The DC/AC circuit 43 is electrically connected to the clock generator 42, the pulse width modulation controller 41, and the bulb 44. The clock generator 42 outputs a clock signal, and triggers the activation of the DC/AC circuit 43 to cause the DC/AC circuit 43 to convert the DC signal into an AC signal according to the pulse width modulation signal output by the PWM controller 41. And boosting is performed to output and drive the lamp 44 to emit light. The lamp 4.4 has two electrodes, so the driving voltage difference can be increased by the bilateral driving method to increase the brightness. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a driving signal used in a conventional bilateral driving, in which the horizontal axis represents time and the vertical axis represents the intensity of the driving signal. The driving grade shown in ® 2 is the above-mentioned pulse width modulation signal. In the traditional bilateral driving, the left and right electrodes are driven at the same time, that is, the driving signals of the left and right electrodes are in phase. However, in the backlight module, the capacitive effect between the back plate and the lamp tube causes a leakage current phenomenon in the tube current in the lamp tube, so that the brightness of the f-light module cannot be uniformly distributed (four). The silk has a low duty cycle (duty cyde) and the temple is more serious. Fig. 3 is a graph showing the brightness obtained by bilateral driving according to a driving signal having a low duty cycle. As shown in Figure 3, the brightness in the middle of the backplane (between the backplane positions 4 and 6) is lower, and the brightness in the middle of the lamp will be darker than the drive electrodes on both sides. Inconsistent sentences affect display quality. Especially in the case of large size or long tubes, uneven brightness (4) is more serious. -^ In the case of transmission and unilateral driving (that is, the driving signal only drives the lamp S to be unilaterally fast and the lamp is illuminated), there is also a leakage current phenomenon that causes uneven brightness and is large in size or When the long lamp is used and the signal has a low duty cycle, the phenomenon that the brightness is not uniform is more obvious. 201110094 Therefore, how to provide a display device and a light-emitting module can solve the above problems to improve the uniformity and display quality of the display surface, which is one of the current important issues. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a display device and a light-emitting module capable of improving display uniformity and display quality. In order to achieve the above object, a lighting module according to the present invention comprises a lamp, a first driving unit and a second driving unit. The tube has a first electrode and a second electrode. The first driving unit is electrically connected to the first electrode, and the second driving unit is electrically connected to the second electrode. The first driving unit and the second driving unit alternately drive the first electrode and the second electrode within a driving time. To achieve the above objective, a lighting module according to the present invention comprises a first lamp, a second lamp, a first driving unit and a second driving unit. • The first tube has a first electrode. The second tube has a second electrode, and the first electrode and the second electrode are located on opposite sides of the first tube and the second tube. The first driving unit is electrically connected to the first electrode, and the other electrode of the first tube is electrically connected to a reference voltage. The second driving unit is electrically connected to the second electrode, and the other electrode of the second tube is electrically connected to another reference voltage. The first driving unit and the second driving unit alternately drive the first electrode and the second electrode within a driving time. In order to achieve the above object, a display device according to the present invention includes a display panel and a backlight module. The backlight module is opposite to the display panel and includes a lamp, a first driving unit and a second driving unit. . The lamp has a first electrode and a second electrode. The first driving unit is electrically connected to the first electrode, and the second driving unit is electrically connected to the second electrode. The first driving unit and the second driving unit alternately drive the first electrode and the second electrode within a driving time. In order to achieve the above object, a display device according to the present invention includes a display panel and a backlight module. The backlight module is opposite to the display panel and includes a first tube, a second tube, and a first a drive unit and a second drive unit. The first tube has a first electrode, the second tube has a second electrode, and the first electrode and the second electrode are located on opposite sides of the first tube and the second tube. The first driving unit is electrically connected to the first electrode, and the other electrode of the first tube is electrically connected to a reference voltage. The second driving unit is electrically connected to the second electrode, and the other electrode of the second tube is electrically connected to another reference voltage. The first driving unit and the second driving unit alternately drive the first electrode and the second electrode within a driving time. As described above, the display device and the light-emitting module of the present invention drive the lamp tube in a single-side driving manner or drive the lamp tube in a bilateral driving manner, because the driving unit alternately drives the electrodes with different times. The lamp tube is lit, and the integration effect of the human eye on the brightness in time is used to achieve the averaging of the brightness, thereby achieving uniformity of illumination. Therefore, the present invention can effectively improve the uniformity of the brightness and the display quality at a low duty cycle. