同時參照第1b圖,其為第1a圖中顯示面板100操作的時序圖。如第1a圖和第1b圖所示,掃描線S_1可先傳送第一掃描訊號至第一顯示部110的第一列像素,以使資料驅動器130所輸出的資料訊號透過資料線D_1、D_2、…、D_m分別寫入第一顯示部110的第一列像素,而後掃描線S_2可再傳送另一第一掃描訊號至第一顯示部110的第二列像素,以使資料驅動器130所輸出的資料訊號透過資料線D_1、D_2、…、D_m分別寫入第一顯示部110的第二列像素,並以此類推。在掃描線S_n傳送第一掃描訊號至第一顯示部110的最後一列像素後,掃描線S_n+1可接著傳送第二掃描訊號至第二顯示部120的第一列像素,以使資料驅動器130所輸出的資料訊號透過資料線D_m+1、D_m+2、…、D_2m分別寫入第二顯示部110的第一列像素,而後掃描線S_n+2可再傳送第二掃描訊號至第二顯示部120的第二列像素,以使資料驅動器130所輸出的資料訊號透過資料線D_m+1、D_m+2、…、D_2m分別寫入第二顯示部120的第二列像素,並以此類推。 Referring also to Figure 1b, which is a timing diagram of the operation of display panel 100 in Figure 1a. As shown in FIG. 1a and FIG. 1b, the scan line S_1 may first transmit the first scan signal to the first column of pixels of the first display unit 110, so that the data signal output by the data driver 130 passes through the data lines D_1, D_2, ..., D_m is written into the first column of pixels of the first display portion 110, and the second scan signal S_2 can be further transmitted to the second column of pixels of the first display portion 110 for output by the data driver 130. The data signals are written into the second column of pixels of the first display portion 110 through the data lines D_1, D_2, ..., D_m, and so on. After the scan line S_n transmits the first scan signal to the last column of pixels of the first display portion 110, the scan line S_n+1 may then transmit the second scan signal to the first column of pixels of the second display portion 120, so that the data driver 130 The output data signals are respectively written into the first column of pixels of the second display unit 110 through the data lines D_m+1, D_m+2, . . . , D_2m, and the second scan signal can be further transmitted to the second display by the scan lines S_n+2. The second column of pixels of the portion 120 is such that the data signals output by the data driver 130 are respectively written into the second column of the second display portion 120 through the data lines D_m+1, D_m+2, ..., D_2m, and so on. .

值得注意的是,在上述操作中,資料線D_1、D_2、…、D_m與資料線D_m+1、D_m+2、…、D_2m可同時用於傳送資料驅動器130所輸出的資料訊號至第一顯示部110與第二顯示部120,並依據掃描線S_1、S_2、…、S_n與掃描線S_n+1、S_n+2、…、S_2n所傳送的掃描訊號以決定哪一列像素被寫入資料訊號。第一顯示部110的每一列像素可在第一導通期間T1內依序被寫入資料訊號,而第二顯 示部120的每一列像素可在第二導通期間T2內依序被寫入資料訊號。 It should be noted that, in the above operation, the data lines D_1, D_2, ..., D_m and the data lines D_m+1, D_m+2, ..., D_2m can be simultaneously used to transmit the data signals output by the data driver 130 to the first display. The portion 110 and the second display portion 120 determine the column of pixels to be written into the data signal according to the scanning signals transmitted by the scanning lines S_1, S_2, ..., S_n and the scanning lines S_n+1, S_n+2, ..., S_2n. Each column of pixels of the first display portion 110 can be sequentially written with a data signal during the first conduction period T1, and the second display Each column of pixels of the display unit 120 can be sequentially written with a data signal during the second on period T2.

