Abstract

In a liquid crystal display device, both of the brightness characteristic and the chromaticity characteristic are set to optimum values. In the liquid crystal display device which includes a liquid crystal display panel, a data driver, a scanning driver and a display control circuit, the display control circuit includes a first circuit which generates insertion display data which differs from the image display data and inserts the display data into the data driver, and a second circuit which sets a first time at which the scanning signal for displaying the display data and a second time at which the scanning signal for displaying the insertion display data are outputted. The first circuit generates display data of one chromatic color and, at the same time, sets gradations of chromatic color for every frame period.

Claims (13)

1 . A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a liquid crystal display panel in which a plurality of data signal lines and a plurality of scanning signal lines are arranged in a matrix array and which forms a region surrounded by two neighboring data signal lines and two neighboring scanning signal lines into one pixel region;

a data driver which outputs a display signal to the data signal lines;

a scanning driver which outputs a scanning signal to the scanning signal lines; and

a display control circuit which transmits a control signal for controlling outputting of the display signal of the data driver and the display signal to the data driver and, at the same time, a control signal which controls the outputting of the scanning signal of the scanning driver to the scanning driver, wherein

the display control circuit includes

a first circuit which divides image display data inputted from an external device for every 1 frame period and generates insertion display data which differs from the image display data in the image display data of each frame period and transmits the insertion display data to the data driver by insertion, and

a second circuit which sets a first time at which the scanning signal for displaying the display data is outputted to the respective scanning signal lines and a second time at which the scanning signal for displaying the insertion display data is outputted to the respective scanning signal lines, and

the first circuit generates display data of one chromatic color, and

the second circuit sets an interval between the first time and the second time for every frame period.

2 . A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuit which sets the interval between the first time and the second time sets the interval based on an average gradation of the image display data displayed in every frame period.

3 . A liquid crystal display device according to claim 2 , wherein the circuit which sets the interval between the first time and the second time is prolonged when the average gradation is high and shortens the interval when the average gradation is low.

4 . A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first circuit generates and inserts blue insertion display data between the image display data for every frame period.
