Color Liquid Crystal Display Device and Image Display Thereof
First Claim
1. A display device for displaying a color image comprising:
- a display panel comprising a plurality of pixels located in a matrix, where each of the plurality of pixels has a switching element;
a pointing device for pointing to identify a first portion in a color selecting portion on the display panel so as to select a color and for pointing to identify a second portion on the display panel after selecting the color on the display panel so as to select a locus for the selected color;
a coordinate detector for outputting a first data derived from X-coordinate data and Y-coordinate data corresponding to the identified first portion and second data derived from X-coordinate data and Y-coordinate data corresponding to the identified second portion;
a color designator for setting, using the first data, color data corresponding to the selected color;
a memory device including storage regions for storing the color data;
a memory controller for generating an address corresponding to the second data, the address identifying the second portion on the display panel where the color is to be output; and
an output controller for outputting video data to the display panel, wherein the video data is generated by using the color data and the address.

Abstract
There is disclosed a color liquid crystal display (LCD) device capable of displaying color images in response to direct entry of input data and/or instructions through operation of an associated coordinate pointing tool. Typically, this tool is a pen-like input device known as the “input pen” for use in determining the individual position for color display on the screen of a built-in LCD panel. A coordinate detector operates to recognize the position as designated by the input pen, generating and issuing an output signal indicative of the corresponding coordinate data. A color designator circuit designates a color as presently selected for color display. A memory device stores therein color data representative of the color designated. A memory controller is responsive to receipt of an address issued from the selected coordinate data for controlling the color data to be written into and read out of the memory. An output controller allows the color data read from the memory to be supplied to the LCD display screen as video data.
