Driving method for a liquid crystal panel
First Claim
1. A method for driving a liquid crystal display device for producing a tone pattern, said display device including a plurality of signal electrodes overlapping a plurality of scanning electrodes and a plurality of display dots arranged in a matrix of rows and columns in which each display dot corresponds to the overlapping of one of the plurality of signal electrodes with one of the plurality of scanning electrodes, said method including driving each display dot into a lit or non-lit display state during each frame of an at least two frame cycle based on a scanning waveform and signal waveform being applied to the associated scanning electrode and signal electrode, respectively, and further comprising the steps of:
- placing in the same display state all display dots producing the tone pattern which are associated with the same scanning electrode during one frame of the cycle; and
concurrently adjusting the scanning waveform applied to each scanning electrode during said one frame based on the tone pattern.

Abstract
A liquid crystal display device for producing a substantially uniform tone pattern by placing in the same display state all display dots producing the tone pattern which are associated with the same scanning electrode during each frame of a cycle. The method further includes adjusting the scanning waveform applied to each scanning electrode during each frame based on the tone pattern. Alternatively, the liquid crystal display device places all display dots which produce the tone pattern in the lit state for the same duration of time during the cycle and concurrently adjusts the scanning waveform applied to each scanning electrode during the cycle based on the tone pattern. Different groups of display dots which produce the tone pattern are placed in the non-lit display state at different portions of the cycle. Voltage disturbances giving rise to spikes and rounding of the voltage pulses occuring on the scanning and signal electrodes are substantially eliminated.
