Description of the invention (1) [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a transparent conductive electrode of a dot matrix liquid crystal display: ^ ^ The problem of contrast differences between liquid crystal display screens, reducing the display panel circuit Cloth: cause layout) design difficulty. Circuit layout ([Previous technology] City π == R & D growth of display, ▲ is the focus of the information network and communication market. Depending on the driving method, it can be two types of voltage driving type, such as polar body current driving type. The application products are twisted = nematic liquid crystal flat panel display (TN_LCD), super twisted nematic liquid crystal display (STN-LCD) and thin film transistor liquid crystal flat panel display (tft_ LCD). It is an organic electroluminescent flat display (0LED / PLED). Generally speaking, the product function design of the drive IC of a flat display varies with different flat display applications. It is applied to thin film transistor liquid crystal flat displays (TFTs). -LCD) drive 1C can generally be divided into source IC (Source 1C) and gate IC (Gate 1C), which are located in the horizontal (X axis) and vertical (γ axis) of the panel, respectively. Applying different voltage values to each pixel to complete the color gradation control and produce a color display function. STN-LCD actuates 1C because there are fewer channels.

第5頁 591591 五、發明說明(2) 一起,因此STN - LCD 的驅動 1C 一 般稱為 LCD Control Drivep 但,目前液晶顯示器(LCD )之透明導電電極佈局( layout ),因為要求線阻抗一致,故依透明導電電極走線 長短不同,而線寬亦有所不同。反之,如果線寬一致時, 阻抗便有所差異,進而液晶顯示之對比將有差異問題。Page 5 591591 V. Description of the invention (2) Together, the STN-LCD driver 1C is generally called LCD Control Drivep. However, at present, the transparent conductive electrode layout of liquid crystal displays (LCDs) requires the same line impedance, so Depending on the length of the transparent conductive electrode traces, the line width also varies. Conversely, if the line widths are the same, the impedance will be different, and the contrast of the liquid crystal display will be different.
為解決上述之液晶顯示對比將有差異問題,中華民國 專利第30 1 737號之「液晶顯示裝置及其驅動方法」,該液 晶顯示裝置之驅動波形補償係針對數據段(segment )信號 失真(distortion )問題進行補償,補償方式為對數據線 驅動器(segment driver )送出補償信號。當data (資料 )’’on (開)送出 off (關)’’位準,data (資料)n〇ff (關)π送出n on (開)π位準。但其僅針對數據段( segment )信號失真(distortion)問題進行補償。In order to solve the above-mentioned differences in liquid crystal display contrast, the "liquid crystal display device and driving method thereof" of the Republic of China Patent No. 30 1 737, the driving waveform compensation of the liquid crystal display device is directed to the distortion of the segment signal. ) To compensate for the problem. The compensation method is to send a compensation signal to the data line driver (segment driver). When data''on 'sends off' 'level, data' nff 'sends n on π level. But it only compensates for the problem of signal distortion of the data segment.
又,中華民國專利第3949 1 9號之「液晶顯示裝置及其 驅動方法」,液晶顯示裝置驅動波形補償,針對Μ信號反轉 ,導致數據段(segment)信號串連至共極線(comm〇n)電 極,補償方式:需於共極線(common )側邊佈局(丨ayou t )一偵測電極,再將此訊號耦合至反向放大器上,然後送 至數據段(segment )輸出。但缺點為結構複雜,成本高。 該’中華民國專利第473630號之「液晶顯示裝置之驅 動裝置及驅動方法」,该液晶顯不裝置驅動波形之補償, 係針對ε ||及ε丄不同,導致共通電極驅動波形失真,其補 償方式係依據掃描線上點亮的畫素(p i X e 1 )數來決定共通In addition, the "liquid crystal display device and its driving method" of the Republic of China Patent No. 3949 199, the driving waveform compensation of the liquid crystal display device, for the M signal inversion, resulting in the data segment (segment) signals connected in series to the common pole (comm. n) Electrode, compensation method: a detection electrode needs to be arranged on the common side (丨 ayou t), and then this signal is coupled to the inverting amplifier, and then sent to the segment output. However, the disadvantages are complex structure and high cost. The "Republic of China Patent No. 473630" Driving device and driving method of liquid crystal display device ", the compensation of the driving waveform of the liquid crystal display device is for ε || and ε 丄, which causes the common electrode driving waveform to be distorted, and its compensation The method is based on the number of pixels (pi X e 1) lit on the scan line to determine the common
