Make (n-1)th grade of shift register and the corresponding thin film transistor (TFT) conducting of n-th grade of shift register under the action of dynamic circuit, and then makes
It obtains corresponding pixel unit to shine simultaneously, effectively reduces the frequency that gate drive apparatus sends scanning signal, effectively drop
The low power consumption of gate drive apparatus.
Since n-th grade of shift register receives the scanning signal of the n-th -2 grades shift registers, and (n-1)th grade of displacement is posted
Storage connects the scanning signal for equally receiving the n-th -2 grades shift registers, under the driving of source electrode driver, passes through source drive electricity
Road applies voltage to the thin film transistor (TFT) in each pixel unit, and in data line Dn-1、DnUnder the action of send out pixel unit
Light can either meet display requirement of the resolution ratio less than the image of given threshold in this way, and reduce gate drive apparatus transmission
The frequency of scanning signal significantly reduces the power consumption of gate drive apparatus.
Step 506: if it is determined that indicating sequence controller to grid when the resolution ratio of image to be displayed is not less than given threshold
Driving device sends control instruction, which indicates that the second driving switch starts work.
Step 507: gate drive apparatus drives different shift registers to send scanning letter step by step according to driving circuit
Number.
In step 507, gate drive apparatus drives different shift registers to send scanning signal according to driving circuit
Mode can be carried out in the way of Fig. 2 (b) or Fig. 3 (a), do not specifically describe here.
