6. Module Driving Method
6-l. Circuit configuration
Fig.10 shows the block diagram of the module’s circuitry.
6-2. Display face configuration
The display consists of 640 X 3(R,G,B) X 480 dots as shown in Fig. 2..
The interface is single panel with double drive to be driven at 1/244duty ratio.
6-3. Input data and control signal
The LCD driver is 240 bits LSI, consisting of shift regisrers, latch circuits and LCD driver circuits. Input data
for each row 640 X 3 (R,G,B) will be sequentially transferred in the form of 8 bit parallel data through
shift registers from top left of the display together with clock signal (XCK).
When input of one row 640 X 3 (R,G,B) is completed, the data will be latched in the form of parallel
data corresponding to the signal electrodes by the falling edge of latch signal (LP) then, the corresponding
drive signals will be transmitted to the 640 X 3 lines of column electrodes of the LCD panel by the LCD
drive circuits.
At this time, scan start-up signal (I’D) has been transferred from the scan signal driver to the 1st TOWof scan
electrodes, and the contents of the data signals are displayed on the 1st row of the display face according to
the combinations of voltages applied to the scan and signal electrodes of the LCD. While the data of 1st row
are being displayed, the data of 2nd row arc cntercd. When data for 640 X 3 dots have beon transferred, they
will be latched by the falling edge of LP, switching the display to the 2nd row.
Such data input will be repeated up to the 244th row of each display segment, from upper row to lower
rows. to complete one frame of display by time sharing method.
Simultaneously the same scanning sequence occur at the lower panel.
Then data input proceeds to the next display frame.
YD generates scan signal to drive horizontal electrodes.
Since DC voltage. if applied to LCD panel, causes chemical reaction in LC materials, causing deterioration of
the materials, drive wave-form shall be inverted at ewry display frame to prevent the generation of such DC
voltage.
Control signal ,M plays such a role.
Because of the characteristics of the CMOS driver LSI. the power consumption of the display module goes up
with the clock frequency of XCK.
To minimize data transfer speed of XCK clock the LSI has the system of transferring 8 bit parallel data
through the 8 lines of shift registers.
Thanks to this system the power consumption of the display module is minimized.
In this circuit configuration, 8 bit display data shall input to data input pins of DUO-7 and DLO-7.
Furthermore, the display module has bus linr system for data input to minimizc the power consumption with
data input terminals of each driver LSI being activated only when relevant data input is fed.
