US Patent 7508369 Driving technique for activating liquid crystal device

A method for providing a high-response and wide-viewing-angle liquid crystal panel capable of causing a transition of liquid crystal, called the OCB mode, into a bend configuration in a short time, by providing a period in which a potential difference higher than that in a normal image display period is continuously applied between gate lines and opposing electrodes or between pixel electrodes and the opposing electrodes of a liquid crystal panel.
