Liquid crystal display for laser marker
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display device for a laser marker in which, when changing display of a liquid crystal display screen provided with row and column electrodes for each of pixels, shifting is effected to a display period in which a predetermined effective voltage potential value is applied respectively to the row electrodes and the column electrodes after passage of a non-display period in which voltage potentials of the row and column electrodes are made identical, wherein the liquid crystal display device comprises:
- a controller which outputs a voltage potential command value to the liquid crystal in such a manner that, an effective voltage potential value greater than the predetermined effective voltage potential value is applied to the row and column electrodes for a predetermined time of an initial stage of the display period in which a transparent rate of display pixels reaches a predetermined voltage potential value and a transparent rate of non-display pixels does not reach the predetermined voltage potential value, and the predetermined effective voltage potential value is applied to the row and column electrodes from a time point when the predetermined time elapsed until a time point when the display period ends.

Abstract
A liquid crystal display for a laser marker for attaining a higher marking speed, characterized in that a liquid crystal display screen (10) is divided into a first zone (10a) where a sub-scanning is first performed and a second zone (10b) where a sub-scanning is performed following the first zone (10a) sub-scanning, that switching of display is performed independently for each of the first and second zones (10a, 10b), and predetermined voltages are applied, respectively, to row and column electrodes after those row and column electrodes are grounded, whereby display switching processing can be performed independently for each of the first and second zones. Completion of the sub-scanning of the first zone (10a) is detected by a position detecting means, and when such a detection is done, switching of display in the first zone (10a) is independently performed. In addition, when the position detecting means detects the completion of sub-scanning of the second zone (10b), switching of display in the second zone (10b) is performed independently.
