Patent ID: 8188964

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a display control circuit comprising: a signal driver which drives a plurality of liquid crystal pixels arranged in substantially a matrix form, each of the liquid crystal pixels having liquid crystal held between a pixel electrode and a common electrode; a scan driver which drives a plurality of scanning lines arranged along the rows of liquid crystal pixels; a power supply circuit which outputs a logic-system power source voltage and an analog-system power source voltage; and a controller which controls the signal driver, the scan driver, and the power supply circuit; and a liquid crystal display panel which includes: a plurality of signal lines arranged along the columns of liquid crystal pixels; and a plurality of pixel switching elements arranged near intersections between the scanning lines and the signal lines, each of the pixel switching elements being driven via a corresponding scanning line to set the potential of a corresponding signal line to the pixel electrode of a corresponding liquid crystal pixel, wherein the controller is configured to: control the scan driver to drive all of the scanning lines to simultaneously turn on the pixel switching elements during a transition time of within 10 ms in response to off-operation of a power source switch, provide a discharge path for the pixel electrode, control the power supply circuit first to set the analog-system power source voltage to zero after the transition time has elapsed and then set the logic-system power source voltage to zero, and turn off a power source.
