Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an active photoelectric element structure and a driving method thereof, wherein an asymmetric diode configuration is used in a single pixel, and an upper/lower pixel sharing option is used. The signal line, with the corresponding driving voltage, achieves the purpose of controlling the voltage and driving the liquid crystal to rotate. [Prior Art] Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display (TFT LCD) compared to twisted nematic (Twisted-Nematic; TN), super-twisted steering column

(Supertwisted-Nematic; STN)等液晶顯示器(LCD),因 TFT LCD為主動式驅動,所以具有省電、畫質佳、響應速度快 等優點,故逐漸成為液晶顯示器中的主流。 但,由於正常薄膜電晶體陣列基板(TFT array)的製程 最少需要五道光罩來完成,於是陣列(array)基板的製造成 本會高於傳統被動式驅動的液晶顯示器(LCD)。 於是有人就開始發展利用金屬-絕緣體-金屬 (Metal-Insulator-Metal ; MIM)薄膜二極體(Thin Film Diode ; TFD)的方式來取代薄膜電晶體(TFT)的角色,TFD 技術是由精工和愛普生公司開發出來,專門用在手機螢幕 上。它是TFT和STN的折衷’比STN的亮度和色彩飽和 度更好,也比TFT省電。最大特點是無論在關閉背光(反 射模式)或打開背光(透射模式)條件下都能提供高晝質、 易觀看的顯示,並具有低功耗、高晝質、高反應速度等優 1295458Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) such as (Supertwisted-Nematic; STN), because of the active driving of TFT LCD, have the advantages of power saving, good picture quality, fast response, etc., and thus gradually become the mainstream in liquid crystal displays. However, since the process of a normal thin film transistor array (TFT array) requires at least five masks to be completed, the cost of the array substrate is higher than that of a conventional passively driven liquid crystal display (LCD). Then some people began to develop the role of thin film transistor (TFT) by using Metal-Insulator-Metal (MIM) Thin Film Diode (TFD), which is made by Seiko and Developed by Epson, it is used exclusively on mobile screens. It is a compromise between TFT and STN, which is better than STN's brightness and color saturation, and also saves power than TFT. The biggest feature is that it can provide high-quality, easy-to-view display without turning off the backlight (reflective mode) or turning on the backlight (transmission mode), and has low power consumption, high quality, high response speed, etc. 1295458

Each pixel (Pixel) uses only the pixel capacitor of the pixel as a storage device for the real material: “This allows the active drive liquid crystal display (LCD) to be completed. The way. Compared with the TFT process, the MIM process can be completed with only 2~3 masks, which has a very high cost advantage. However, the conventional MIM LCD has a problem that the gray scale is difficult to control and the image remains. Therefore, U.S. Patent No. 6,222,596 proposes a symmetrical metal-insulator-metal diode (MIM diodes) in each pixel (Pixel). The configuration method uses two scanning lines to drive a pixel, which improves the shortcomings of the conventional MIM LCD gray scale, which is difficult to control and image sticking. In US Pat. No. 6,222,596, each pixel structure in each row of pixels is shown in FIG. 1 , and each pixel includes a common electrode 9 and a halogen electrode 8 , and a liquid crystal layer 7 located in the two electrodes of the common electrode 9 φ, and two sets of gold lips symmetrical to a contact 12, insulator-metal diodes 10, 11, and connected to the common electrode 9.

Based on the design rule, the US I295458 uses 22,596 pairs of selected signal lines (4) (10) lineS) 2 areas, ^4 elements, will be The effective illuminating rate of each pixel is relatively reduced. In addition, the number of overall running lines is increased, and it will be one in the subsequent =10 (bond) process. Troubled because: » With k more 1C can control all the circuits, also need a larger area 2 can have enough space to design the control circuit, so * only on the circuit. And the mouth Hx is complex, affecting the manufacturing yield The required ic parts must also increase 'relatively required process cost'. [Inventive content] 爰疋, the main purpose of the present invention is to share a strip through the asymmetric two sets of thin film ones and upper/lower ones. Selecting the configuration of the signal line, with the corresponding driving voltage, can reduce the number of channds by half, compared to the traditional way of using a pair of selective signal lines to drive a pixel, because the number of running lines is reduced. The required number of ICs is also reduced, which is also convenient for the subsequent 1C soldering process of the panel, effectively reducing the required process cost, reducing the difficulty in the process, and reducing the complexity of the design. It is an object of the present invention to effectively reduce the number of running lines. The overall aperture ratio and resolution can be improved by reducing the number of running lines. A further object of the present invention is to effectively reduce the present invention. The number of running lines does not have the conventional two-choice signal lines juxtaposed, and there may be problems of incomplete etching, which can improve the process yield.

The other end of the first thin film diode is connected to the selected signal line, and the other end of the second thin film diode is connected to the selected signal line of the next horizontal pixel to form an upper/lower pixel sharing a selection signal. Line configuration. The driving mode is that the selection signal on the selection signal line is a positive/negative voltage value, and the maximum value and the minimum value of the absolute value of the positive/negative voltage value are the same as the multiple value; that is, the ratio of the positive/negative voltage value The absolute value is the same as the multiple of the second film and the first film diode or the reciprocal of the multiple.

There is also a set of first thin film diodes 44 and a set of second thin film diodes 45, and the electrical load resistance value of the second thin film diodes 45 is a multiple of the multiple of the first thin film diodes 44. And the value of the multiple is U, that is, the electrical load resistance value of the second thin film diode 45 is more than one time 'more than five times the first thin film diode 44'. The first thin film diode 44 and the second thin film diode 45 are connected to a node 46'. The halogen electrode 42 is also connected to the node 46. a selection signal line 210, the selection signal line 21〇 and the data line 3忉: mutually perpendicular; wherein the first film diode 44 is further connected to the selection line 210, and the second film diode The other end of the 45 is connected to the selection signal line 220 of the next * column 120 to form a configuration in which the up/down 昼 素 120 shares a selected signal line 22 。.