透過上述的設置與操作,資料驅動器130的輸出資料接腳pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m可為顯示面板100中所有資料線D_1、D_2、…、D_2m數量的一半,如此可大幅降低資料驅動器130於設計上的複雜度。此外,藉由第一顯示部110與第二顯示部120的設置,可使掃描線S_1、S_2、…、S_n與掃描線S_n+1、S_n+2、…、S_2n分別傳送掃描訊號至第一顯示部110與第二顯示部120,如此一來,每一列像素僅須設置一條掃描線,故在降低資料驅動器130的輸出資料接腳pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m總數的同時,可進一步改善顯示面板100中像素的開口率,例如相較於單列像素上設置多條掃描線的像素而言,顯示面板100中的單列像素具有較佳開口率。 Through the above-mentioned setting and operation, the output data pins pin_1, pin_2, . . . , pin_m of the data driver 130 can be half of the number of all data lines D_1, D_2, . . . , D_2m in the display panel 100, so that the data driver 130 can be greatly reduced. Design complexity. In addition, by the arrangement of the first display portion 110 and the second display portion 120, the scan lines S_1, S_2, ..., S_n and the scan lines S_n+1, S_n+2, ..., S_2n can respectively transmit the scan signals to the first The display unit 110 and the second display unit 120, in this way, only one scanning line needs to be provided for each column of pixels, so that the total number of output data pins pin_1, pin_2, ..., pin_m of the data driver 130 can be reduced, and the display can be further improved. The aperture ratio of the pixels in the panel 100, for example, a single column of pixels in the display panel 100 has a better aperture ratio than a pixel in which a plurality of scan lines are disposed on a single column of pixels.

另外,由於高頻訊號易受電容影響,導致訊號的電壓位準不足,是以在本發明的一些實施例中,每一掃描訊號所持續的時間可包括一段預備時間以及一段畫素充電時間。以掃描線S_1的掃描訊號為例,預備時間可為Tp,畫素充電時間可為Ts1。預備時間Tp可使掃描訊號有充份時間轉態(例如,低電位充電為高電位或高電位放電為低電位),如此一來,可使得畫素內電晶體在畫素充電時間內能夠有足夠時間進行資料寫入。 In addition, since the high frequency signal is susceptible to the capacitance, the voltage level of the signal is insufficient. In some embodiments of the present invention, the duration of each scan signal may include a preliminary time and a pixel charging time. Taking the scanning signal of the scanning line S_1 as an example, the preparation time may be Tp, and the pixel charging time may be Ts1. The preparation time Tp can make the scanning signal have a sufficient time transition state (for example, low potential charging is high potential or high potential discharging is low potential), so that the pixel internal crystal can have a pixel charging time. Sufficient time for data writing.

再者,在本發明的一些實施例中,掃描線S_1、S_2、…、S_2n所傳送的掃描訊號係在一畫面時段(frame)內分別產生,且任兩相鄰之第一掃描訊號以及任兩相鄰之 第二掃描訊號相互具有一時間延遲Td。此處所謂的畫面時段可為一次全畫面更新的時段,在一些情況下,顯示面板100的一個畫面時段可為1/60秒,亦即每秒更新全畫面60次。此外,在一些實施例中,上述時間延遲Td的長度可等於掃描線S_1的掃描訊號之畫素充電時間Ts1。 Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the scan signals transmitted by the scan lines S_1, S_2, . . . , S_2n are respectively generated in a frame period, and any two adjacent first scan signals and any Two adjacent The second scan signals have a time delay Td with each other. The so-called picture period here may be a period of one full screen update. In some cases, one picture period of the display panel 100 may be 1/60 second, that is, the full picture is updated 60 times per second. Moreover, in some embodiments, the length of the time delay Td may be equal to the pixel charging time Ts1 of the scan signal of the scan line S_1.

此外,在本發明的一些實施例中第一閘極驅動器140配置於第一顯示部110之一側,電性連接於掃描線S_1、S_2、…、S_n,並用以依序產生第一掃描訊號。第二閘極驅動器150配置於第二顯示部之一側,電性連接於掃描線S_n+1、S_n+2、…、S_2n,並用以依序產生第二掃描訊號。在一些實施例中,第一閘極驅動器140與第二閘極驅動器150電性連接,並作為一個閘極驅動電路使用,以使第二閘極驅動器150能接續第一閘極驅動器140產生第二掃描訊號。實作上,第一閘極驅動器140與第二閘極驅動器150可以移位暫存電路(shift register)實現,但不限於此。 In addition, in some embodiments of the present invention, the first gate driver 140 is disposed on one side of the first display portion 110, electrically connected to the scan lines S_1, S_2, . . . , S_n, and is configured to sequentially generate the first scan signal. . The second gate driver 150 is disposed on one side of the second display portion, and is electrically connected to the scan lines S_n+1, S_n+2, . . . , S_2n, and is configured to sequentially generate the second scan signals. In some embodiments, the first gate driver 140 is electrically connected to the second gate driver 150 and used as a gate driving circuit to enable the second gate driver 150 to be connected to the first gate driver 140. Second scan signal. In practice, the first gate driver 140 and the second gate driver 150 can be implemented by shifting a shift register, but are not limited thereto.

