[Prior Art] In general, liquid crystal displays have the advantages of light weight, low power consumption, low radiation, and the like. Therefore, liquid crystal displays have been widely used in various portable information products on the market, such as notebooks. And personal digital assistant (PDA) and other products. In addition, LCD screens and LCD TVs have become popular, replacing traditional cathode ray tube (CRT) displays and televisions. However, liquid crystal displays also have their disadvantages. Because of the limitation of the molecular characteristics of liquid crystals, when the image data is switched, the liquid crystal molecules must be reversed to change their alignment direction, so there is a delay of the surface. In order to respond to the rapid switching of multimedia images, the requirement for increasing the liquid crystal reaction speed is becoming more and more important. . Generally speaking, when the driving circuit drives the liquid crystal display, the driving circuit continuously receives a plurality of frame data, and then generates related tributary voltage pulse and broom line voltage according to the frame data. , timing signals, etc. ' to control the operation of the pixels of the liquid crystal display. Each of the above-mentioned frame data includes a liquid crystal display in a frame period for updating all the pixels of the frame, so that each frame data can be regarded as containing a plurality of pixels. Data, and each pixel data is used to define the grayscale state that a pixel needs to reach in a frame period. For the current liquid crystal display standard of a computer, each pixel can be 256 ( Equal to 28) switching between grayscale states, so the data length of each pixel data is equal to 8 bits 1302681 yuan 0 Ming Mai Khaotu -, ^ 罔 ^ ^ ^ /15C 0§ y?- Oy Φ ^ Timing diagram of the frame . When driving a pixel, the driving pixel data value corresponds to a plurality of pixel data for driving the pixel, and if the circuit is sequentially received for G(n+2), the driving circuit is displayed in each frame.

Because, like liquid crystal molecules, there is a delay time, the predetermined light transmittance is biased to a predetermined degree within a period of 1^ to reach the frame of frame N _ m2 is overexcited, the light is worn. The penetration rate cannot be far-reaching, and such a delayed penetration rate (four) is an ideal curve.

