIG. 4, the off leakage current of the IGZO TFT is 1/1000 or less of the off leakage current of the a-Si TFT, and the on current of the IGZO TFT is about 20 times the on current of the a-SiTFT.

由於IGZOTFT如上述般斷開漏電流較小,故而將IGZOTFT用作本實施形態中之薄膜電晶體80之情形,與將a-SiTFT用作該薄膜電晶體80之情形相比,可長時間保持像素電位。因此,於將IGZOTFT用作本實施形態中之薄膜電晶體80之情形時,可充分地設置休止期間。 Since the IGZOTFT has a small off-leakage current as described above, the case where the IGZOTFT is used as the thin film transistor 80 in the present embodiment can be maintained for a long time as compared with the case where the a-SiTFT is used as the thin film transistor 80. Pixel potential. Therefore, when the IGZOTFT is used as the thin film transistor 80 in the present embodiment, the rest period can be sufficiently set.

又,由於IGZOTFT如上述般接通電流較大,故而將IGZOTFT用作本實施形態中之薄膜電晶體80之情形,與將a-SiTFT用作該薄膜電晶體80之情形相比,可使向像素形成部之影像信號之寫入高速化。即,可縮短掃描期間。 Further, since the IGZO TFT has a large on-current as described above, the IGZOTFT is used as the thin film transistor 80 in the present embodiment, and the a-Si TFT can be used as the thin film transistor 80. The writing of the image signal in the pixel formation portion is speeded up. That is, the scanning period can be shortened.

<1.6效果> <1.6 effect>

根據本實施形態,於進行低頻更新驅動之液晶顯示裝置中,以動態圖像顯示模式及靜態圖像顯示模式之2種驅動模式進行圖像之顯示。動態圖像顯示模式下之驅動為先前之低頻更新驅動,另一方面,靜態圖像顯示模式下之驅動係藉由覆寫動作及常規動作之2種動作而實現。於進行覆寫動作之靜態圖像覆寫期間中,在靜態圖像顯示模式下之顯示圖像之變化時,相互為同極性之影像信號係於2次之動態圖像掃描期間T11對各像素形成部提供。因此,可充分地進行向各像素形成部之影像信號之寫入,故而可消除殘像之顯示。與此相對,於常規動作中,針對靜態圖像顯示模式下之每一靜態圖像訊框期間僅設置1次動態圖像掃描期間T11,故而可降低閘極線GL1~GLm之驅動所需要之消耗電力。再者,於此常規動作中,影像信號之資料(絕對值)本身為固定,故而影像信號之寫入時間無需確保與靜態圖像覆寫期間時相同程度。即便產生殘像,由於顯示圖像為固定故而不會被識別為殘像。 According to the present embodiment, in the liquid crystal display device that performs low-frequency update driving, images are displayed in two driving modes of the moving image display mode and the still image display mode. The driving in the moving image display mode is the previous low frequency update driving. On the other hand, the driving in the still image display mode is realized by two operations of the overwriting operation and the normal operation. During the still image overwriting period during the overwrite operation, when the display image changes in the still image display mode, the image signals of the same polarity are tied to the second dynamic image scanning period T11 for each pixel. Provided by the formation department. Therefore, the writing of the image signal to each of the pixel forming portions can be sufficiently performed, so that the display of the afterimage can be eliminated. On the other hand, in the normal operation, only one dynamic image scanning period T11 is set for each static image frame period in the still image display mode, so that the driving of the gate lines GL1 to GLm can be reduced. Consume power. Furthermore, in this conventional operation, the data (absolute value) of the image signal itself is fixed, so the writing time of the image signal need not be ensured to be the same as that during the still image overwriting period. Even if an afterimage is generated, the display image is fixed and is not recognized as an afterimage.

又,根據本實施形態,由於靜態圖像休止期間T2較動態圖像休止期間T12長,故而於靜態圖像顯示模式下可謀求更進一步之低消耗電力化。 Further, according to the present embodiment, since the still image rest period T2 is longer than the moving image rest period T12, it is possible to further reduce the power consumption in the still image display mode.