綜觀上述,本發明的一實施例為一種設置有兩個顯示部的顯示面板,其中分佈於不同顯示部上的掃描線彼此並列而分開設置,且無實體上的直接連接關係,且掃描訊號分別透過不同顯示部上的掃描線傳送至不同顯示部。由於分佈在不同顯示部上且彼此並列的掃描線可分別負責開啟或關閉部份數量(如:一半)的像素,是以如此設置可有效降低前述分開設置之掃描線的負載。此外,相較於利用多工電路的顯示面板,上述一些實施例中的顯示面板由於不具多工電路,故不需要快速切換多工電路的高頻信號,而顯示面板中的每一列像素的充電時間亦不因多工電路的快 速切換而減少,故可以電子遷移率較低的非晶矽(amorphous silicon,a-si)製程進行製造。 In view of the above, an embodiment of the present invention is a display panel provided with two display portions, wherein scan lines distributed on different display portions are arranged side by side and are separated from each other, and there is no physical direct connection relationship, and the scan signals are respectively separated. It is transmitted to different display sections through scan lines on different display sections. Since the scan lines distributed on different display portions and juxtaposed to each other can be responsible for turning on or off a part of the number (for example, half) of pixels, the setting is such that the load of the separately arranged scan lines can be effectively reduced. In addition, the display panel in some embodiments described above does not need to quickly switch the high frequency signal of the multiplexed circuit, and the charging of each column of pixels in the display panel is compared with the display panel using the multiplexed circuit. Time is not fast due to multiplexed circuits It is reduced by speed switching, so it can be manufactured by an amorphous silicon (a-si) process with low electron mobility.

第2a圖為根據本發明一實施例所繪示的顯示面板200的示意圖。顯示面板200包括第一顯示部110、第二顯示部120與資料驅動器130。顯示面板200中的第一顯示部110、第二顯示部120與資料驅動器130之結構大致與顯示面板100中的對應結構相同,故在此不另贅述。 FIG. 2a is a schematic diagram of a display panel 200 according to an embodiment of the invention. The display panel 200 includes a first display portion 110, a second display portion 120, and a material drive 130. The structures of the first display unit 110, the second display unit 120, and the data driver 130 in the display panel 200 are substantially the same as the corresponding structures in the display panel 100, and thus are not described herein.

如圖所示,相較於第1a圖所示之實施例,顯示面板200更包括多工電路260,多工電路260電性連接於資料驅動器130之資料輸出接腳pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m和資料線D_1、D_2、…、D_2m之間,用以選擇性地導通資料輸出接腳pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m和資料線D_1、D_2、…、D_2m其中之一。實作上,多工電路260可以複數個開關器實現。 As shown in the figure, the display panel 200 further includes a multiplex circuit 260 electrically connected to the data output pins pin_1, pin_2, ..., pin_m of the data driver 130. And the data lines D_1, D_2, ..., D_2m are used to selectively turn on one of the data output pins pin_1, pin_2, ..., pin_m and the data lines D_1, D_2, ..., D_2m. In practice, the multiplex circuit 260 can be implemented with a plurality of switches.

透過如上述設置與操作,可使資料驅動器130的每一輸出接腳pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m連接多條資料線但在同一時間僅與單一資料線導通,如此不但可大幅減少資料輸出接腳pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m,亦可顯著地降低資料驅動器130的負載,而確保顯示面板的畫面品質。 Through the above setting and operation, each of the output pins pin_1, pin_2, ..., pin_m of the data driver 130 can be connected to a plurality of data lines but only connected to a single data line at the same time, so that the data output pins can be greatly reduced. Pin_1, pin_2, ..., pin_m can also significantly reduce the load of the data driver 130, and ensure the picture quality of the display panel.

