Actuating circuit for a liquid crystal display
First Claim
1. An actuation circuit for a liquid crystal display, comprising:
- a plurality of actuation lines arranged in columns and a plurality of selection lines arranged in rows intersecting the columns;
a matrix of pixel elements each being operatively connected at an intersection of the columns and rows of said actuation and selection lines, respectively, said columns of actuation lines being grouped in a number of separate blocks of actuation lines;
a plurality of column capacitors each coupled to a respective one of said actuation lines;
a plurality of data lines for receiving data signals and feeding the data signals in parallel to the actuation lines of a respective block of actuation lines;
a plurality of storage capacitor means each connected to an actuation line and coupled with a respective one of said data lines for intermediately storing data signals to be displayed;
first switch means coupled between said data lines and said plurality of storage capacitor means for successively switching data signals on said data lines to the respective storage capacitor means of one block of actuation lines and then to the respective storage capacitor means of a following block of actuation lines until all storage capacitor means are charged with data signals; and
second switch means coupled between the respective storage capacitor means and said column capacitors for charging all column capacitors simultaneously in parallel after all storage capacitor means of all blocks of actuation lines have been charged by data signals.

Abstract
An actuation circuit for a liquid crystal display includes a plurality of pixel elements constructed in the form of a matrix of columns and rows and a plurality of column capacitors connected to respective columns of the liquid crystal display that can be charged to store a signal to be displayed. The activation circuit comprises a number of blocks which each comprise a separate group of the columns forming the matrix of pixel elements, a corresponding number of column capacitors, and a plurality of data lines. The individual data lines receive respective signals and are connected to the column capacitors. A switch device is connected to each respective block for successively switching between the number of blocks. The signal to be displayed is fed in parallel through the data lines of the columns of a first block to charge respective column capacitors of the first block and after the charging of the column capacitors in the first block, the input lines are switched by the switch device to the data lines of the columns of the next-following block.
