Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a source driver, and more particularly to an adjustment of output signal rotation The source of the source drive. [Prior Art] The source driver is an important component in a liquid crystal display (liquid crystal, _LCD), which converts digital video data into multiple voltage signals, and transmits the converted voltage signal to the display panel. The morpheme on the display to display the image. The source driver typically has multiple output buffers to enhance the voltage signals described above. Due to the differences in the characteristics of the electronic components and the variations in the process, the voltage signals output from these output buffers do not have the same slew rate at the time of the drive. As a result, the display screen is unstable due to the difference in time required for the liquid crystal orientation. Generally, in a liquid crystal display device, the polarity of a voltage signal transmitted to a pixel must be periodically changed to avoid polarization of the liquid crystal and cause image sticking. There are three ways to drive the display panel with polarity inversion, namely frame inversion, column inversion, and dot inversion. Taking dot inversion as an example, adjacent pixels in a plane are driven by driving voltages of opposite polarities, and the same position of the two consecutive pupils are driven by driving voltages of opposite polarities. Generally speaking, the driving voltage of the positive polarity is greater than the common voltage coupled to the liquid crystal, and the driving voltage of the negative polarity is less than the shared voltage. j〇36-TW 2850Stwf.doc/n

Similarly, the adjustment unit 132 is coupled between the output terminal 〇UT2 of the output buffer 112 and the second input terminal 12 of the multiplexer 12A for adjusting the _ rate of the output buffer pixel signal. The first output terminal 02 of the multiple μ (10) is coupled to the odd data line D1 and the even data line, respectively. The multiplexer 120 transmits the pixel signals VH and VP2 of the complementary polarity to the odd data lines m and the even data lines according to the (four) signal CQN, and transmits the pixel signals vpi and w2 to the even data lines D2 D1 respectively to perform the point. Polarity is reversed. ,. ' " The electronic circuit's slew rate is defined as the 1-load effect of the turn-off signal change and the charge-discharge operation of the output buffer. The output buffer (four) output may have a fat reading rate, and the same-output buffer The halogen signal output by the device will also be asymmetric.

The embodiment of the present invention solves the above problem by using the adjustment units 131 and 132 = [the buffers (1) and 112, respectively, the halogen signals νρι and w2 to adjust the meal]. Referring to FIG. 1, in the present embodiment, = 7L 131 and 1; 32 are implemented by variable resistors VR1 and VR2, respectively, and the output rate of the output signal buffers U1 and 112 is output. match. The variable resistor VR1 is connected between the output terminal of the output buffer 〇 and the multiplexer 120 to adjust the resistance between the two. The variable resistor VR2 is in the output buffer 112 • between the terminal OUT2 and the multiplexer 120 to adjust the resistance between the two. When the slew rate of the VP1 signal is less than the slew rate of the VP2 signal, the variable resistor VR1 is controlled to adjust the signal and lower its resistance value to increase the slew rate of the VP1 signal, so that the VP1 signal is VP1. The slew rate matches the slew rate of the halogen signal VP2. On the other hand, the variable resistor VR2 is controlled by adjusting the signal T2 to increase its resistance value to lower the slew rate of the VP2 signal, so that the slew rate of the VOV signal VP2 matches the slew rate of the 昼V signal vpi. In a preferred embodiment, the variable resistor and the VR2 are respectively controlled by adjusting the signals T1 and T2 to lower the resistance values of the two, thereby increasing the slew rate of the pixel signals VP1 and VP2 to a preset value, so that 昼The slew rates of the prime signals VP1 and VP2 can be matched and matched. In addition, by adjusting the operation of the unit, the rising and falling slew rates of the output signals output by the same output buffer can be symmetrical, so that the output buffers & charging energy ϋ 9 201030724 —---—W 28508twf.doc /n. The symmetry between force and discharge capability is increased to avoid flickering. Referring to FIG. 1, the multiplexer 120 is controlled by the control signal CON, which receives the respectively adjusted pixel signals VP1 and VP2' adjusted by the adjusting units 131 and 132 to selectively transmit the pixel signals Vpi and Vp2 respectively.

Referring to Figure 2, the multiplexer 120 includes switches W1 to W4. The switch W1 turns on the first input terminal II to the first output terminal 01 of the multiplexer 120 according to the first signal CON1 of the control signal CON, and the switch W3 turns on the multiplexer 120 according to the second signal CON2 of the control signal CON. Two input terminals 12 to second output terminals 02. Therefore, the multiplexer 120 can transfer the VP1 and VP2 to the odd data line D1 and the even data line D2, respectively. The switch W2 turns on the first input terminal II to the second output terminal 02 of the multiplexer 120 according to the first inverted signal CON1 of the control signal CON, and the switch W4 is turned on according to the second inverted signal C0N2 of the control signal CON. The second input 12 of the multiplexer 120 is to the first output 01. The first inverted signal CON1 and the second inverted signal CON2' are obtained by inverting the first signal CON1 and the second signal CON2, respectively. Thereby, the multiplexer 120 can transmit the pixel signals VP1 and VP2 to the even data line D2 and the odd data line D1, respectively. The circuit diagrams shown in Figures 1 and 2 are illustrated by way of example only to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and are not intended to limit the invention. The present invention can be easily implemented by those skilled in the art.

In the switches SW_i~sw-N-1, the switches are coupled to the corresponding ones, and the multiplexer 120 Between an input terminal 11 and according to the adjustment signal, the circuit between the output terminal 〇UT1 of the output buffer 11 i and the first input terminal 11 of the multiplexer (10) is turned on. The resistors RE-1 to RE_N and the switch 1 SW-N-1 operate in a manner equivalent to a variable resistor to adjust the slew rate of the pixel signal VP1. For example, assume that the adjustment signal T1 has N-1 bits, and the bit signals of the adjustment signal T1 respectively control the on/off state of the switch swjjw. If the switch SWj is turned on, the equivalent resistance between the output buffer OUT_iu = the output terminal OUT1 and the first input terminal n of the multiplexer 120 is the resistance RE-1. Similarly, if the switch SW-2 is turned on, the equivalent resistance between the output terminal ουτι of the output buffer ill and the first input terminal of the multiplexer no is the sum of the resistor RE-1 and the resistor RE-2. .

In addition, the other end of the capacitor C1 is coupled to the ground voltage GND, and the other end of the switch S2 is lightly connected to the first input terminal II of the multiplex #120. The adjustment unit 131 generates an equivalent resistance by alternately turning on the switches S1 and S2. The equivalent resistance value generated by the adjusting unit 131 is related to the switching frequency of the switches S1 and S2 alternately, that is, R=1/(Cxf), where Lu is the effective resistance value, c is the capacitance value of the capacitance ci and f To switch frequency/rate. Therefore, the adjusting unit 131 shown in FIG. 4 can adjust the swing rate of the pixel signal νρι by increasing or decreasing the effective resistance value generated by the adjusting unit 131.
