Describe above-mentioned steps in detail at this, at first microcontroller 58 can produce graph data, and this graph data is sent to internal memory 56, and writing this graph data to the path of internal memory 56, selecting arrangement 64 can judge whether the graph data that microcontroller 58 is produced meets special pattern data, wherein, these special pattern data can be horizontal stripe shape figures (bar pattern) or be a checkerboard figure (checkerpattern) etc., meaning is the great figure of image change gap between previous column pixel and next column pixel, see also Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, the corresponding diagram of horizontal stripe shape graph data that Fig. 6 is stored for internal memory 56 and display panels 52 shown horizontal stripe shape image frames, the checkerboard graph data that Fig. 7 is stored for internal memory 56 and the corresponding diagram of display panels 52 shown checkerboard image frames, stored in the internal memory 56 " 0 " or " 1 " represent the pairing voltage of SEG signal of section electrode drive circuit 60 generations, and then cause the bright demonstration of display panels 52.And when changing the storing value of internal memory 56, the waveform of SEG signal also can change thereupon, meaning promptly exists when the storing value of internal memory 56 " 0 " and " 1 " and between switching frequency when higher, then represent the waveform of SEG signal also can continuously change, the power consumption of driving circuit 54 also can thereby improve thus, as Fig. 6 and shown in Figure 7, because it is too frequent that internal memory 56 storing values of previous column pixel and next column pixel change, so when showing horizontal stripe shape figure with the checkerboard figure, the power consumption of driving circuit 54 can than the situation that shows general figures get off greatly.
When the graph data of selecting device 64 to judge that microcontroller 58 is produced does not meet these special pattern data, represent that then the power consumption of driving circuit 54 do not bring up to a certain specific degrees, so the time selecting arrangement 64 can select driving circuits 54 to drive display panels 52 with progressive scanning mode, and export corresponding selection signal to control device 66, control device 66 just can control Driver Circuit 54 drive display panels 52 with progressive scanning mode, and display panels 52 just can show the image frame that corresponds to this graph data with progressive scanning mode; Maybe when the graph data of selecting device 64 to judge that microcontroller 58 is produced meets these special pattern data, the graph data that the counter 68 meeting accumulative total microcontrollers 58 of selecting arrangement 64 are produced meets the number of these special pattern data, when if the comparer 70 of selecting arrangement 64 is differentiated numerical value that counters 68 are calculated not greater than this given number, represent that then the power consumption of driving circuit 54 do not bring up to a certain specific degrees, so the time selecting arrangement 64 can select driving circuits 54 to drive display panels 52 with progressive scanning mode, and export corresponding selection signal to control device 66, control device 66 just can control Driver Circuit 54 drive display panels 52 with progressive scanning mode, and display panels 52 just can show the image frame that corresponds to this graph data with progressive scanning mode; But when if the comparer 70 of selecting arrangement 64 is differentiated numerical value that counters 68 are calculated greater than this given number, represent that then the power consumption of driving circuit 54 brought up to a certain specific degrees, so the time selecting arrangement 64 can select driving circuits 54 with driven in interlaced scan mode display panels 52, and export corresponding selection signal to control device 66, control device 66 just can control Driver Circuit 54 with driven in interlaced scan mode display panels 52, and display panels 52 just can show the image frame correspond to this graph data with interlaced scan mode, thus just can be with respect to the progressive scanning mode driven in interlaced scan mode display panels 52 of power saving comparatively.
For instance, see also Fig. 8, the synoptic diagram of COM signal and SEG signal when Fig. 8 shows horizontal stripe shape figure for the present invention with driven in interlaced scan mode display panels 52, owing to be with driven in interlaced scan mode display panels 52, so the time graph datas stored in the internal memory 56 can resequence, for example, use making the data that section electrode drive circuit 60 is transmitted according to internal memory 56 in regular turn produce corresponding SEG signal under interlaced scan mode with the data sorting of the odd column of corresponding graph data leading portion in the data of the even column of corresponding graph data; Or can be section electrode drive circuit 60 and jumping the data that read the odd column of the corresponding graph data of storing in the internal memory 56 earlier, jumping the data that read the even column of the corresponding graph data of storing in the internal memory 56 again, to produce the SEG signal of corresponding interlaced scan mode.In addition, the driving of shared electrode driving circuit 62 is COM0, COM2, COM1, COM3 in proper order.So by finding out among the figure that the storing value of internal memory 56 still remains when switching to the COM2 sweep trace by the COM0 sweep trace " 1 ", so the output waveform of SEG0, SEG1, SEG2, SEG3 sweep trace still keeps noble potential; When switching to the COM1 sweep trace, because the storing value of internal memory 56 is served as reasons by the COM2 sweep trace " 1 " switch to " 0 ", so the output waveform of SEG0, SEG1, SEG2, SEG3 sweep trace switches to electronegative potential by noble potential; And when switching to the COM3 sweep trace by the COM1 sweep trace, because the storing value of internal memory 56 still remains " 0 ", so SEG0, SEG1, SEG2, the output waveform of SEG3 sweep trace still keeps electronegative potential, so show the waveform of SEG signal in the process of this four row pixel only switches once between high electronegative potential with interlaced scan mode, can between high electronegative potential, switch three times compared to waveform with progressive scanning mode SEG signal in the process that shows this four row pixel, so after changing the driving order of shared electrode driving circuit 62, under the prerequisite of the memory contents of same memory 56, can produce the waveform of different SEG signals, but can not influence the correctness of display panels 52 display frames, the current potential that continuous variation produced that can effectively reduce because of the SEG signal really continuously changes thus, and then reduces the power consumption of driving circuit 54.
