Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the invention disclosed in Patent Document 1, since the voltage of the common electrode is corrected during AC driving, the effective voltage is different when a positive voltage is applied to the pixel electrode and when a negative voltage is applied, so that flicker occurs.

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0039] figure 1 It is a block diagram showing the configuration of the electro-optical device 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Such as figure 1 As shown, the electro-optical device 1 is roughly divided into a display panel 10 and a processing circuit 50 . Among them, the circuit module that controls the operation of the display panel 10, that is, the processing circuit 50 includes a control circuit 52, a display data processing circuit 54, and a D / A conversion circuit 56, and is connected to the display panel by, for example, an FPC (flexible printed circuit) substrate. 10 connections. The electro-optical device 1 is an example of a liquid crystal device that displays images using liquid crystals.

[0040] The control circuit 52 generates various control signals for controlling the display panel 10 in synchronization with a synchronization signal Vsync supplied from an external high-level device (not shown). However, these control signals will be app...

Abstract

In writing performed at a start pulse DY1, the writing is performed with a positive-polarity voltage, and, in writing performed at a start pulse DY2, the writing is performed with a negative-polarity voltage. In writing performed at start pulses DYR1 and DYR2, the writing is performed with a voltage that turns pixels into black of minimum gradation. Since a period in which the positive-polarity voltage is retained is different from a period in which the negative-polarity voltage is retained, a direct-current component which is applied to a liquid crystal capacitor is cancelled, whereby the occurrence of burn-in is prevented.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a technique for preventing image sticking of a display image in an electro-optical device. Background technique [0002] In a liquid crystal display device, when a direct current component acts on a liquid crystal element, the charge balance is disturbed due to the polarization of the liquid crystal, and image sticking of a displayed image occurs. Therefore, in general, liquid crystal elements are AC-driven in liquid crystal display devices. However, since a DC component may be applied to the liquid crystal even when AC driving is performed, there is an invention disclosed in Patent Document 1 as an invention for preventing image sticking. In this invention, the voltage of the common electrode opposite to the pixel electrode is corrected according to the characteristics of the display device, so as to reduce the DC component acting on the liquid crystal, thereby suppressing the generation of afterimages. [0003] Pate...