在本發明一實施例中,當掃描線S_1、S_2、…、S_n依序傳送第一掃描訊號時,多工電路260導通資料輸出接腳pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m和第一資料線D_1、D_2、…、D_m,當第二掃描線S_1、S_2、…、S_n依序傳送第二掃描訊號時,多工電路260導通資料輸出接腳pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m和第二資料線D_m+1、D_m+2、…、D_2m。 In an embodiment of the invention, when the scan lines S_1, S_2, ..., S_n sequentially transmit the first scan signal, the multiplex circuit 260 turns on the data output pins pin_1, pin_2, ..., pin_m and the first data line D_1, D_2, ..., D_m, when the second scan lines S_1, S_2, ..., S_n sequentially transmit the second scan signal, the multiplex circuit 260 turns on the data output pins pin_1, pin_2, ..., pin_m and the second data line D_m+ 1, D_m+2, ..., D_2m.

第2b圖為第2a圖中顯示面板200操作的時序圖。如第2a圖和第2b圖所示,多工電路260可在一畫面時段frame的第一導通期間T1使資料驅動器130的輸出接腳pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m與資料線D_1、D_2、…、D_m分別連接並同時與第二資料線D_m+1、D_m+2、…、D_2m分別斷路,在第二導通期間T2使資料驅動器130的輸出接腳pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m與資料線D_m+1、D_m+2、…、D_2m分別連接並同時與資料線D_1、D_2、…、D_m分別斷路。如此一來,便可使第一顯示部110與第二顯示部120的每一列像素依序被寫入資料訊號。 Figure 2b is a timing diagram of the operation of display panel 200 in Figure 2a. As shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b, the multiplex circuit 260 can cause the output pins pin_1, pin_2, ..., pin_m of the data driver 130 and the data lines D_1, D_2, ... in the first on period T1 of the frame period frame. D_m is respectively connected and simultaneously disconnected from the second data lines D_m+1, D_m+2, ..., D_2m, and the output pins pin_1, pin_2, ..., pin_m and data line D_m of the data driver 130 are in the second conduction period T2. +1, D_m+2, ..., D_2m are respectively connected and disconnected from the data lines D_1, D_2, ..., D_m, respectively. In this way, each column of pixels of the first display unit 110 and the second display unit 120 can be sequentially written with data signals.

第2c圖為第2a圖中的多工電路260之示意圖。多工電路260可包括複數個第一開關M11、M12、…、M1m,以及複數個第二開關M21、M22、…、M2m。第一開關M11、M12、…、M1m分別電性連接於資料輸出接腳pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m和資料線D_1、D_2、…、D_m之間。第二開關M21、M22、…、M2m分別電性連接於資料輸出接腳pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m和資料線D_m+1、D_m+2、…、D_2m之間。在一些實施例中,第一開關M11、M12、…、M1m可彼此連接,並共同由一第一控制線SW1控制,且第二開關M21、M22、…、M2m可彼此連接,並共同由一第二控制線SW2控制。 Figure 2c is a schematic diagram of multiplex circuit 260 in Figure 2a. The multiplex circuit 260 can include a plurality of first switches M11, M12, ..., M1m, and a plurality of second switches M21, M22, ..., M2m. The first switches M11, M12, ..., M1m are electrically connected between the data output pins pin_1, pin_2, ..., pin_m and the data lines D_1, D_2, ..., D_m, respectively. The second switches M21, M22, ..., M2m are electrically connected between the data output pins pin_1, pin_2, ..., pin_m and the data lines D_m+1, D_m+2, ..., D_2m, respectively. In some embodiments, the first switches M11, M12, . . . , M1m may be connected to each other and jointly controlled by a first control line SW1, and the second switches M21, M22, . . . , M2m may be connected to each other and jointly The second control line SW2 is controlled.

