Panel type color display device and system for processing image information
First Claim
1. A color display comprising:
- a variable transmittance portion, the variable transmittance portion having a plurality of pixel elements, the variable transmittance portion having a characteristic amount of time in which it reaches a maximum level of transmittance upon application of a constant voltage;
a backlight source; and
a driving cirtuit for varying the transmittance of each pixel element of the variable transmittance portion in response to color image information, wherein the driving circuit drives each pixel element of the variable transmittance portion with a plurality of pulses, each of the plurality of pulses having a duration shorter than the characteristic duration of time in which the variable transmittance portion reaches the maximum level of transmittance upon application of a constant voltage.

Abstract
According to the panel type color display device of the present invention, the image information is converted into the serial data in which the color data of colors R, G, and B are sequentially switched within the video frame, and the image data for one screen are repetitively overwritten in the respective color frames of R, G, and B at the time period of the display frame, and the liquid crystal is intermiittently driven plural times. Thus, the high-speed response and the large responding quantity of the liquid crystal can be surely obtained comparing with the case of continuously driving the liquid crystal. As a result, the video with high contrast can be realized in respective short color frames, and the gradation difference can be expressed by regulating the number of repetitive overwriting.
