    [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0001]
    [0002] The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display comprising a liquid crystal display controller which controls switching of a liquid crystal screen between normally white and normally black. [0002]
    [0003] 2. Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and 37 CFR 1.98 [0003]
    [0004] Conventionally, normally white liquid crystal screens (hereinafter, also referred to as “NW”) have been used for many portable devices such as a laptop type personal computers. The majority of normally white liquid crystals are twist nematic (TN) liquid crystals which have the problem that their angle of visibility is narrow. In the normally white mode, when a linearly polarized light axis of a first polarizing plate and a linearly polarized light axis of a second polarizing plate cross each other at right angles, and wherein light is transmitted into the liquid crystal display cell through the first and second plates, a voltage is applied to the liquid crystal display cell, and the light is blocked. [0004]
    [0005] FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing a liquid crystal display having a normally white liquid crystal panel. In FIG. 6, input data (digital image input signal) is input into a controller for NW [0005] 12, voltage luminance (VT) of the input data is controlled by a data processor, and the input data controlled is input into a liquid crystal driver for NW 22. The liquid crystal driver for NW 22 is fed by a gradation power source 32 and displays images on a liquid crystal panel for NW 42 depending on the input data.
    [0006] On the other hand, a normally black liquid crystal screen (hereinafter, also referred to as “NB”) have been used for monitors. Particularly, when the screen size is 16 inches or more, the dependency of the angle of visibility increases, therefore, a wide angle of visibility is desired. The majority of normally black liquid crystals are transverse electric field liquid crystals. The problems posed by TN liquid crystals such as a narrow angle of visibility, are solved by adopting a transverse electric field driving type of the liquid crystal cell. However, transverse electric field liquid crystals are manufactured by a more complex process than the manufacturing process for TN liquid crystals, so that the manufacturing costs increase. When a wide angle of visibility is not required, therefore, TN liquid crystals have been used. In the normally black mode, when the linearly polarized light axis of the first polarizing plate and the linearly polarized light axis of the second polarizing plate overlap, a voltage is applied to the liquid crystal display cell, and light is transmitted. [0006]
    [0007] FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing a liquid crystal display having a normally black liquid crystal panel. In FIG. 7, an input data is input to a controller for NB [0007] 14, the VT of the input data is controlled by the data processor, and the input data is input to a liquid crystal driver for NB 24. The liquid crystal driver for NB 24 is fed by the gradation power source 34 for the transverse electric field liquid crystal and displays images on an NB liquid crystal panel 44 depending on the input data. The digital image signal input to the NW liquid crystal panel 42 is exactly the opposite of the digital image signal input to the NB liquid crystal panel 44 in polarity. When the controller for NW 12 is combined with an inverter, the controller for NW 12 can function as the controller for NB 14. Furthermore, since TN liquid crystals have a narrow angle of visibility and are not suitable for large screens, TN liquid crystals or transverse electric field liquid crystals are chosen according to the size of the screen panel.
    [0008] Recent TN liquid crystals have relatively wide angles of visibility by using the optical properties of a sheet for adhering the panels to each other. As a result, the TN liquid crystal can be chosen even if the size of the screen panel is about 18 inch and users can choose either normally white or normally black. However, if controllers for both NW and for NB are provided in a liquid crystal display, the problem that mass production is difficult for the manufacturer arises. [0008]
    [0009] If an NB liquid crystal panel is controlled using the NW controller for NW liquid crystal panel, an arithmetic unit such as an inverter needs to be provided in the NW controller as an NB controller (see Japanese Examined Patent Application, Second Publication, No. Hei 7-46267). As a result, two controllers, one for an NW liquid crystal panel and another for an NB liquid crystal panel, are required, therefore, there is the problem that mass production cannot be carried out. [0009] BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
    [0010] An object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal display controller which controls the normally white mode and the normally black mode for a liquid crystal panel according to the user's choice between both modes in the liquid crystal panel. [0010]
    [0011] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the liquid crystal display controller of the present invention into which a digital image input signal is input and data-processed and which outputs the digital image input signal to a liquid crystal driver [0011] 20 for driving normally white or normally black liquid crystal panel 40, comprises; an inverter 11 inverting the digital image input signal, a selector 13 choosing and outputting the signal inverted by the inverter 11 and the digital image input signal depending on a switching signal, a data processor 15 controlling the voltage luminance of the signal transmitted from the selector 13 and transmitting the signal to the liquid crystal driver 20.
