Abstract
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a liquid crystal display driver for driving liquid crystal display electrodes, comprises: a voltage signal generator adapted to provide a predetermined voltage signal to the liquid crystal display electrodes, the voltage signal generator being further adapted to be activated when the voltage signal level of said electrodes is outside a predetermined dead zone region, the voltage signal generator being deactivated when the voltage signal level of the electrodes is substantially within the predetermined dead zone region; and a switch adapted to couple the voltage signal generator to at least one of said liquid crystal display electrodes. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a method for providing voltage signals to electrodes of a liquid crystal display, comprising the steps of activating a first voltage signal generator to provide a voltage signal for the electrodes when the voltage signal level of the ectrodes falls outside a dead zone region; and deactivating the first voltage signal generator when the voltage signal level of the electrodes falls within the dead zone region.