又,根據本實施形態,於各像素形成部內之薄膜電晶體80使用有IGZOTFT。因此,可長時間保持像素電位,故而可充分地設置休止期間。因此,與先前之低頻更新驅動相比閘極線之驅動頻率更降低,故而可謀求更進一步之低消耗電力化。又,由於可使向像素形成部之影像信號之寫入 高速化,即,可縮短掃描期間,故而面板亮度波形之振幅變小。其結果,變得難以識別閃爍。 Moreover, according to the present embodiment, an IGZO TFT is used for the thin film transistor 80 in each pixel formation portion. Therefore, the pixel potential can be maintained for a long period of time, so that the rest period can be sufficiently set. Therefore, the drive frequency of the gate line is further reduced as compared with the previous low frequency update drive, so that further reduction in power consumption can be achieved. Moreover, since the image signal to the pixel forming portion can be written The speed is increased, that is, the scanning period can be shortened, so that the amplitude of the panel luminance waveform becomes small. As a result, it becomes difficult to recognize the flicker.

<1.7變形例> <1.7 Modifications>

圖5係用以說明上述第1實施形態之變形例之液晶顯示裝置之動作的信號波形圖。更詳細而言,圖5(A)係用以說明於動態圖像顯示模式下之動作之信號波形圖。圖5(B)係用以說明於靜態圖像顯示模式下之動作之信號波形圖。再者,關於在液晶顯示裝置之動作中之動態圖像顯示模式下之動作係與上述第1實施形態相同,故而省略其說明。 Fig. 5 is a signal waveform diagram for explaining the operation of the liquid crystal display device according to the modification of the first embodiment. More specifically, FIG. 5(A) is a signal waveform diagram for explaining the operation in the moving image display mode. Fig. 5(B) is a signal waveform diagram for explaining the operation in the still image display mode. In addition, the operation in the moving image display mode in the operation of the liquid crystal display device is the same as that of the above-described first embodiment, and thus the description thereof will be omitted.

於上述第1實施形態中之靜態圖像覆寫期間中,如上述圖2(B)所示般,於第1次之動態圖像掃描期間T11時寫入至各像素形成部之影像信號之極性與於第2次之動態圖像掃描期間T11時寫入至各像素形成部之影像信號之極性為相互相同(正極性)。但是,於本變形例中,如圖5(B)所示般,於第1次之動態圖像掃描期間T11時寫入至各像素形成部之影像信號之極性為正極性,另一方面,於第2次之動態圖像掃描期間T11時寫入至各像素形成部之影像信號之極性為負極性。即,於本變形例中,即便於靜態圖像覆寫期間亦進行極性反轉驅動。如此即便於在靜態圖像覆寫期間中亦進行極性反轉驅動之情形時,藉由於靜態圖像覆寫期間設置充分之掃描期間(2次動態圖像掃描期間T11)而充分地進行與顯示圖像B對應之影像信號之向各像素形成部之寫入。 In the still image overwriting period in the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2(B), the image signal written in each pixel forming portion is recorded during the first moving image scanning period T11. The polarities are the same as the polarities of the video signals written in the respective pixel forming portions in the second moving image scanning period T11 (positive polarity). However, in the present modification, as shown in FIG. 5(B), the polarity of the video signal written in each pixel forming portion during the first moving image scanning period T11 is positive. The polarity of the video signal written to each pixel forming portion in the second moving image scanning period T11 is negative. That is, in the present modification, the polarity inversion driving is performed even during the still image overwriting. In this case, even when the polarity inversion driving is performed during the still image overwriting period, the scanning period is sufficiently set (the secondary moving image scanning period T11) during the still image overwriting period to sufficiently perform and display. The writing of the image signal corresponding to the image B to each pixel forming portion is performed.

根據本變形例,於靜態圖像顯示模式下之顯示圖像之變 化時互不相同之極性之影像信號係於2次之動態圖像掃描期間T11提供給各像素形成部。因此,可充分地進行向各像素形成部之影像信號之寫入,故而與上述第1實施形態同樣地可消除殘像之顯示。 According to the present modification, the display image is changed in the still image display mode The image signals of the polarities different from each other are supplied to the respective pixel forming portions in the two-time moving image scanning period T11. Therefore, since the writing of the video signal to each of the pixel forming portions can be sufficiently performed, the display of the afterimage can be eliminated in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

<2.第2實施形態> <2. Second embodiment> <2.1液晶顯示裝置之動作> <2.1 Action of Liquid Crystal Display Device>

