Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A capacity load drive device 1 includes: a logic portion 11 generating a binary logic signal IN; and a driver portion 13 determining, based on a predetermined mode switching signal MODE, whether to generate a binary drive signal or ternary drive signal from the logic signal IN and applying binary or ternary drive signals X 1 to Xm generated according to the determination, to an end of a capacity load (liquid crystal cell).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A capacity load drive device comprising: a logic portion arranged to generate a binary logic signal; and a driver portion being fed with a drive voltage, the logic signal, a predetermined mode switching signal, and a clock signal, the driver portion determining, based on the mode switching signal, whether to generate a binary drive signal or a ternary drive signal from the logic signal and arranged to apply to one end of a capacity load the binary or terna…
