Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device and a driving device thereof, and more particularly to a liquid crystal display device having a high display quality display and a driving device therefor. [Prior Art] The first figure shows a schematic structural view of a typical liquid crystal display device 1. The liquid crystal display device 1 includes a liquid crystal element array 2, a gate line driving circuit 7, and a source bus line driving circuit 8, wherein the liquid crystal element array 2 is composed of a liquid crystal cell 3 arranged in a matrix form. Each of the liquid crystal elements 3 is constructed by a bonding film transistor 4, a liquid crystal display element 5, and an auxiliary capacitor 6; wherein the liquid crystal display element 5 is connected to a capacitor between the drain of the thin film transistor 4 and the ground, and The auxiliary capacitors 6 are connected in parallel, and the gate and source of the thin film transistor 4 are connected to the gate line and the source bus bar, respectively. Further, the gate line driving circuit 7 sequentially drives the gate lines of the respective rows, and the thin film transistors of the respective liquid crystal elements are commonly connected to the respective gate lines. Furthermore, the source bus bar driving circuit 8 supplies a voltage signal to the sources of the respective thin film transistors of the liquid crystal cells of the respective columns connected in common to the source bus bar. The liquid crystal display device must have a hue display. When a pixel is displayed, the data code corresponding to the hue is transmitted to the driving device, and is converted into a voltage signal corresponding to the data code by the driving device. The voltage signal is transmitted to the source line of the liquid crystal element of the pixel connected to the drain of the thin film transistor, and a high voltage is transmitted to the gate line to turn on the gate of the thin film transistor, so that the voltage signal of 200903441 can be transmitted to The liquid crystal element changes the transmittance to obtain a desired image. At this time, the relationship between the data code and the driving voltage is nonlinear, and has a characteristic called a gamma curve. The second figure is a schematic diagram showing the structure of a voltage corresponding to the gamma curve in the prior art. The figure shows the relationship between the data and the voltage. As shown in the figure, it can obtain 256-tone voltage, and its corresponding data code is 0 to 255, which can also be transmitted by 8-bit data. Get the voltage you want. First, in order to obtain the voltage range, 17 voltages, such as V0 to V16, are taken out from a reference voltage generator 10, wherein the reference voltage generator 10 is composed of 18 resistor dividers connected in series between the power source and the ground. Seventeen voltages (V0 to V16) are obtained by resistor division. Using the upper 4 bits of the data and the 4-bit switch matrix selector 20, 16 voltage ranges can be selected with an output voltage range of 乂. And Vn+1; reuse data lower order 4-bit and 4-bit linear digital analog converter (DAC) 30 can select one of 16 voltages in the selected voltage range. In the example shown in the second figure, it is indicated that the output voltage falls within the voltage range V14-V15 and is assigned to any of the data codes 223 to 239. The third drawing is a schematic block diagram of a driving device for a color liquid crystal display device which applies a source voltage to a source bus bar; wherein the same portions as those of the second figure are denoted by the same reference numerals. The driving device shown in the third figure supplies voltage to two columns of liquid crystal elements, wherein each column of liquid crystal elements includes three color components (R, G, B). At this time, when the voltage data of the red (R) 200903441 liquid crystal element applied to a certain pixel in the nth column is supplied, as in the description of the second figure, 17 kinds of voltage values are taken out from the reference voltage generator 10, and then borrowed. The voltage selector 20 of the 4-bit DA converter selects and outputs two voltage values Vn and Vn+1 corresponding to the upper 4 bits of the voltage data from 16 voltage ranges of 17 voltage values; Two voltage values Vn and Vn+1 are applied to the source busbar of the pixel column, and are transmitted to the 4-bit lower-order bit DA converter 31 to obtain a value corresponding to the data value and fall within the voltage range. Voltage. The buffer 41 stabilizes the voltage; the stabilized voltage is applied to the source busbar SB1R of the red pixel line by a 1-to-3 demultiplexer 51. Further, a precharge circuit 60 is provided in order to prevent the display operation from being delayed due to a large voltage fluctuation in each of the source bus bars. With the above configuration, when a voltage is applied to a column of source busbars, pre-charging is first performed to prepare and drive the red column of the first column, and then the green column of the first column is prepared and driven, and then Prepare and drive the blue column of the first column. As described in U.S. Patent Publication No. 2004-0174347. However, the above structure has a drawback in that it is affected by the change in the electric galvanism when the adjacent column is driven. That is, when the red column of the first column is driven, the green column is driven in the state in which the source busbar forms the voltage VI. When the voltage rises, the red column also has a potential increase due to the voltage rise. It is caused by the parasitic capacitance coupling between the source busbars. Similarly, the adjacent source busbars are affected by voltage variations and will cause damage to the shadow image. Therefore, if you want to drive two columns of units, the following method will be used. First, when the red column of the first column is driven, 200903441 is first prepared for the red column of the second column; in the red column driver of the second column, the green column of the first column is also prepared for driving. So interactively driven in two columns. However, in the driving of such two columns of units, each column needs to be precharged, and thus a precharge circuit needs to be provided. Therefore, it consumes a lot of power and cannot meet the requirements of reducing power consumption. