Introduction  Electro-optic response of LCDs  Line by line addressing  Frame modulation  Pulse width modulation  Amplitude modulation  Row pulse height modulation  Successive approximation  Conclusion

Electro-optic response of LCDs

Matrix Displays

Line by line addressing Alt P M and Pleshko P, IEEE Trans. ED-21, pp , (1974)

Line by line addressing  Maximum selection ratio  Ensures high contrast

Line by line addressing H Kawakami, et.al., BIENNIAL Display Conference, pp 50-53, (1976).

Hardware complexity  A matrix display with N rows and M columns needs (N+M) drivers  Typical driver consists of shift register to accept serial data, latch to hold the data during row select time and multiplexer to apply a voltage corresponding to the data  Hardware complexity increases with number of voltage levels in the row and column waveforms

Schematic of a typical LCD driver

Frame modulation Y Suzuki et.al., SID 83 Digest, pp 32-33, (1983).

Frame modulation  Simple technique  Low hardware complexity  Flicker- a few gray shades  Not useful for TV displays  Popular with STN

Pulse width modulation H Kawakami et.al., SID 80 Digest, pp28-29, (1980).

Pulse width modulation  (w+1) gray shades with w duty cycles.  Limited number of gray shades  Poor brightness uniformity for large number of gray shades

Amplitude modulation Two time intervals T N Ruckmongathan, Japan Display’92, pp 77-80, (1992)

Amplitude modulation

A R Conner and T J Scheffer, Japan Display’92, pp , (1992).

Amplitude modulation  No limit on number of gray shades  Can be extended to multi-line addressing  Large number of voltage levels in the column waveforms  High cost of drivers

Amplitude modulation A 16x16 matrix LCD using amplitude modulation for displaying 8 shades B.E Project, ( )

Row pulse height modulation H Mano et.al., SID 93 Digest, pp , (1993)

Row pulse height modulation  Amplitude of row select pulse is varied in each frame based on the gray shade bit used as data for scanning the display  2 m gray shades with m time intervals  More gray shades with less flicker  Selection ratio is less than the maximum

Row pulse height modulation

Successive approximation  Similar to row pulse height modulation  Amplitudes of both row and column waveforms are varied in successive frames  Amplitude is increased by a factor 2 ½ for each bit from LSB to MSB  Selection ratio is maximum  2 m gray shades with m time intervals

Successive frames B.E Project, ( )

Successive pulses B.E Project, ( )

Successive approximation

A 16x16 matrix LCD displaying 8 gray shades using Successive approximation B.E Project, ( )

Successive approximation and Multi-line addressing Panikumar and Ruckmongathan, ASID’02, pp , (2002)

Successive approximation with Multi-line addressing A 32x32 matrix LCD displaying 16 gray shades 3 rows are selected at a time ASID’02, (2002)

Gray shades based on Wavelets K.G. Pani Kumar M. Govind Sanjay,Santhosh,Santhosh and Raghavendra Anusha,Anitha and Suman B.P.Neena A.R. Shashidhara

Summary Frame modulation -- Limited gray shades Pulse width modulation -- Limited gray shades Amplitude modulation -- No limit on gray shades Large number of levels in column waveform Row pulse height modulation -- More gray shades Low selection ratio

Conclusion  More gray shades than frame modulation  Less hardware complexity as compared to amplitude modulation  Maximum selection ratio and hence good contrast in the display Successive approximation is a better choice for displaying gray shades in passive matrix LCDs.