In addition, be different from the foregoing description, the present invention also can drive display panels 52 with progressive scanning mode when input graphics data meets a special pattern, when not meeting this special pattern then with driven in interlaced scan mode display panels 52, for example classify 1 and follow continuous two when classifying 0 continuous horizontal stripe shape figure as, drive display panels 52 with progressive scanning mode when input graphics data meets continuous two.This moment, 64 of selecting arrangements were used for selecting driving circuit 54 to drive display panels 52 with progressive scanning mode when comparer 70 is differentiated numerical value that counters 68 are calculated greater than this given number.
See also Fig. 9, Fig. 9 is the process flow diagram of another embodiment of the present invention selection with interlaced scan mode or progressive scanning mode driving display panels 52, and method of the present invention comprises the following step:
Step 200: the microcontroller 58 of LCD 50 produces graph data.
Step 202: selecting arrangement 64 judges whether the graph data that microcontroller 58 is produced meets special pattern data, if execution in step 204; Execution in step 214 then if not.
Step 204: the graph data that the counter 68 calculating microcontrollers 58 of selecting arrangement 64 are produced meets the number of these special pattern data.
Step 206: whether the numerical value that the comparer 70 differentiation counters 68 of selecting arrangement 64 are calculated is greater than a given number, if execution in step 208; Execution in step 214 then if not.
Step 208: selecting arrangement 64 selects driving circuit 54 to drive display panels 52 with progressive scanning mode.
Step 210: control device 66 control Driver Circuit 54 drive display panels 52 with progressive scanning mode.
Step 212: display panels 52 shows the image frame that corresponds to this graph data with progressive scanning mode.
Step 214: selecting arrangement 64 selects driving circuit 54 with driven in interlaced scan mode display panels 52.
Step 216: control device 66 control Driver Circuit 54 are with driven in interlaced scan mode display panels 52.
Step 218: display panels 52 shows the image frame that corresponds to this graph data with interlaced scan mode.
Step 220: finish.

When the graph data of selecting device 64 to judge that microcontroller 58 is produced does not meet these special pattern data, represent that then the power consumption of driving circuit 54 do not bring up to a certain specific degrees, so the time selecting arrangement 64 can select driving circuits 54 with driven in interlaced scan mode display panels 52, and export corresponding selection signal to control device 66, control device 66 just can control Driver Circuit 54 with driven in interlaced scan mode display panels 52, and display panels 52 just can show the image frame that correspond to this graph data with interlaced scan mode; But when the graph data of selecting device 64 to judge that microcontroller 58 is produced meets these special pattern data, the graph data that the counter 68 meeting accumulative total microcontrollers 58 of selecting arrangement 64 are produced meets the number of these special pattern data, when if the comparer 70 of selecting arrangement 64 is differentiated numerical value that counters 68 are calculated not greater than this given number, represent that then the power consumption of driving circuit 54 do not bring up to a certain specific degrees, so the time selecting arrangement 64 can select driving circuits 54 with driven in interlaced scan mode display panels 52, and export corresponding selection signal to control device 66, control device 66 just can control Driver Circuit 54 with driven in interlaced scan mode display panels 52, and display panels 52 just can show the image frame that correspond to this graph data with interlaced scan mode; But when if the comparer 70 of selecting arrangement 64 is differentiated numerical value that counters 68 are calculated greater than this given number, represent that then the power consumption of driving circuit 54 brought up to a certain specific degrees, so the time selecting arrangement 64 can select driving circuits 54 to drive display panels 52 with progressive scanning mode, and export corresponding selection signal to control device 66, control device 66 just can control Driver Circuit 54 drive display panels 52 with progressive scanning mode, and display panels 52 just can show the image frame correspond to this graph data with progressive scanning mode, thus just can with respect to interlaced scan mode comparatively the progressive scanning mode of power saving drive display panels 52.
For instance, see also Figure 11, the synoptic diagram of COM signal and SEG signal when Figure 11 drives display panels 52 and shows the continuous horizontal stripe shape figure of Figure 10 with progressive scanning mode for the present invention, owing to be to drive display panels 52, so the driving of shared electrode driving circuit 62 is COM0, COM1, COM2, COM3 in proper order with progressive scanning mode.By finding out among the figure that the storing value of internal memory 56 still remains when switching to the COM1 sweep trace by the COM0 sweep trace " 1 ", so the output waveform of SEG0, SEG1, SEG2, SEG3 sweep trace still keeps noble potential; When switching to the COM2 sweep trace, because the storing value of internal memory 56 is served as reasons by the COM1 sweep trace " 1 " switch to " 0 ", so the output waveform of SEG0, SEG1, SEG2, SEG3 sweep trace switches to electronegative potential by noble potential; And when switching to the COM3 sweep trace by the COM2 sweep trace, because the storing value of internal memory 56 still remains " 0 ", so SEG0, SEG1, SEG2, the output waveform of SEG3 sweep trace still keeps electronegative potential, so show the waveform of SEG signal in the process of this four row pixel only switches once between high electronegative potential with progressive scanning mode, can between high electronegative potential, switch three times compared to waveform with interlaced scan mode SEG signal in the process that shows this four row pixel, the current potential that continuous variation produced that can effectively reduce because of the SEG signal really continuously changes thus, and then reduces the power consumption of driving circuit 54.
