Threshold driving voltage: |
The voltages needed to drive an LCD are called the threshold
(10%) and saturation (90%) voltages. The threshold
voltage is rather linear at normal temperatures, but takes a
nasty turn upward as the temperatures go down. The figure
below shows the threshold voltage for a hypothetical LCD fluid.
As can be seen in the graph, the voltage needed to drive
a display rises to unobtainable levels as the
temperature drops. The threshold also goes down off a
bit at high temperatures resulting in an overdriving
condition if the driving voltage is not reduced.
