Abstract
A driver includes a first terminal, a second terminal, a control circuit, a first drive circuit, and a second drive circuit. The control circuit outputs a first pulse width signal group and a second pulse width signal group. The first drive circuit outputs a first segment drive signal to the first terminal based on a pulse width signal selected according to grayscale data. The second drive circuit outputs a second segment drive signal to the second terminal based on the pulse width signal selected according to the grayscale data. The first terminal is coupled to a first segment electrode and the second terminal is coupled to a second segment electrode.
Claims8
A driver driving a liquid crystal panel of a static drive system, comprising:
- a first terminal coupled to a first segment electrode of the liquid crystal panel by a first wire;
- a second terminal coupled to a second segment electrode of the liquid crystal panel by a second wire having a wire length or a wire width different from that of the first wire;
- a control circuit outputting a first pulse width signal group containing a plurality of pulse width signals corresponding to a plurality of grayscale levels and a second pulse width signal group containing the plurality of pulse width signals corresponding to the plurality of grayscale levels, in which correlations between the grayscale levels and pulse widths are different from those of the first pulse width signal group;
- a first drive circuit outputting a first segment drive signal to the first terminal based on a pulse width signal selected from the first pulse width signal group according to grayscale data;
- and
- a second drive circuit outputting a second segment drive signal to the second terminal based on the pulse width signal selected from the second pulse width signal group according to the grayscale data.