圖6係用以說明本發明之第2實施形態之液晶顯示裝置之動作的信號波形圖。更詳細而言,圖6(A)係用以說明動態圖像顯示模式下之動作之信號波形圖。圖6(B)係用以說明靜態圖像顯示模式下之動作之信號波形圖。再者,由於本實施形態除液晶顯示裝置之動作以外與上述第1實施形態相同,故而省略對該相同之部分之說明。又,如圖6(A)及圖6(B)所示般,關於液晶顯示裝置之動作中之動態圖像顯示模式下之動作及靜態圖像顯示模式下之常規動作,亦與上述第1實施形態相同,故而省略其說明。 Fig. 6 is a signal waveform diagram for explaining the operation of the liquid crystal display device of the second embodiment of the present invention. More specifically, FIG. 6(A) is a signal waveform diagram for explaining the operation in the moving image display mode. Fig. 6(B) is a signal waveform diagram for explaining the operation in the still image display mode. In addition, since the present embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except for the operation of the liquid crystal display device, the description of the same portions will be omitted. Further, as shown in FIGS. 6(A) and 6(B), the operation in the moving image display mode and the normal operation in the still image display mode in the operation of the liquid crystal display device are also the same as the above first Since the embodiments are the same, the description thereof will be omitted.

<2.1.1覆寫動作> <2.1.1 Overwrite Action>

如圖6(B)所示般,本實施形態中之靜態圖像覆寫期間包括2個動態圖像掃描期間T11、及設置於該等2個動態圖像掃描期間T11之後之靜態圖像休止期間T2。換言之,本實施形態中之靜態圖像覆寫期間包括1個動態圖像掃描期間T11與設置於該動態圖像掃描期間T11之後之1靜態圖像訊框期間。即,此靜態圖像覆寫期間與包括動態圖像掃描期間T11及靜態圖像休止期間T12之各靜態圖像訊框期間相比掃描期間之比率較大。為了進行自顯示圖像A向顯示圖像 B之覆寫,首先,於動態圖像掃描期間T11對閘極線GL1~GLm進行1次掃描,將與顯示圖像B對應之影像信號(設為正極性)寫入至各像素形成部。但是,如上述般,於該動態圖像掃描期間T11中以高速驅動閘極線GL1~GLm,故而無法充分地進行與顯示圖像B對應之影像信號之向各像素形成部之寫入。 As shown in FIG. 6(B), the still image overwriting period in the present embodiment includes two moving image scanning periods T11 and a still image pause set after the two moving image scanning periods T11. Period T2. In other words, the still image overwriting period in the present embodiment includes one moving image scanning period T11 and one still image frame period set after the moving image scanning period T11. That is, the ratio of the scanning period during the still image overwriting period to the period of each of the still image frames including the moving image scanning period T11 and the still image rest period T12 is large. In order to display the image from the display image A In the case of the overwriting of B, first, the gate lines GL1 to GLm are scanned once in the moving image scanning period T11, and the image signals corresponding to the display image B (positive polarity) are written to the respective pixel forming portions. However, as described above, the gate lines GL1 to GLm are driven at high speed in the moving image scanning period T11, so that the writing of the image signals corresponding to the display image B to the respective pixel forming portions cannot be sufficiently performed.

因此,於本實施形態中,於此動態圖像掃描期間T11(第1次)之後還設置有動態圖像掃描期間T11(第2次)。因此,於該第2次之動態圖像掃描期間T11中,再次對上述閘極線GL1~GLm進行掃描,將對應於與第1次之動態圖像掃描期間T11時同極性(正極性)之顯示圖像B的影像信號再次寫入各像素形成部。因此,充分地進行與顯示圖像B對應之影像信號之向各像素形成部之寫入。藉此,可消除因影像信號之寫入時間不足所引起之殘像。於該等之2個動態圖像掃描期間T11之後,設置用以低頻更新驅動之靜態圖像休止期間T2。 Therefore, in the present embodiment, the moving image scanning period T11 (second time) is also provided after the moving image scanning period T11 (first time). Therefore, in the second moving image scanning period T11, the gate lines GL1 to GLm are scanned again, and the polarity (positive polarity) corresponding to the first moving image scanning period T11 is used. The video signal of the display image B is written again to each pixel forming portion. Therefore, the writing to the respective pixel forming portions of the image signal corresponding to the display image B is sufficiently performed. Thereby, the afterimage caused by insufficient writing time of the image signal can be eliminated. After the two moving image scanning periods T11, the still image rest period T2 for low frequency update driving is set.

再者,於本實施形態中之靜態圖像覆寫期間中,於第1次之動態圖像掃描期間T11中面板亮度提高之後,於第2次之動態圖像掃描期間T11中該面板亮度進而稍許提高。其次,於靜態圖像休止期間T2中面板亮度降低。 Further, in the still image overwriting period in the present embodiment, after the panel luminance is increased in the first moving image scanning period T11, the panel luminance is further in the second moving image scanning period T11. Slightly improved. Next, the panel brightness is lowered during the still image rest period T2.