Accelerate the reaction speed of the liquid crystal molecules, as shown by the curve C2, the higher overtone data voltage pulse wave is used to shorten the switching time of the halogen as much as possible. However, this method shortens the time of the pixel switching, but also causes The liquid crystal molecular transmittance is too high or too low as originally expected. As shown in FIG. 2, in the case of overdrive driving, the liquid crystal molecules can reach a predetermined gray-scale state T2 within a predetermined frame period, but Excessive driving will cause its final transmittance to reach a higher T3. This overdrive method will cause the gray-scale state to be too bright or too dark. The main purpose of the present invention is therefore. A method of driving the panel in a liquid crystal display, the driving method may increase the reaction rate of the liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal display panel to reach a predetermined transmittance within a frame period, in order to solve the aforementioned conventional problems.

根據本發明之申請專利範圍’係揭露一種液晶顯不面板之 驅動方法。該液晶顯示面板包含有複數條掃瞄線、複數條資料 線,以及複數個像素。其中每一像素連接於一對應的掃瞄線以 及一對應的資料線,且每一像素包含有一開關元件以及一液晶 元件。該開關元件連接於該對應的掃瞄線、該對應的資料線以 及該液晶元件。該方法包含:連續地接收複數筆圖框資料;於 一圖框週期(frame period)内,依據該等圖框資料,針對每一 像素產生至少一個過激(over drive)資料電壓脈波和一個原 始資料電壓脈波;以及於一個圖框週期内,將所產生的該過激 資料電壓脈波與該原始資料電壓脈波,藉由該像素所連接之該 貢料線先後地施加於該像素之液晶元件。 12 1302681 根據本發明之申請專利範圍,另揭露一種液晶顯示面板之 驅動方法。該液晶顯示面板包含有複數條掃瞄線、複數條資料 線,以及複數個像素。其中每一像素連接於一對應的掃瞄線以 及一對應的資料線,且每一像素包含有一開關元件以及一液晶 元件。該開關元件連接於該對應的掃瞄線、該對應的資料線以 及該液晶元件。該驅動方法包含:接收一時脈訊號、一同步訊 號以及複數筆圖框資料;依據該時脈訊號,產生一個倍頻時脈 訊號,並依據該倍頻時脈訊號與該同步訊號,產生一個倍頻同 步訊號;依據該等圖框資料,產生至少一個過激資料電壓脈波 和一個原始資料電壓脈波;以及於一個圖框週期内,依據該倍 頻時脈訊號’將所產生的該過激貧料電壓脈波與該原始貧料電 壓脈波,先後地施加於一對應的像素之液晶元件。 【實施方式】 請參考圖三,圖三為一液晶面板1 〇之電路示意圖。液晶 面板10包含有複數條掃瞄線12、複數條資料線14以及複數 個像素16。每一像素16連接於一對應的掃瞄線12以及一對 應的資料線14,且每一像素16包含有一開關元件18以及一 液晶元件20,而一般液晶元件20會被稱作一像素電極(pixel electrode)。另外,開關元件18連接於該對應的掃瞄線12及 該對應的貢料線14 ’驅動電路會精由掃目洁線12及貢料線14 來控制每一像素16的操作。一般驅動液晶顯示器10的方法係 施加一掃瞄電壓於該掃瞄線12以開啟開關元件18,然後再藉 由該貢料線14將一貢料電壓脈波經由開關元件18寫入像素電 極2 0。因此,當掃目苗電壓被施加於掃瞒線12上而使開關元件 18開啟時,資料線14上的資料電壓脈波會經由開關元件18 對像素電極20進行充電,而使其液晶分子偏轉;而當掃瞄線 上的掃瞄電壓被移除而使得開關元件18關閉時,資料線14與 13 1302681 畫素16的電連結會被切斷,像素電極2〇則保持其被充電的狀 態。掃瞄線12會控制開關兀件18重複地開關,使得像素電極 20可重複地被資料線14充電。掃瞄線12上不同的資料線電 壓會使晝素16的液晶分子產生不同角度的偏轉,而使晝素16 呈現出不同的透光率,而如此一來,液晶顯示器1 〇即可呈現 出不同的顯示晝面。 請參考圖四,圖四為使用本發明之驅動方法處理圖框資料 之時序示意圖。在此以二倍頻率之處理情形來作說明,但本發 明之驅動方法並不侷限於使用二倍頻率,更高倍數之頻率亦可 適用。當液晶顯示面板上的像素欲從像素資料值G(n)切換到 G(n+1)時,本發明之驅動方法是在接收到輸入圖框資料G(n)、 G(n+1)、G(n+2)之後,先延遲輸入圖框資料G(n)、G(n+1)、 G(n+2)以產生相對應的延遲圖框資料,之後再比對當時的像素 資料值G(n+1)與對應的延遲像素資料值G(n),並產生一個過 激資料值0(11,11+1)。過激資料值0(11,11+1)是依據像素資料〇(11) 與G(n+1)的相對大小而定,其值可以是大於、小於或等於 G(n+1)。一般來說,當G(n+1)大於G(n)時’ G(n,n+1)會大於 G(n+1) ’ 當 G(n+1)小於 G(n)時,G(n,n+1)會小於 G(n+1),而 當G(n+1)與G(n)相等時,G(n,n+1)會等於G(n+1)。此外,對 應於其他時脈週期的過激資料、G(n+1,n+2)…等亦 可經由上述的方法來加以產生。 =明的重點在於,在產生過激資料G(n-l,n)、G(n,n+l) n+ ’ n+2)···之後,經由相關的掃瞄線驅動電路與資料線驅動 G(nTl么將應於過激資料(如·· G(n-“)、G(n,n+1) 像素,二對庫電壓脈波 的原始資料電壓脈:二?貧料(如:G(n)、G(n+1)、G(n+2)...) 及也輸出至液晶顯示面板上的像素,而其中 14 1302681 輸出過激資料電壓脈波與原始資料電壓脈波的動作必須在〜 個圖框週期内完成。因為在一個圖框週期内輸出了過激^料電 壓脈波與原始資料電壓脈波二個資料電壓脈波,所以本發明之 圖框資料輸出頻率為習知驅動方法的二倍。請再參考圖^及圖 六,圖五為未處理前的像素資料值對應於圖框之時序^,而^ 六則,經過本發明之驅動方法處理後的像素資料值對應於圖 框之時序圖。如圖五及圖六所示,當接收到的輸入像素^料值 由G(n)切換到G(n+1)、G(n+2)、G(n+3)時,經由本發明之驅 動方法處理之後,將會依序產生G(n,n+l)、G(n+i)、 G(n+1,n+2)、G(n+2)、G(n+2, n+3)、G(n+3)多個輸出像素資料 值,其中 G(n,n+1)、G(n+1,n+2)、G(n+2, n+3)是經過過激處 理之後的過激資料值,可以加速液晶分子的切換速度。在產生 過激資料值時,除了即時比對延遲圖框資料與當時圖框資料之 外,為使本發明之驅動方法處理時更加快速,亦可以預先 每-圖框貢料切換所需的較佳過激資料值 ,並建立一來數表, 之後每次圖框資料切換時則由該參數表中擷取對應的 料值來驅動對應的像素電極。 貝 請參考圖七及圖八,圖七及圖八為使用本發明之驅動方法 時液晶分子穿透率對應於圖框之時序®。®七中液晶分子係在 由由圖穿,切換至較大穿透率T2,然後維持 牙,、 中可看出,本發明之驅動方法是在一個 圖框週期内,先以—較大的過激資料值G(n,rm),將液晶分 子切換至大於T2的穿透率,然後再以原始㈣值G(n+i)^ 晶分子切換至穿透率T2。^中㈣㈣形則是在㈣ 期内液晶分子㈣透率T1切換至較大穿透率Τ2, 圖框週期内再切換至較穿透率τ2低的穿透率Τ3。在此種情形 下,本發明之動方法係在f 一侧框週期㈣内,先以 大的過激資·…,州),將液晶分子切換至大於T2的穿透 15 1302681 率,然後再以原始資料值G(n+1)將液晶分子切換至穿透率 T2,在第二個圖框週期n+2内,以一較低的過激資料值 G(n+l,n+2),將液晶分子由穿透率Τ2切換至低於T3的穿透 率,然後再以原始資料值G(n+2)將液晶分子切換至穿透率 T3。藉由依序施加過激資料值以及原始資料值至液晶面板的做 法,不但可以加速液晶分子的切換速度,而又可以精確控制最 終達到的液晶穿透率,讓使用者在觀看快速切換畫面的液晶顯 示面板時,不會感覺畫面延遲、失真或是亮度降低。 請參考圖九,圖九為實現本發明之驅動方法的一較佳驅動 電路30的方塊圖。其中,輸入界面(Iriput Interface)32會 陸續地接收輸入圖框資料,倍頻時脈產生器(cl〇ck Generator)34則是接收輸入時脈訊號,而倍頻同步訊號產生 器(Sync Generator)36則是接收垂直同步訊號與水平同步訊 號。倍頻時脈產生器34將輸入時脈訊號倍頻,並將處理後之 倍頻時脈訊號輸出給輸入界面32、倍頻同步訊號產生器36、 過激資料產生器(Over-drive Engine)42以及輸出介面 (Output Interface)44。倍頻同步訊號產生器36在接收了倍 頻時脈訊號之後’會將垂直同步訊號與水平同步訊號倍頻,並 輸出垂直倍頻同步訊號與水平倍頻同步訊號,以便驅動液晶面 板的各個掃瞄線與資料線顯示畫面時保持訊號同步。輸入界面 32接收輸入圖框資料之後,會將輸入圖框資料傳送給記憶體 控制器(Memory Controller)38進行處理。記憶體控制器38 一方面將輸入圖框資料在圖框資料暫存記憶體(Frame Buffer)40中存取,以延遲輸入圖框資料並產生一組延遲圖框 資料PRE,另一方面記憶體控制器38也輸出一組當時的圖框 資料NOW ’並將當時的圖框資料NOW與對應的延遲圖框資料pre 傳送至過激資料產生器42。過激資料產生器42會依據當時的 圖框資料NOW與對應的延遲圖框資料PRE,從預先建立的參數 16 1302681 表中擷取對應的過激資料值,並依據倍頻時脈訊號將過激資料 值與原始資料值依序輸出至輸出介面44。輸出介面44在倍頻 的情況下,一方面會依序輸出過激資料值與原始資料值至液晶 面板上的各個掃瞄線驅動電路與資料線驅動電路,以產生過激 資料電壓脈波與原始資料電壓脈波至對應的像素之液晶元 件,另一方面也會輸出倍頻時脈訊號至液晶面板的各個掃瞄線 驅動電路與資料線驅動電路。 相較於習知的液晶面板之驅動方法,本發明係揭露一種新 的驅動方法,而於每一圖框週期内,在液晶面板的每一像素上 施加一過激資料電壓脈波以及一原始資料電壓脈波,以快速地 改變像素電極的液晶分子透光率。因此,依據本發明據以實施 之液晶顯示器,因一圖框週期内被施予至少一個過激資料電壓 脈波以及一個原始資料電壓脈波,而可加速其液晶分子的扭 轉,故其在一個圖框週期内即可完成灰階的轉換,且不會有晝 面延遲、殘影、失真或是亮度降低的情況發生。此外,本發明 之驅動方法使用倍頻方式輸出過激資料電壓脈波以及原始資 料電壓脈波,其過激資料值產生方式與習知類似,可以沿用習 知之過激資料產生器而不增加額外成本。 以上所述僅為本發明之較佳實施例,凡依本發明申請專利 範圍所做之均等變化與修飾,皆應屬本發明專利之涵蓋範圍。 【圖式簡單說明】 圖式之簡單說明 圖一為習知液晶顯示器中像素資料值對應於圖框之時序 圖。 圖二為習知像素之穿透率對應於圖框之時序圖。 17 1302681 圖二為液晶面板之電路示意圖。 圖四為本發明之驅動方法處理圖框貢料之時序圖。 圖五為未經本發明之驅動方法處理前的像素資料值對應於 圖框之時序圖。 圖六為經過本發明之驅動方法處理後的像素資料值對應於 圖框之時序圖。 圖七與圖八為使用本發明之驅動方法時液晶分子穿透率對 應於圖框之時序圖。 圖九為實現本發明之驅動方法之較佳電路的方塊圖。 