Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to improving image quality and detection accuracy in image capture of liquid crystal display devices. The invention achieves this by increasing the frequency of input of image signals and securing a sufficient imaging period. This reduces the frequency of input of image signals and suppresses display deterioration, such as color break, which improves image quality and detection accuracy. The invention allows image signals to be concurrently supplied to pixels provided in a plurality of rows among pixels arranged in matrix, and image capture can be concurrently performed in pixels provided in a plurality of rows among pixels arranged in matrix.

Problems solved by technology

However, it is not easy to improve the characteristics of the elements.
Moreover, shortening an imaging period may cause a reduction in detection accuracy in image capture.
However, display deterioration such as color break becomes obvious in that case, which is a problem.

Abstract

In a field-sequential liquid crystal display device, image quality and detection accuracy in image capture are improved by increasing the frequency of input of image signals and securing a sufficient imaging period. Image signals are concurrently supplied to pixels provided in a plurality of rows among pixels arranged in matrix. Further, image capture is concurrently performed in pixels provided in a plurality of rows among pixels arranged in matrix. Thus, the frequency of input of an image signal to each pixel of the liquid crystal display device can be increased and a sufficient imaging period can be secured. As a result, in the liquid crystal display device, display deterioration such as color break which is caused in a field-sequential liquid crystal display device can be suppressed and improvements in image quality and detection accuracy in image capture can be realized.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to methods for driving liquid crystal display devices. In particular, the present invention relates to a field sequential liquid crystal display device capable of image capture by measure of the amount of light which is used for displaying images and reflected by an object to be read.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]As display methods of liquid crystal display devices, a color filter method and a field sequential method are known. In a color-filter liquid crystal display device, a plurality of subpixels which have color filters for transmitting only light with wavelengths of given colors (e.g., red (R), green (G), and blue (B)) are provided in each pixel. A desired color is expressed by control of transmission of white light in each subpixel and mixture of a plurality of colors in each pixel. In contrast, in a field-sequential liquid crystal display device, a plurality of light ...
