Patent ID: 7209106

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) device, comprising: a gray signal modulator for receiving gray signals of the input image data, and for outputting modified gray signals by considering the current and the preceding field image data, and by considering the character of input image data; said gray signal modulator further comprising: an input terminal for receiving the gray signals of input image data; a frame memory for storing the preceding field image data of the input gray signals; a controller for controlling the frame memory and the reading and writing processes thereof; a signal preprocessor for processing the gray signal from the input terminal or detecting the character thereof; the signal preprocessor considering the differences between the current and preceding field image data for providing the gray signal data converter to select a suitable converting scheme to reduce the noise induced from the input gray signals, and having further function to cover compensation if the video systems, frame rates, images with different signal-to-noice ratios or interfaces are varied; a gray signal data converter for outputting the modified gray signals by considering the gray signals of the preceding field image data transmitted from the frame memory and the outputs from the signal preprocessor, and an output terminal for transmitting the modified gray signal to the data driver; a data driver for converting the modified gray signals into the corresponding data voltages for driving the liquid crystal molecules in each to produce image signal; a gate driver for continuously supplying the scanning signals, and a liquid crystal display panel, comprising a plurality of gate lines for transmitting said scanning signals, a plurality of data lines being insulated from and crossing the gate lines for transmitting image signals, and an array of pixels forming by the areas surrounded by the said gate lines and said data lines.
