Abstract
Abstract A liquid crystal display has a plurality of display pixels arranged in a matrix and a plurality of signal and scan (X1-Xm, Y1-Ym) orthogonally crossing one another and connected to the display pixels. Each of the display pixels includes a liquid crystal dot (311-3nm), a switching element (411-4nm) and a color filter to which at least one of color signals R, G and B is supplied. A method of driving the liquid crystal display comprises the step of inverting polarities of the signal lines for every scan in line-sequentially scanning the display pixels, and shifting the phase of polarity inversion of each of the signal lines to which the color signals R, G and B are supplied.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
A method of driving a liquid crystal display having a plurality of display pixels arranged in a matrix and a plurality of signal and scan lines orthogonally crossing one another and connected to the display pixels, each of the display pixels including a liquid crystal dot, a switching element and a color filter to which at least one of color signals R, G and B is supplied, the method comprising the step of: inverting polarities of the signal lines for every scan in line-sequentially scanning the display pixels, and shifting the phase of polarity inversion of each of the signal lines to which the color signals R, G and B are supplied.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
112 words
A method of driving a liquid crystal display having a plurality of display pixels arranged in a matrix and a plurality of signal and scan lines orthogonally crossing one another and connected to the display pixels, each of the display pixels including a liquid crystal dot, a switching element and a color filter to which at least one of color signals R, G and B is supplied, the method comprising the step of: inverting polarities of the signal lines for every scan in line-sequentially scanning the display pixels, and shifting the phase of polarity inversion of each of the signal lines to which the color signals R, G and B are supplied.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
105 words
A method of driving a liquid crystal display having a plurality of display pixels arranged in a matrix and a plurality of signal and scan lines orthogonally crossing one another and connected to the display pixels, each of the display pixels including a liquid crystal dot, a switching element and a color filter to which at least one of color signals R, G and B is supplied, the method comprising the step of: changing a polarity of one of the color signals R, G and B from the polarity of the remaining two color signals, and inverting the polarities of the color signals between frames.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
105 words
A method of driving a liquid crystal display having a plurality of display pixels arranged in a matrix and a plurality of signal and scan lines orthogonally crossing one another and connected to the display pixels, each of the display pixels including a liquid crystal dot, a switching element and a color filter to which at least one of color signals R, G and B is supplied, the method comprising the step of: changing a polarity of one of the color signals R, G and B from the polarity of the remaining two color signals, and inverting the polarities of the color signals between frames.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
113 words
A method of driving a liquid crystal display having a plurality of display pixels arranged in a matrix and a plurality of signal and scan lines orthogonally crossing one another and connected to the display pixels, each of the display pixels including a liquid crystal dot, a switching element and a color filter to which at least one of color signals R, G and B is supplied, the color filters being shifted by 1/2 pitches in adjacent rows in the matrix, the method comprising the step of: changing phases and cycles of polarity inversion of the color signals R, G and B for the respective signal lines in line-sequentially scanning the display pixels.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
113 words
A method of driving a liquid crystal display having a plurality of display pixels arranged in a matrix and a plurality of signal and scan lines orthogonally crossing one another and connected to the display pixels, each of the display pixels including a liquid crystal dot, a switching element and a color filter to which at least one of color signals R, G and B is supplied, the color filters being shifted by 1/2 pitches in adjacent rows in the matrix, the method comprising the step of: changing phases and cycles of polarity inversion of the color signals R, G and B for the respective signal lines in line-sequentially scanning the display pixels.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
136 words
A method of driving a liquid crystal display having a plurality of display pixels arranged in a matrix and a plurality of signal and scan lines orthogonally crossing one another and connected to the display pixels, each of the display pixels including a liquid crystal dot, a switching element and a color filter to which at least one of color signals R, G and B is supplied, the color filters being shifted by 1/2 pitches in adjacent rows to form a delta with each three of the color filters, the method comprising the step of: inverting polarities of the signal lines for every scan, and shifting phases of polarity inversion of the color signals R, G and B for the respective signal lines, thereby equalizing intensities of the display pixels in each delta in a frame.
