Display apparatus and a data signal forming method for the display apparatus.

摘要

A display apparatus wherein the light transmittance of a pixel selected by a scanning electrode and a data electrode is changed in response to the difference of voltages applied to the scanning electrode and the data electrode, which comprises a display panel having a plurality of scanning electrodes and a plurality of data electrodes, a scanning voltage generator for applying a scanning voltage to the scanning electrodes of the display panel by receiving a scanning signal, a data voltage generator for applying a data voltage to the data electrodes of the display panel by receiving a data signal, an orthogonal function generator for generating an orthogonal function signal having substantially orthogonality, and a data signal forming circuit for operating the data signal based on a predetermined video signal and the orthogonal function signal generated from the orthogonal function generator, wherein the data signal forming circuit includes a field video signal converter for distributing signals for a single picture to those for a plurality of sub-pictures, and an orthogonal conversion signal generator for effecting orthogonal conversion of an input signal by the orthogonal function signal generated from the orthogonal function generator, the field video signal converter and the orthogonal conversion signal generator being connected in series, and a correction signal generator for generating a correction signal to be included in the data signal so that an effective voltage applied to a pixel in a non-selection time is substantially constant to any pixel.
