Description of the Invention: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a precharge circuit, and more particularly to a liquid crystal display device applicable to various electronic devices. [Prior Art] In the liquid crystal display device, it is necessary to supply the source voltage for driving, but in this case, in addition to the need for a power supply with good performance in order to raise the 7 voltage from the initial state to the high voltage in one fell swoop, and it takes time to increase For the reason of the voltage, a voltage of about an intermediate value between the two driving voltages is applied before the display period, and a so-called precharge processing is performed (refer to Patent Document 1). When the precharge processing is performed, it is easy to raise the original driving voltage in a short time 2, which not only enhances the developing speed, but also prevents the influence of the adjacent pixel function from being affected by a drastic change of a certain pixel voltage.曰In order to apply the precharge voltage, most of them are provided by a dedicated DC power supply such as a DC/DC converter (a DC/DC c〇nverte〇) provided in a general liquid crystal display device. The continuous application of the same voltage to the liquid crystal material causes a change in characteristics, that is, a so-called sticking effect, so that in order to prevent the above-described effect of the inversion drive, the AC electric field is used during each display period. A driving voltage of opposite polarity is applied to the liquid crystal layer. For example, in the case of column inversion driving, the potential of the counter electrode is 0773-A33168TWF; KB06008 6 200849185 in each 歹] reversal day $father, and by An alternating electric field is applied to the pixel liquid crystal by the difference between the counter electrode potential and the analog voltage output from the column driving circuit (source driving circuit). In this case, each column alternates from the source in line time. The pole drive circuit outputs an arbitrary voltage. In addition, when the output voltage of the source drive circuit is reversed, the precharge line is connected at a certain time. As the source line of the equivalent capacitive load, in this day the 'all source lines are briefly the same potential. = The pre-charge line is connected to have a larger capacitance than the full source line = In addition, since the capacitor is charged and discharged, the source line potential of the mother column during pre-charging is averaged. In a liquid crystal display device having a precharge circuit, when a still image is displayed, this As a result of charging and discharging from the source line, the potential of the capacitor automatically becomes the potential near the middle of the output voltage range of the source drive circuit. Thereby, the drive capability of the source drive circuit for the source line capacitive load, It is sufficient to fully write the difference voltage from the intermediate voltage after pre-charging to the target voltage in the line alternate period, which has a souther design freedom. However, when displaying a motion picture, Due to the imbalance of the amount of charge that is charged and discharged from the source line capacitor to the precharge line capacitor, the voltage between the electric valley potential and the voltage near the middle of the voltage range is greatly offset. Stabilizing the surface. In order to improve the imaging speed and avoid the influence of the neighboring pixels, even if the potential of the capacitor deviates from the potential near the middle of the output voltage range of the source driver circuit, the precharge voltage is required. It is set to 0773-A33168TWF; KB06008 7 200849185 The electric potential in the middle of it. Patent Document 1: Specially-off half! Λ 开 十 10 10-11032. [Summary of the Invention] As described above, in the past, for lightning, shield collision - + r With the appropriate ink value, it is the case that the external Qiu power supply is supplied with a certain voltage to the pre-charged external image.

However, it is necessary to use external power, however, in the conventional pre-charging circuit, into the outer Qiu; 隹 and ancient 4 belt L ^ 疋 no ^ from the charge:,, due to DC / DC (DC / DC) conversion, crying power problem. ...continuous action, so waste is unnecessary. In addition, since the pre-charging line capacitance is in a complete state at the time of startup, it is necessary to charge a sufficient amount of charge. In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a precharge circuit for a liquid helium display device that does not require a dedicated precharge power source, and maintains a potential for a precharge line even if it is in a stationary surface or the like.