    [0012] In the above-mentioned display, when the liquid crystal panel [0012] 40 is normally white, the switching signal makes the selector 13 choose the digital image input signal because the digital image input signal may be simply input to the data processor 15. On the other hand, when the liquid crystal panel is normally black, the switching signal makes the selector 13 choose the output signal from the inverter 11 because the digital image input signal may be logically reversed and input to the data processor 15.
    [0013] The switching signal may show whether the liquid crystal panel is normally white or normally black. The signal showing whether the liquid crystal panel is normally white or normally black can be regarded as the switching signal. [0013]
    [0014] Furthermore, the switching signal may show whether the liquid crystal panel is a TN liquid crystal panel or a transverse electric field liquid crystal panel. In ordinary conditions for using the panels, TN liquid crystal panels are used as normally white and transverse electric field liquid crystal panels are used as normally black. [0014]
    [0015] Furthermore, the switching signal may show whether a gradation power source provided depending on the type of the liquid crystal panel is provided for a TN liquid crystal panel or for a transverse electric field liquid crystal panel. The type of the liquid crystal panel to be controlled can be determined by the gradation power source. [0015]
    [0016] Furthermore, the data processor may generate a drive signal for a vertical driver and a drive signal for a horizontal driver to be transmitted to the liquid crystal driver when the digital image input signal comprises a pixel signal for RGB and scanning line information. According to this construction, a general liquid crystal driver can be used. [0016]
    [0017] Furthermore, a liquid crystal display of the present invention comprises; a liquid crystal panel [0017] 40 being either normally white or normally black, a gradation power source 30 supplying voltage depending on the liquid crystal panel 40, a liquid crystal display controller 10 comprising an inverter 11 inverting a digital image input signal, a selector 13 choosing and outputting the signal inverted in the inverter and the digital image input signal depending on a switching signal, a data processor 15 processing data for showing the signal transmitted from the selector on the liquid crystal panel, and a liquid crystal driver 20 transmitting the digital image input signal data-processed in the liquid crystal display controller to the liquid crystal panel using electric power supplied by the gradation power source.
    [0018] In the above-mentioned liquid crystal display, while the gradation power source [0018] 30 is prepared depending on the type of the liquid crystal panel 40, the liquid crystal display controller 10 and liquid crystal driver 20 can be used with no dependence on the type of liquid crystal panel 40. Therefore, mass production can be performed when assembling the display. In the liquid crystal display controller 10, the logic of the digital image input signal is switched depending on the switching signal, so that normally white or normally black can be chosen.
    [0019] According to the liquid crystal display controller of the present invention, in the liquid crystal display wherein the liquid crystal panel can be chosen from the TN liquid crystal and the transverse electric field liquid crystal and normally white and normally black can be switched, the liquid crystal display controller and liquid crystal driver can be used with no dependence on the type of the liquid crystal panel and, therefore, mass production can be performed when assembling the display. In the liquid crystal display controller, since the logic of the digital image input signal is switched depending on the switching signal, it is possible to switch between normally white and normally black. Furthermore, in maintenance work, only one type of liquid crystal display controller can control normally white or normally black, therefore, the number of parts for maintenance work decreases and the cost also decreases.

    [0027] An embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the figures as follows. [0027]
    [0028] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. The liquid crystal display controller [0028] 10 comprises an inverter 11 inverting the digital image input signal, a selector 13 choosing and outputting the signal inverted in the inverter 11 and the digital image input signal depending on a switching signal, and a data processor 15 data-processing the signal transmitted from the selector 13 to be displayed on the liquid crystal panel 40. In the selector 13, the digital image input signal is input to an input terminal 0, the output signal from the inverter 11 is input to an input terminal 1, the switching signal is input to a control input terminal S, and the digital image input signal depending on the switching signal or the output signal from the inverter 11 is transmitted from an output terminal Y to the data processor 15.
    [0029] The liquid crystal driver [0029] 20 is a circuit transmitting a drive signal for showing image information on the liquid crystal panel 40. The liquid crystal driver 20 can be used for either normally white (TN liquid crystal panel) or normally black (transverse electric field liquid crystal panel) liquid crystal panels 40. Of course, according to the liquid crystal panel 40 which is either a TN liquid crystal panel or a transverse electric field liquid crystal panel, the liquid crystal driver 20 may be provided for the types of the liquid crystal panel so as to optimize the sharpness and visibility of images. The gradation power source 30 is chosen depending on the liquid crystal panel 40 which is either a TN liquid crystal panel or transverse electric field liquid crystal panel. The gradation power source 30 generates a voltage for driving the panel depending on the type of liquid crystal panel.
