Abstract
The present invention discloses a cholesteric liquid crystal device and a driving method for partially updating an image thereof. The cholesteric liquid crystal device and the driving method partially update the color differences of a part of the pixels in the row circuit structure and maintain the color differences of the other pixels in the row circuit structure.
Claims13
A driving method for partially updating an image of a cholesteric liquid crystal device, comprising steps as follows:
- respectively generating row driving signals and column driving signals to M row circuit structures and N column circuit structures of a cholesteric liquid crystal panel by a liquid crystal driving unit;
- wherein each row driving signal comprises an addressing voltage signal and a non-addressing row voltage signal, each column driving signal comprises a gray scale voltage signal and a non-addressing column voltage signal, pixels are respectively formed at intersections of the row circuit structures and the column circuit structures, and the pixels comprise at least one pixel to be updated and at least one non-updating pixel;
- and
- when performing a non-full scan mode by the liquid crystal driving unit, outputting the addressing voltage signal and the gray scale voltage signal to the at least one pixel to be updated according to an update frequency and outputting a maintaining signal to the at least one non-updating pixel to maintain a color difference between the at least one non-updating pixel and the at least one pixel to be updated by the liquid crystal driving unit;
- wherein a voltage difference generated on the at least one pixel to be updated and between the addressing voltage signal and the gray scale voltage signal is greater than or equal to a pixel voltage state transition value.
