Liquid crystal display device

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To obtain a display panel for liquid crystal video having a high picture element density by shifting picture elements without increasing the number of lines of timing electrodes which determines the picture element density in the vertical direction conventionally and sending display information corresponding to shifted picture element positions to picture elements. CONSTITUTION:The Y coordinate of the centroid of a picture element G22 is an average value of Y coordinates of picture elements G11 and G31. Consequently, since picture elements on data lines X2 and X4 and those on data lines X1, X3, and X5 are shifted from each other by a half pitch with respect to Y coordinate, the number of picture element lines is increased twice equivalently when this panel is seen from far, and the picture element density in the vertical direction is improved. The first horizontal scanning line of a television can be displayed on picture elements G11, G13, and G15, and the second horizontal scanning line can be displayed on picture elements G22, G24.... Since picture elements G11 and G22 are on the same timing signal Y1, the time of reception of transmitted display information is different between picture elements G11 and G22, and a storage circuit element holds information for the time of the difference from driving timing of liquid crystal picture elements.
