Driving apparatus
First Claim
1. A method for driving a matrix of a liquid crystal panel having matrix electrodes constituted by scanning electrodes and information electrodes arranged to cross the scanning electrodes, and a liquid crystal arranged in a space between the scanning electrodes and the information electrodes and having a switching speed varying according to an external temperature, said method comprising the steps of:
- applying a scanning selection signal to the scanning electrodes with a skipping of two or more scanning electrodes during a single vertical scanning period; and
applying an information signal to the information electrodes synchronously with the scanning selection signal,wherein;
the applying of the scanning selection signal to the scanning electrodes is performed so that a time for applying the scanning selection signal to a selected scanning electrode is made shorter as the external temperature increases, and, simultaneously, the number of skipping of the scanning selection signal during a single vertical scanning period decreases; and
the applying of the scanning selection signal to the scanning electrodes is performed so that a time for applying the scanning selection signal to the selected scanning electrode is made longer as the external temperature decreases, and, simultaneously, the number of skipping of the scanning selection signal during the single vertical scanning period increases.