That is, taking the absolute value of the positive voltage and the absolute value of the negative voltage, and the ratio of the maximum value to the minimum value of the two absolute values, and the electrical load impedance between the second thin film diode 45 and the first thin film diode 44 The value of the value is the same. The invention applies the MIM varistor diode to drive each element of the AMLCD, and the single element is controlled by a pair of selected signal lines and a data line, and the electrical load impedance value of the second film diode 45 is The first thin film diode 44 is an asymmetrical form having a value of about 1 time or more and a multiple of 5 times or less, and the voltage is controlled by the change in the structural characteristics of the MIM diode to drive the liquid crystal to rotate. As shown in "Figure 3", when the selected signal lines 210 and 220 of the first pixel 110 are input to the selection signal SN_i and the SN drives the first pixel 1Γ0, the data signal of the data line 310 (Data) The input can drive the first element 110 to operate. When the second element 120 is to be driven, it is driven by the selection of the I295458 selection signals sN and sN+1 on the selection signal lines 220 and 230 of the second element 120. Therefore, the selection signal of the selected signal line accepted by the first thin film diode 44 in the driving aspect depends on the selection signal of the selected signal line under the previous element, that is, each pixel is driven. When the data signal is input, one of the first thin film diodes 44 is provided for the upper level selection signal line, and the other end of the second thin film diode 44 is supplied to the next pixel. Used when driving. Please refer to Fig. 4, which is the first embodiment of the present invention. For example, the electrical load impedance value of the second thin film diode 45 is three times the value of the first film diode. The driving mode according to the present invention is to select the positive/negative voltage of the signal on the selected signal line. The maximum value and the minimum value of the absolute value of the value are the same as the value of the multiple value. The positive voltage value of the selection signal is 10V, and the negative voltage value is _30V. Therefore, when the voltage of the selection signal I on the τι select signal line 21〇 is 丄, the selection signal SN voltage on the +'° hole number line 220 is _3〇v, because the first film diode 44 is The characteristics of the single-element large 1 of the second thin film diode 45 are the same, so that the two sets of thin film diodes form an average partial voltage state, and the voltage of the node 仏 will be 0V. When the data signal 31〇 is input to the voltage of 3V at the τι day, the voltage difference between the common electrode 43 and the halogen electrode 42 is generated. The voltage difference of 3V will cause the pixel to be sandwiched between the two. The rotation of the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer 41 between the electrode 43 and the halogen electrode 42 is simultaneously selected as the signal 以下v below the signal line 230. At the time T2, the selection signal voltage on the signal line 22 is (4), and the selection signal on the signal line 230 is called the voltage, so the voltage of the node 46 in the pixel 12〇 will be 〇 v. When the data signal 11 1295458 310 inputs a voltage of -3V at the time T2, a voltage difference of 3V is generated between the common electrode 43 of the halogen 120 below the halogen element 110 and the halogen electrode 42. The same voltage difference also causes the rotation of the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer 41. At the same time, the voltage of the selection signal SN-1 of the signal line 210 is selected to be 0V, and the node 46 and the common electrode 43 in the halogen element 110 still have a voltage difference of 3V, so the halogen element 110 remains on the upper side. Please refer to Fig. 5 for a schematic view of a second example of the present invention. For example, the electrical load resistance value of the second thin film diode 45 is three times that of the first thin film diode. The driving method according to the present invention is to select the signal on the selected signal line. The maximum value and the minimum value of the absolute value of the positive/negative voltage value are the same as the multiple value. The negative voltage value of the selection signal is -10V, and the positive voltage value is 30V. Therefore, when the T1 time point is selected, the voltage of the selection signal SN_i on the signal line 210 is -10V, and the voltage of the selection signal SN on the selection signal line 220 is 30V, because the first film diode 44 and the second film diode are The single component of the body 45 has the same characteristics, so the two component groups form an average voltage division state, and the voltage of the node 46 will be 0V. When the data signal 310 is input with a voltage of 3V at the time T1, a voltage difference of 3V is generated between the common electrode 43 and the halogen electrode 42. The voltage difference of 3V will cause the pixel 110 to be sandwiched between the common electrode 43 and the picture. The rotation of the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer 41 between the element electrodes 42 simultaneously selects the signals below the signal line 230 to be 0V. At the time T2, the selection signal SN voltage on the signal line 220 is -10V, and the selection signal SN+1 voltage on the selection signal line 230 is 30V, so the voltage of the node 46 in the pixel 120 will be 0V. When the data message 12 1295458 310 enters the voltage of -3V at the time T2, it is located at the pixel 110.

' 下方之畫素120的共電極43與晝素電極42間就產生3V : 的電壓差,此3V的電壓差相同的也造成液晶層41内液晶 : 分子的旋轉。在此同時選擇訊號線210之選擇訊號SN-i電 壓為0V,晝素110内之節點46與共電極43仍會保存有 3V的電壓差,所以晝素11〇依然保持上一個晝面。 綜合前述之結構與驅動方式,本發明整個電路設計上A voltage difference of 3V : is generated between the common electrode 43 of the pixel 120 below and the halogen electrode 42 . The same voltage difference of 3 V also causes the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer 41 to rotate. At the same time, the selection signal SN-i voltage of the signal line 210 is selected to be 0V, and the node 46 and the common electrode 43 in the halogen element 110 still have a voltage difference of 3V, so the pixel 11〇 remains the same. Combining the foregoing structure and driving method, the entire circuit design of the present invention
