PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transflective liquid crystal display panel that reduces the disparity between permeability and reflectivity gamma curves and for improving the image quality. SOLUTION: In the transflective liquid crystal display, having a transmitting region and a reflecting region, a transmission electrode connected to a switch unit m th SW controls a liquid crystal layer over the reflecting region, and a reflection electrode connected to the switch unit via capacity controls the liquid crystal layer over the reflecting region. The display can solve the conventional problem of low reflectivity accompanying high permeability, by making the reflectivity transfer curve of the reflecting region move in the direction of high voltage, by using independent capacity C C and can reduce the disparity between the gamma curves of permeability and that of reflectivity, by using adjustment capacity C 2 connected between the reflection electrode and another common-line.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an LCD panel by which an effect equivalent to row inversion is achieved while reducing power consumption. SOLUTION: The present invention uses a Vcom swing waveform that changes a common voltage Vcom level at the half-frame time unit to solve the problem. As such, the Vcom swing frequency f is equal to the frame refreshing rate. By reducing the Vcom swing frequency, the power consumption associated with the parasitic capacitance can be substantially reduced. Furthermore, in the driving scheme of the present invention, one half of a frame time is used for driving all odd-numbered rows and the other half of the frame time is used for driving all even-numbered rows.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a double-side display device and a manufacturing method thereof, which enhance manufacturing efficiency. SOLUTION: In the double-side display device, an anisotropically conductive material 5 is used as an electrically coupling means for electrically coupling both a first display panel 2 and a second display panel 3. In order to electrically couple both panels 2 and 3 by using the anisotropically conductive material 5, the anisotropically conductive material 5 being in a liquid state is applied to a connection terminal 212 of one of the panels 2 and 3, and a connection terminal 312 of the other is pressed to and caused to adhere to the connection terminal 212 via the anisotropically conductive material 5. At this time, an area pressed by both the connection terminals 212 and 312, of the anisotropically conductive material 5 is forced outward, and conductive particles 52 in the material 5 are moved to come into contact with each other, so that an electric path is formed. The electric path is settled by applying heat to the anisotropically conductive material 5 thereafter, whereby both the display panels 2 and 3 are electrically coupled. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
