隨著光電與半導體技術的演進,帶動了顯示面板之蓬勃發展。在諸多顯示器中,平面顯示器近來已被廣泛地使用,並取代陰極射線管(Cathode Ray Tube,CRT)顯示器成為下一代顯示器的主流。以液晶顯示面板為例,其主要是由主動元件陣列基板、對向基板以及夾於主動元件陣列基板與對向基板之間的顯示介質層所構成,其中主動元件陣列基板具有複數個陣列排列之畫素,而每一畫素包括主動元件以及與主動元件電性連接之畫素電極。 With the evolution of optoelectronics and semiconductor technology, the display panel has been booming. Among many displays, flat panel displays have recently been widely used, and replace cathode ray tube (CRT) displays as the mainstream of next generation displays. For example, the liquid crystal display panel is mainly composed of an active device array substrate, an opposite substrate, and a display medium layer sandwiched between the active device array substrate and the opposite substrate, wherein the active device array substrate has a plurality of array arrays. A pixel, and each pixel includes an active element and a pixel electrode electrically connected to the active element.

為了外表上的美觀效果以及特殊的視覺感受,現今一種趨勢是使顯示面板符合窄邊框的設計需求。然而,由於使用者對於畫面品質的要求越來越高,畫面的解析度也越來越高,因此,設置在周邊電路區中的導電線路也勢必越來越多而難以達成窄邊框的設計需求,因此要如何兼顧顯示畫面的品質以及窄邊框的設計需求,實為本領 域技術人員亟欲追求的目標。 In order to have an aesthetic appearance and a special visual experience, a trend today is to make the display panel meet the design requirements of a narrow bezel. However, as the user's requirements for picture quality are getting higher and higher, and the resolution of the picture is getting higher and higher, the conductive lines disposed in the peripheral circuit area are also bound to be more and more difficult to achieve the design requirements of the narrow frame. Therefore, how to balance the quality of the display screen and the design requirements of the narrow bezel is a goal that those skilled in the art are eager to pursue.

本揭示內容之一態樣是提供一種畫素陣列,其包含複數個資料線、複數個掃描線與複數個畫素單元。資料線沿第一方向延伸,並包含第一資料線。掃描線沿第二方向延伸,並包含依序的第一掃描線與第二掃描線。第二方向相異於第一方向。畫素單元當中之第一畫素單元包含第一畫素電極、第二畫素電極、第一開關元件與第二開關元件。第一開關元件具有閘極、源極與汲極。第一開關元件之閘極電性耦接該第一掃描線,第一開關元件之源極電性耦接該第一資料線,第一開關元件之汲極電性耦接第一畫素電極。第二開關元件具有閘極、源極與汲極,第二開關元件之源極電性耦接第一畫素電極,第二開關元件之閘極電性耦接該第二掃描線。第二畫素電極電性耦接第二開關元件之汲極。 One aspect of the present disclosure is to provide a pixel array comprising a plurality of data lines, a plurality of scan lines, and a plurality of pixel units. The data line extends in the first direction and includes the first data line. The scan line extends in the second direction and includes the first scan line and the second scan line in sequence. The second direction is different from the first direction. The first pixel unit of the pixel unit includes a first pixel electrode, a second pixel electrode, a first switching element, and a second switching element. The first switching element has a gate, a source and a drain. The gate of the first switching element is electrically coupled to the first scan line, the source of the first switching element is electrically coupled to the first data line, and the drain of the first switching element is electrically coupled to the first pixel electrode . The second switching element has a gate, a source and a drain. The source of the second switching element is electrically coupled to the first pixel electrode, and the gate of the second switching element is electrically coupled to the second scanning line. The second pixel electrode is electrically coupled to the drain of the second switching element.

本揭示內容之另一態樣是提供一種驅動方法,用於驅動畫素陣列。驅動方法包含以下步驟。提供畫素陣列包含資料線、複數掃描線、複數個畫素單元,資料線沿第一方向延伸,掃描線沿第二方向延伸。第二方向相異於第一方向。該些畫素單元之一畫素單元包含第一畫素電極、第二畫素電極、第一開關元件與第二開關元件。第二畫素電極與第一畫素電極沿第一方向排列,第二開關元件與第一開關元件沿第一方向排列。第一開關元件電性耦接 第一畫素電極,第二開關元件電性耦接於第一畫素電極與第二畫素電極。提供複數掃描訊號以同時開啟第一開關元件與第二開關元件。當第一開關元件與第二開關元件開啟時,將資料線之第一資料訊號傳送至第二畫素電極。關閉第二開關元件,並傳送資料線之第二資料訊號至第一畫素電極。 Another aspect of the present disclosure is to provide a driving method for driving a pixel array. The driver method consists of the following steps. The pixel array is provided with a data line, a plurality of scan lines, and a plurality of pixel units, wherein the data lines extend in a first direction, and the scan lines extend in a second direction. The second direction is different from the first direction. One of the pixel units of the pixel unit includes a first pixel electrode, a second pixel electrode, a first switching element, and a second switching element.

Therefore, when the gate line transmits a signal to the scan line, the potentials of the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode are not affected. In addition, the second switching element can be electrically coupled to the first pixel electrode via the via hole without being connected to the first switching element through other layer materials having a higher resistance value, thereby reducing the resistance of the cross pixel trace. value.

Therefore, when the gate lines Tn to Tn+2 transmit signals to the scanning lines Gn-1 to Gn+1, the potentials of the first pixel electrode 111 and the second pixel electrode 112 are not affected. In addition, the second switching element M2 is electrically coupled to the first pixel electrode 111 via the via hole V2, and is not coupled to the first switching element M1 through other layer materials having a higher resistance value, thereby reducing cross-pixel pixels.