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A driving device for a liquid crystal display device of the present invention drives a liquid crystal display element by supplying a source voltage to a color tone, the driving device comprising: a reference voltage generator that generates a set voltage, the set voltage Corresponding to the range of the tone voltage; the first digital analog converter extracts a value representing a voltage range from a reference voltage generator through a bit position of a data code, wherein the tone voltage corresponds to one of the liquid crystal display devices a liquid crystal element; a second and a third digital analog converter configured in two columns, when the second and third digital analog converters select the first digital analog converter according to the lower order bits of the data code The second and third digital analog converters can selectively output detailed values when one of the voltage ranges is detailed; and a demultiplexer that selectively connects the outputs of the second and third digital analog converters to Any of the even columns. Since the present invention does not perform precharging, it is pre-driven to raise the potential to a value close to that originally required, so that the voltage shift of the source bus is small, thereby maintaining good display quality. In addition, since the pre-charging circuit is not required, the power supply of the 200903441 can be reduced, and the power supply can be reduced, so that the cost can be reduced. The buffer amplification is lower than the first DA conversion system and the low power is as good as P. The preferred embodiment 'and the closed type is described in detail. [Embodiment]::Ξ: month embodiment The driving structure of the liquid crystal display device is additionally described in the above description of the conventional structure shown in the second figure. It is used for the structure of two pixel columns of three colors. The voltage range reference voltage generator 110 and the Hi-phase (four) structure of the third figure have a series connection between the power source and the ground, and the divider is divided by resistors to obtain V0 to V16 = 17 voltages. The 17 types of electricity are transmitted to the voltage selector 12 of the 4-bit DA converter by a 17-bit bus. The voltage selector 120 outputs voltage values Vn and Vn+1 within the display voltage range corresponding to the upper 4 bits of the transmitted data. The % voltage values Vn and γη+1 are transferred to a 4-bit linear digital analog conversion (DAC) 131 and a 4-bit linear digital analog converter (DAC) 132. The DACs 131 and 132 correspond to any of the 16 voltages within the specified voltage range of the lower 4-bit output of the data, and the outputs are stabilized by the negative feedback buffers 141, 142, respectively. In addition, a 2-pair 6 demultiplexer 152 is connected between the two input sides and the six output sides, whereby the two pairs of 6 demultiplexers 152 can form a total of three colors in two columns. 6 source busbars SB1R, SB1G, SB1B, SB2R, SB2G, SB2B are arbitrarily selected and applied with an output voltage. In addition, unlike the third figure, in the present embodiment, the pre-drive signal PRD is input to the 200903441 4-bit linear digital-to-digital converters (DAC) 131 and 132, and the buffers 141, 142 are also the same. The buffers 41, 42 in the three figures are different, and this embodiment is a negative feedback connected operational amplifier. In this embodiment, a two-to-six-demultiplexer is configured instead of the two 1-to-3 demultiplexers shown in the third figure, and there is no need to configure a precharge circuit in this example. The fifth diagram shows a circuit diagram of the 4-bit linear digital analog converter (DAC) 131 connected to the buffer 141 in the present invention. In the circuit diagram shown, the range enclosed by dotted lines represents a conventional 4-bit linear digital analog converter (DAC) 31 having five parallel capacitors, one of which is commonly grounded at one end and has a capacitance Take C as the unit capacitance, which is 1C, 1C, 2C, 4C, 8C. The other ends of these capacitors are respectively connected to switches SW10, SW11, SW12, SW13, SW14 for causing the voltage values output by the voltage selector 120 to be at 乂. Switching is performed with Vn+1; and these capacitors are also connected to switches SW20, SW21, SW22, SW23, SW24, respectively, and controlled by the pre-drive signal PRD. The other ends of the switches SW20, SW21, SW22, SW23, and SW24 are commonly connected to the buffer 141. In addition, a switch SW25 is also provided to directly input the voltage Vn into the buffer by the control of the pre-drive signal PRD, wherein the switch SW25 performs the opposite operation to the switches SW20, SW21, SW22, SW23, SW24. In addition, the switch SW25 can also supply the voltage Vn+1 to the buffer as indicated by the broken line in the fifth figure. Figure 6 is a timing diagram showing the operation of the circuit in accordance with the fourth and fifth figures. In this case, a total of six columns of three color and three color components are taken as an example, and the source voltage is supplied to the source bus bar as an example. The case where the source voltage is supplied to the six source bus bars 11 200903441 SB1R, SB1G, SB1B, SB2R, SB2G, and SB2B in the four diagrams of the four figures will now be described. The sixth figure shows the two actions shown in [A][B] interactively; that is, the setting and pre-driving of the first column are performed during the initial period, and the voltage specified by the data code is driven, and the The second column is set and pre-driven. When the second column is driven during the connection period, the third column is set and pre-driven; in the same manner, the setting and pre-driving time intervals are alternately repeated between the two columns. Drive the time course. The voltage selector 120 selects two voltages Vn and Vn+i of the display voltage range from among the 17 voltage values taken out from the reference voltage generator 10 shown in FIG. 4 according to the upper order bits of the data code, and It is supplied to two 4-bit linear digital analog converters (dac) 13i and m. ^ These 4-bit linear digital analog converters (DACs) 131 and 132 are shown in the fifth figure, and have unit capacitors lc, lc, 2C, 4c, 8c = capacitors connected to voltage Vn or ^, respectively, and switches Swi〇, 11, SW12, SW13, SW14 are cut according to the lower 4 bits of the data code. “Shi: The driving voltage of the source bus is set according to the data code swL.

Therefore, the pre-drive and the pre-drive can be performed at the same time, and the result of the pre-drive is the value that is output from the voltage selector (3), as shown in the voltage waveform diagram of the 歹 歹 diagram. In the second period, the voltages of the capacitors n stored in the 4-bit linear digital analog converter (DAC) 131 by turning off the switches SW20, SW21, SW22, SW23, and SW24 are supplied to the drive voltage specified by the data code.