<2.2效果> <2.2 effect>

根據本實施形態,未設置上述第1實施形態中之靜態圖像覆寫期間中之動態圖像休止期間T12。因此,可降低掃描期間之動作與休止期間之動作之切換次數,故而可謀求 更進一步之低消耗電力化。 According to the present embodiment, the moving image pause period T12 in the still image overwriting period in the first embodiment described above is not provided. Therefore, the number of times of switching between the operation during the scanning period and the rest period can be reduced, so that it is possible to achieve Further low power consumption.

<2.3第1變形例> <2.3 First Modification>

圖7係用以說明上述第2實施形態之第1變形例之液晶顯示裝置之動作的信號波形圖。更詳細而言,圖7(A)係用以說明動態圖像顯示模式下之動作之信號波形圖。圖7(B)係用以說明靜態圖像顯示模式下之動作之信號波形圖。再者,關於液晶顯示裝置之動作中之動態圖像顯示模式下之動作係與上述第2實施形態相同,故而省略其說明。 FIG. 7 is a signal waveform diagram for explaining the operation of the liquid crystal display device according to the first modification of the second embodiment. More specifically, FIG. 7(A) is a signal waveform diagram for explaining the operation in the moving image display mode. Fig. 7(B) is a signal waveform diagram for explaining the operation in the still image display mode. In addition, the operation in the moving image display mode in the operation of the liquid crystal display device is the same as that of the second embodiment described above, and thus the description thereof will be omitted.

於上述第2實施形態中之靜態圖像覆寫期間中,如上述圖6(B)所示般,於第1次之動態圖像掃描期間T11時寫入至各像素形成部之影像信號之極性與於第2次之動態圖像掃描期間T11時寫入至各像素形成部之影像信號之極性為相互相同(正極性)。但是,於本變形例中,如圖7(B)所示般,於第1次之動態圖像掃描期間T11時寫入至各像素形成部之影像信號之極性為正極性,另一方面,於第2次之動態圖像掃描期間T11時寫入至各像素形成部之影像信號之極性為負極性。即,於本變形例中,即便於靜態圖像覆寫期間亦進行極性反轉驅動。如此即便於在靜態圖像覆寫期間中亦進行極性反轉驅動之情形時,藉由於靜態圖像覆寫期間中設置充分之掃描期間(2次之動態圖像掃描期間T11)而充分地進行與顯示圖像B對應之影像信號之向各像素形成部之寫入。 In the still image overwriting period in the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6(B), the image signal is written to each pixel forming portion during the first moving image scanning period T11. The polarities are the same as the polarities of the video signals written in the respective pixel forming portions in the second moving image scanning period T11 (positive polarity). However, in the present modification, as shown in FIG. 7(B), the polarity of the video signal written in each pixel forming portion during the first moving image scanning period T11 is positive. The polarity of the video signal written to each pixel forming portion in the second moving image scanning period T11 is negative. That is, in the present modification, the polarity inversion driving is performed even during the still image overwriting. In this case, even when the polarity inversion driving is performed during the still image overwriting period, the scanning period is sufficiently set (the dynamic image scanning period T11 of the second time) in the still image overwriting period. The writing of the video signal corresponding to the display image B to each pixel forming portion is performed.

根據本變形例,於靜態圖像顯示模式下之顯示圖像之變化時互不相同之極性的影像信號係於2次之動態圖像掃描 期間T11提供至各像素形成部。因此,充分地進行向各像素形成部之影像信號之寫入,故而與上述第2實施形態同樣地可消除殘像之顯示。 According to the present modification, the image signals of mutually different polarities in the display image change in the still image display mode are subjected to two-time dynamic image scanning. A period T11 is supplied to each pixel forming portion. Therefore, since the writing of the image signal to each of the pixel forming portions is sufficiently performed, the display of the afterimage can be eliminated in the same manner as in the second embodiment.

More specifically, FIG. 8(A) is a signal waveform diagram for explaining the operation in the moving image display mode.

Therefore, the effect of reducing the power consumption is inferior to that of the second embodiment described above, but the display of the afterimage can be eliminated in the same manner as in the second embodiment.

