Abstract

Abstract A display system includes a display panel provided with matrix electrodes composed of scanning lines and information lines, a first unit for transferring scanning line address information and image information corresponding to the writing into pixels of a scanning line, a second unit for delaying the transfer of the received image information and then latching the image information of a scanning line, and a third unit for designating a scanning line based on the received scanning line address information and storing the designation information of the designated scanning line. A fourth unit controls the second and third units so as to, when third unit designates a scanning line based on the received scanning line address information, synchronize the selective drive of the scanning line designated by the immediately preceding stored information for designating the scanning line with the drive of the information lines based on the image information latched by the second means, and selectively drives the scanning line designated according to the scanning line address information within the period of the synchronization.

A display system, comprising: a display panel comprising matrix electrodes composed of scanning lines and information lines; first means for transferring scanning line address information and image information corresponding to the writing into pixels of a scanning line; second means for delaying the transfer of the received image information and then latching the image information of a scanning line; third means for decoding (N+1)th scanning address information received, outputting the encoded (N+1)th scanning address information as an encoded (N+1)th address signal to a scanning signal generation circuit, applying a (N+1)th first scanning selection signal by which an erase operation of pixels on a scanning line is performed from the scanning signal generation circuit to the scanning line designated in response to said (N+1)th address signal, storing said decoded (N+1)th first signal in a memory, outputting to the scanning signal generation circuit an encoded Nth address signal corresponding to Nth received scanning address information previously stored in said memory, and applying an Nth second scanning selection signal by which a writing operation on a scanning line is performed from the scanning signal generation circuit to the scanning line designated in response to said Nth address signal, with the Nth second scanning selection signal being formed by a voltage wave from different from the first scanning selection signal; and fourth means for disenabling an address signal designating selection of a scanning line to which the first selection signal is applied when a designation number of the scanning line designated in accordance with said scanning address information reaches a predetermined number.

Claim 39
Dependent Claim 15 words
A display system according to claim 26, wherein said display panel comprises ferroelectric liquid crystal.