再次參照第2b圖,在一畫面時段frame中之第一導通期間T1,第一控制線SW1所傳送的控制信號可開啟第一開關M11、M12、…、M1m,以導通資料輸出接腳pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m和資料線D_1、D_2、…、D_m。在一畫 面時段frame中之第二導通期間T2,第二控制線SW2所傳送的控制信號可開啟第二開關M21、M22、…、M2m,以導通資料輸出接腳pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m和資料線D_m+1、D_m+2、…、D_2m。值得注意的是,當第一控制線SW1所傳送的控制信號開啟第一開關M11、M12、…、M1m時,第二控制線SW2所傳送的控制信號可關閉第二開關M21、M22、…、M2m,以斷路資料輸出接腳pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m和資料線D_m+1、D_m+2、…、D_2m,並且反之亦然,如此可避免資料輸出接腳pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m同時連接(或傳送資料信號)至資料線D_1、D_2、…、D_m與資料線D_m+1、D_m+2、…、D_2m,以避免增加資料驅動器130的負載。 Referring again to FIG. 2b, the first conduction period T1 in a picture period frame, the control signal transmitted by the first control line SW1 can turn on the first switches M11, M12, . . . , M1m to turn on the data output pin pin_1, Pin_2, ..., pin_m and data lines D_1, D_2, ..., D_m. In one painting The second conduction period T2 in the face period frame, the control signal transmitted by the second control line SW2 can turn on the second switches M21, M22, ..., M2m to turn on the data output pins pin_1, pin_2, ..., pin_m and the data line D_m+1, D_m+2, ..., D_2m. It should be noted that when the control signal transmitted by the first control line SW1 turns on the first switches M11, M12, . . . , M1m, the control signal transmitted by the second control line SW2 can turn off the second switches M21, M22, . M2m, with pin data output pins pin_1, pin_2, ..., pin_m and data lines D_m+1, D_m+2, ..., D_2m, and vice versa, so as to avoid data output pins pin_1, pin_2, ..., pin_m at the same time Connect (or transmit data signals) to data lines D_1, D_2, ..., D_m and data lines D_m+1, D_m+2, ..., D_2m to avoid increasing the load of data driver 130.

綜觀上述,本發明的一些實施例利用多工電路在同一時間僅導通一條資料線,故可降低資料驅動器的負載。此外,相較於傳統利用多工電路的顯示面板,在本發明的一些實施例中,多工電路的控制訊號大致對應於半個畫面時段,故此些控制訊號的頻率較低、所消耗的功率較低,且較不易在切換時而減少像素的充電時間。 In view of the above, some embodiments of the present invention utilize a multiplexed circuit to turn on only one data line at a time, thereby reducing the load on the data drive. In addition, in some embodiments of the present invention, the control signals of the multiplex circuit generally correspond to half of the picture period, so the frequency of the control signals is lower and the power consumed is compared. It is lower and it is less likely to reduce the charging time of pixels when switching.

The material pins pin_1, pin_2, ..., pin_m are half of the number of all data lines D_1, D_2, ..., D_2m in the display panel 100, so that the design complexity of the data driver 130 can be greatly reduced. In addition, the scanning rate of the display panel 100 can be maintained while reducing the total number of output data pins pin_1, pin_2, . . . , pin_m of the data driver 130 at the same time.

在本發明一實施例中,每一掃描訊號所持續的時間可包括一段預備時間,如此設計可使掃描訊號有充份時間轉態,例如低電位充電為高電位或高電位放電為低電位。 In an embodiment of the invention, the duration of each scan signal may include a period of preparation time, such that the scan signal has a sufficient time transition state, such as low potential charge to high potential or high potential discharge to low potential.

綜觀上述,運用本發明之實施例,可使資料驅動器的資料輸出腳位減少一半,而大幅降低資料驅動器的複雜度。另外,運用本發明另一實施例,可避免在減少資料驅動器的資料輸出腳位時加重資料驅動器的負載,而確保了顯示面板的畫面品質。 In view of the above, with the embodiment of the present invention, the data output pin of the data driver can be reduced by half, and the complexity of the data driver is greatly reduced. In addition, by using another embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to avoid the load of the data driver being increased when the data output pin of the data driver is reduced, and the picture quality of the display panel is ensured.
