Motion Adaptive CODEC Feedforward Driving for LCD overdrive

— The authors have been developing a Feedforward Driving scheme as an overdrive technique to improve LCD response time. Focusing on the reduction of frame memory in overdrive in particular, they are now studying a memory-reduction method by applying an image-compression technique. An LSI has already been developed that incorporates a Compression Feedforward Driving unit, which successfully reduced image data to 1/3 by means of the image-compression technique. This paper reports a study of Motion Adaptive CODEC Feedforward Driving in which a motion adaptation process is added to the CODEC section of the Compression Feedforward Driving unit. This motion adaptation process reduces the amount of errors in overdrive that are caused by memory reduction by using a circuit of the same scale as that for Compression Feedforward Driving.