    [0030] In the above-mentioned display, there are several types of switching signals which are listed as follows. [0030]
    [0031] (1) A type in which the switching signal makes the liquid crystal panel display in either normally white or normally black. For example, a user can switch the screen between normally white and normally black with no dependence on the type of the liquid crystal panel which is either a TN liquid crystal panel or a transverse electric field liquid crystal panel. [0031]
    [0032] (2) A type in which the switching signal makes the liquid crystal panel display whether it is a TN liquid crystal panel or a transverse electric field liquid crystal panel. For example, in the liquid crystal panel, a liquid crystal panel identification terminal may be provided. The liquid crystal panel identification terminal outputs either H or L, depending on the type of liquid crystal panel. [0032]
    [0033] (3) A type in which the switching signal identifies whether the gradation power source is provided for the TN liquid crystal panel or for the transverse electric field liquid crystal panel. [0033]
    [0034] (4) A type in which the switching signal is transmitted from a DIP (dual in-line package) switch provided in the liquid crystal display or from an external μ-processor. [0034]
    [0035] FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the function of an LSI performing as a data processor. The LSI performing as the data processor [0035] 15 in FIG. 1 comprises a core data processor 16, a signal generation part for driving a vertical driver 17, a signal generation part for driving a horizontal driver 18, a dot inversion signal generation part 19, and an aging mode detecting circuit 21. The core data processor 16 performs input data inversion, data list conversion, and serial-parallel conversion. A signal generation part for driving a vertical driver 17 and a signal generation part for driving a horizontal driver 18 generate the vertical signal of the scanning line shown on the liquid crystal panel 40 and the horizontal signal of the scanning line shown on the liquid crystal panel 40, respectively. The dot inversion signal generation part 19 controls the dot inversion of the liquid crystal cell. To prevent burn-in of the liquid crystal cell due to its always being supplied a specific DC voltage, a positive electric potential and a negative electric potential (not a constant electric potential) are alternately applied to the liquid crystal cell. The aging mode detecting circuit 21 detects whether the liquid crystal panel 40 is in an aging mode, to prevent early failure of the liquid crystal panel 40, or in an ordinary display mode.
    [0036] FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing arrangements of a parallel driver; FIG. 3A shows a two sided arrangement and FIG. 3B shows a one sided arrangement. The parallel driver [0036] 26 is one of the liquid crystal drivers 20. In the two sided arrangement, the parallel drivers 26 are provided at both sides of the liquid crystal panel 40. In the one sided arrangement, the parallel driver 26 is provided at one side of the liquid crystal panel 40. The parallel driver 26 is a single port driver or a multi port driver and RGB serial image data is input to the parallel driver 26 to display a desired image on the liquid crystal panel 40.
    [0037] FIG. 4 is a diagram explaining the serial-parallel conversion. Data into the core data processor [0037] 16 is shown as a serial data array; for the three primary colors RGB (red, green, and blue), serial data array are arranged in the direction of increasing time as follows: R1, R2, R3, . . . ; G1, G2, G3 . . . ; B1, B2, B3, . . . . In a video signal, odd numbered and even numbered of scanning lines are alternately shown, so that the output data converted by the serial-parallel conversion is arranged as follows: R1, R3, R5 . . . , G1, G3, G5, . . . ; B1, B3, B5, . . . ; R2, R4, R6, . . . ; G2, G4, G6, . . . ; B2, B4, B6,
    [0038] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the relationship between the pixel arrangement and the driver connection. In the two sided arrangement, the liquid crystal panel [0038] 40 comprises an upper side horizontal driver 26 a and a lower side horizontal driver 26 b. According to the sequencing of the data by the data processor 16 in a narrow sense, the data is arranged as R1, B1, G2, R3, B3, G4, . . . , R639, B6369, G640 at the upper side horizontal driver 26 a for horizontal scanning of the scanning line. On the lower side horizontal driver 26 b, the data is arranged G1, R2, B2, G3, R4, B4, . . . , G639, R640, B640 for horizontal scanning of the scanning line. Therefore, high speed display is performed on the liquid crystal panel 40.
    [0039] In the above-mentioned embodiment, a case the inverter and the selector are provided at the input side of the data processor, however, the inverter and the selector may be provided at the output side of the data processor though the image quality is somewhat degraded. A VT control is performed on the data processor. Since this VT control is a non-linear conversion, after the digital image input signal is inverted after the VT control, a second VT control operation will be difficult to perform. Therefore, before the non-linear conversion of the image is performed by the data processor, normally white should be switched to normally black and vice-versa, so as not to affect the VT control.
