Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004090852A1] The invention relates to a method and a measuring system for checking the function of liquid crystal displays comprising individual display segments, on the basis of the difference in the electrical capacitance Cseg of defective and intact display segments. The invention is based on the fact that the capacitance of the display segments is directly determined by measuring the stored electrical charge using a capacitance measuring method. According to the preferred measuring method, a charge transfer is carried out by a reference capacitor Cref, and the segment capacitance Cseg is determined as a result of a charge balance, preferably by means of a DeltaSigma conversion.
