A liquid crystal display apparatus including a glass substrate having a liquid display part formed thereon and a plurality of flexible boards connected to a periphery of the glass substrate. The apparatus also includes a liquid crystal drive IC mounted on each of the flexible boards so as to generate liquid crystal drive signals based on input signals. Additionally, the glass substrate has first internal lines and second internal lines. The first internal lines supply the input signals supplied from a first one of the flexible boards to a second one of the flexible boards, and the second internal lines return the input signals supplied from the first one of the flexible boards back to the first one of the flexible boards without any change.

Liquid crystal display apparatus and reduction of electromagnetic interference

Polarity patterns (polarity pattern signal POL) are stored in a ROM in a polarity pattern controlling portion. Then, the polarity pattern is changed according to applications of a liquid crystal display panel. Since the polarity pattern is stored in the ROM, the polarity pattern can be changed without modification of a hardware. Also, two sets of polarity patterns or more are stored in the ROM, and then any one polarity pattern can be output according to the application. In addition, the polarity pattern signal POL and image signals RGB are compared with each other, and then the polarity pattern which is to be read from the ROM is switched according to the result.

Display panel driving method, display panel driver circuit, and liquid crystal display device

A drive circuit device for a display device which drives a plurality of source bus lines provided on a display panel includes a driver unit that receives a clock signal, a data signal and a control signal, sequentially fetches the data signal, and generates drive signals for the source bus lines in accordance to the fetched data signal. The device further includes a gate unit that, after elapse of specified time from the reception of the driver unit, and at a timing when a rear-stage drive circuit device starts receiving, starts outputting of a propagation signal including at least one of the clock signal, data signal and control signal to the rear-stage drive circuit device. Consequently, the power consumption required for supplying these signals and the generated amount of electromagnetic waves resulting from the signal supply can be suppressed.

A drive circuit for a display device including a display panel for displaying an image line by line has a data register. The data register is used to store optional data in response to a control signal, to overwrite the stored optional data with display data, and to prepare display data for a given line of the display panel. The data prepared in the data register is transferred to the display panel to display the given line of the display panel. The drive circuit is capable of supplementing display data if the display data is improper for the display, thereby securing the quality of the displayed images.
