no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0422] In the second embodiment, the self-refresh operation of the pixel circuits of the first to sixth types in the respective groups X and Y described above will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0423] The so-called self-refresh operation refers to the operation in the constant display mode to make the first switch circuit 22, the second switch circuit 23 and the control circuit 24 operate in a predetermined order for a plurality of pixel circuits 2, so that the potential of the pixel electrode 20 (This is also the potential of the internal node N1.) Simultaneously restores to the potential written in the immediately preceding write operation. The self-refresh operation is an operation unique to the present invention performed by each of the above-mentioned pixel circuits. Compared with the "external refresh operation" in which the potential of the pixel electrode 20 is restored by performing a normal write operation as in the past, it can achieve a significantl...

Abstract

Provided is a display device capable of reducing power consumption without reducing the aperture ratio. The liquid crystal capacitive element (Clc) is formed between the pixel electrode 20 and the counter electrode (80). A counter voltage (Vcom) is applied to the counter electrode (80). The pixel electrode (20), one end of the first switch circuit (22), one end of the second switch circuit (23), and the first terminal of the second transistor (T2) form an internal node (N1). The other end of the first switch circuit (22) is connected to the source line (SL). The other end of the second switch circuit (23) is connected to the voltage supply line (VSL). The second switch circuit (23) includes a series circuit of a transistor (T1) and a transistor (T3). The second terminal of (T2) and one end of the boost capacitor element (Cbst) form an output node (N2). The other end of the boost capacitor (Csbt) is connected to the boost line (BST), the control terminal of the transistor (T2) is connected to the reference line (REF), and the control terminal of the transistor (T3) is connected to the select line (SEL).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a pixel circuit and a display device including the pixel circuit, and particularly to an active matrix display device. Background technique [0002] In portable terminals such as mobile phones and portable game machines, a liquid crystal display device is generally used as a display unit thereof. In addition, since mobile phones and the like are driven by batteries, reduction in power consumption is strongly demanded. Therefore, information that needs to be constantly displayed, such as the time and the remaining battery level, is displayed on the reflective sub-panel. In addition, recently, it has been demanded to use the same main panel for a normal display of a full-color display and a reflective type constant display. [0003] Figure 49 An equivalent circuit of a pixel circuit of a general active matrix liquid crystal display device is shown. in addition, Figure 50 A circuit configuration example of an active ...