圖10係用以說明本發明之第3實施形態之液晶顯示裝置之動作的信號波形圖。更詳細而言,圖10(A)係用以說明動態圖像顯示模式下之動作之信號波形圖。圖10(B)係用以說明靜態圖像顯示模式下之動作之信號波形圖。再者,由於本實施形態除液晶顯示裝置之動作以外與上述第1實施形態相同,故而省略對該相同之部分之說明。又,如圖10(A)及圖10(B)所示般,關於液晶顯示裝置之動作中之在動態圖像顯示模式下的動作及在靜態圖像顯示模式下之常規動作,亦與上述第1實施形態相同,故而省略其說明。 Fig. 10 is a signal waveform diagram for explaining the operation of the liquid crystal display device of the third embodiment of the present invention. More specifically, FIG. 10(A) is a signal waveform diagram for explaining the operation in the moving image display mode. Fig. 10(B) is a signal waveform diagram for explaining the operation in the still image display mode. In addition, since the present embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except for the operation of the liquid crystal display device, the description of the same portions will be omitted. Further, as shown in FIGS. 10(A) and 10(B), the operation in the moving image display mode and the normal operation in the still image display mode in the operation of the liquid crystal display device are also the same as described above. Since the first embodiment is the same, its description will be omitted.

<3.1.1覆寫動作> <3.1.1 Overwrite Action>

如圖10(B)所示般,本實施形態中之靜態圖像覆寫期間 包括與上述1動態圖像訊框期間為相同長度之掃描期間(以下稱為「長期掃描期間」)、及設置於該長期掃描期間之後之靜態圖像休止期間T2。以下,以符號T10表示長期掃描期間。此靜態圖像覆寫期間與包括動態圖像掃描期間T11及靜態圖像休止期間T12之各靜態圖像訊框期間相比掃描期間之比率較大。由於長期掃描期間T10較動態圖像掃描期間T11長,故而於長期掃描期間T10中之各閘極線之選擇期間變得較動態圖像掃描期間T11中之各閘極線之選擇期間長。 As shown in FIG. 10(B), during the still image overwriting in this embodiment A scanning period (hereinafter referred to as "long-term scanning period") having the same length as that of the above-described 1 moving image frame period and a still image inactivity period T2 set after the long-term scanning period are included. Hereinafter, the long-term scanning period is indicated by the symbol T10. The ratio of the scanning period during the still image overwriting period to the period of each of the still image frames including the moving image scanning period T11 and the still image rest period T12 is large. Since the long-term scanning period T10 is longer than the moving image scanning period T11, the selection period of each gate line in the long-term scanning period T10 becomes longer than the selection period of each gate line in the moving image scanning period T11.

為了進行自顯示圖像A向顯示圖像B之覆寫,首先,於長期掃描期間T10中對閘極線GL1~GLm進行1次掃描,且將與顯示圖像B對應之影像信號(設為正極性)寫入至各像素形成部。如上述般,由於長期掃描期間T10中之各閘極線之選擇期間較動態圖像掃描期間T12中之各閘極線之選擇期間長,故而本實施形態中之靜態圖像覆寫期間中之閘極線GL1~GLm的掃描次數雖為1次,但可充分地進行與顯示圖像B對應之影像信號之向各像素形成部之寫入。於此長期掃描期間T10之後,設置用以低頻更新驅動之靜態圖像休止期間T2。 In order to perform overwriting of the display image A from the display image B, first, the gate lines GL1 to GLm are scanned once in the long-term scanning period T10, and the image signal corresponding to the display image B is set (set as The positive polarity is written to each of the pixel formation portions. As described above, since the selection period of each gate line in the long-term scanning period T10 is longer than the selection period of each gate line in the moving image scanning period T12, the still image overwriting period in the present embodiment is Although the number of scanning times of the gate lines GL1 to GLm is one, the writing of the image signals corresponding to the display image B to the respective pixel forming portions can be sufficiently performed. After the long-term scanning period T10, the still image rest period T2 for the low-frequency update driving is set.

再者,於本實施形態中之靜態圖像覆寫期間中,於長期掃描期間T10中面板亮度提高之後,於此後之靜態圖像休止期間T2中面板亮度降低。 Further, in the still image overwriting period in the present embodiment, after the panel luminance is increased in the long-term scanning period T10, the panel luminance is lowered in the subsequent still image inactivity period T2.

<3.2效果> <3.2 effect>

根據本實施形態,藉由設置長期掃描期間T10而降低覆 寫動作時之閘極線GL1~GLm之驅動頻率,故而可謀求更進一步之低消耗電力化。 According to this embodiment, the overwrite is reduced by setting the long-term scanning period T10. Since the driving frequency of the gate lines GL1 to GLm at the time of writing is written, it is possible to further reduce the power consumption.

<4.其他> <4. Other>