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, a display device and a light-emitting module according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the related drawings. Fig. 4 is a schematic view of a light-emitting module 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The light emitting module of this embodiment! It can be a backlight module or a lighting module, and the backlight module in the basin can be a direct-lit backlight module or an edge-lit backlight module. 〃 々 illuminating: The group 1 comprises a lamp n, a first driving unit 12 and a first: driving unit 13 . In this embodiment, four sets of lamps, a first drive unit, and a second drive unit are taken as an example. The lamp η can be a linear lamp, a u-lamp or an s-tube, and a linear lamp is taken as an example. Further, the lamp officer 11 of the present embodiment is exemplified by a cold cathode lamp. The lamp tube Η is a life electrode 111 and a second electrode 112. The light-emitting module of the present embodiment is similar to the double-side drive ^ driving the lamp tube 'where the first driving unit 12 is electrically connected to the first electrode ln and the driving unit 13 is electrically connected to the second electrode 112 connection. The first driving =12 and the second driving unit 13 alternately drive an electrode 111 and a second electrode 112 during the driving time to cause the lamp u to emit light. In this embodiment, the first driving unit 12 and the second driving unit 13 may include a pulse generating circuit, a pulse width hard circuit, and a money/alternating current material for generating the same pressure "5 tiger to drive the light tube 1 1 Glowing. Referring to FIG. 5, during the driving time, the first driving unit 12 drives the first electrode m according to a first driving signal, and the second driving unit 13 drives the second electrode ι2 according to a second driving signal. The first = there is at least - the first pulse (Pulse), the second drive signal has to; - the second pulse. In this embodiment, the first pulse and the third pulse are not overlapped on the axis at all, so that the first electrode ln and the second electrode H2 are driven to be driven. - In addition, the duty cycle of the first pulse or the second pulse is adjustable to achieve the desired brightness. The first pulse and the second pulse of this embodiment are driven within the same frame time T. In addition, the duty cycle of the first pulse and the second pulse can be adjusted, for example, by 13%, to achieve the same desired brightness as conventional. Thereby, the effect of the integration of the brightness by the human eye, in addition to the effect of the brightness required by the conventional one, can solve the problem of the brightness reduction in the middle portion of the conventional lamp. In this embodiment, the first driving signal and the second driving signal periodically and alternately drive the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112. In addition, the first driving signal and the second driving signal of the embodiment are exemplified by the pulse width modulation signal generated by the pulse width modulation circuit of the driving units 12 and 13. In addition, the amplitude of the first driving signal or the second driving signal of the embodiment is also adjustable. Referring to FIG. 6, the difference from the above embodiment is that the duty cycle of the first and second pulses of the embodiment is the same as the duty cycle of the conventional drive signal (hatched portion) (for example, 10%). However, the amplitude (i.e., intensity) of the first pulse or the second pulse is adjustable, for example, by a factor of three; of course, the multiple can be adjusted depending on the actual measured brightness. Additionally, the first and second pulses of this embodiment may correspond to different frame times T. Referring to FIG. 7, different from the above embodiment, the first pulse and the second pulse of the embodiment respectively correspond to adjacent frame time T, that is, drive in the adjacent frame time T. In addition, since only the first pulse or the second pulse is driven in the frame time T, if the brightness is the same as that of the conventional double 201110094, the duty cycle of the first pulse and the second pulse needs to be improved, for example, For example, the duty cycle of the first driving signal and the second driving signal in this embodiment can be adjusted to 20%; for example, the duty cycle of the conventional driving signal is 10%. Of course, the duty cycle can be adjusted based on the measured brightness. Further, Fig. 8 shows that the first pulse and the second pulse of the adjustment intensity correspond to the adjacent frame time T. In this embodiment, since the first and the second two pulses are present in the adjacent frame time T, it is necessary to increase the intensity of the two pulses, for example, twice as long as the conventional lamp bilateral driving signal (hatched portion); Of course, the multiple can be adjusted in response to the measured brightness. Fig. 9 is a schematic view of a light-emitting module 2 according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