圖式之符號說明 10 液晶面板 12 掃猫線 14 資料線 16 像素 18 開關元件 20 液晶元件 30 驅動電路 32 輸入界面 34 倍頻時脈訊號產生 器 36 倍頻同步訊號產生 器 38 記憶體控制器 40 圖框資料 42 過激貢料產生器 44 輸出界面 18The patent application scope according to the present invention discloses a driving method of a liquid crystal display panel. The liquid crystal display panel includes a plurality of scan lines, a plurality of data lines, and a plurality of pixels. Each of the pixels is connected to a corresponding scan line and a corresponding data line, and each pixel includes a switching element and a liquid crystal element. The switching element is coupled to the corresponding scan line, the corresponding data line, and the liquid crystal element. The method comprises: continuously receiving a plurality of frame data; generating, in a frame period, at least one over drive data voltage pulse and a primitive for each pixel according to the frame period a data voltage pulse wave; and in the frame period, the generated excitation data voltage pulse wave and the original data voltage pulse wave, the tributary line connected by the pixel is sequentially applied to the liquid crystal of the pixel element. 12 1302681 According to the patent application scope of the present invention, a driving method of a liquid crystal display panel is further disclosed. The liquid crystal display panel includes a plurality of scan lines, a plurality of data lines, and a plurality of pixels. Each of the pixels is connected to a corresponding scan line and a corresponding data line, and each pixel includes a switching element and a liquid crystal element. The switching element is coupled to the corresponding scan line, the corresponding data line, and the liquid crystal element. The driving method includes: receiving a clock signal, a synchronization signal, and a plurality of frame data; generating a frequency doubling clock signal according to the clock signal, and generating a multiple according to the frequency doubling clock signal and the synchronization signal a frequency synchronization signal; according to the frame data, generating at least one overtone data voltage pulse and a raw data voltage pulse; and in the frame period, according to the frequency doubling clock signal, the generated excessive The material voltage pulse wave and the original poor material voltage pulse wave are successively applied to the liquid crystal elements of a corresponding pixel. [Embodiment] Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a circuit diagram of a liquid crystal panel 1 . The liquid crystal panel 10 includes a plurality of scanning lines 12, a plurality of data lines 14, and a plurality of pixels 16. Each pixel 16 is connected to a corresponding scan line 12 and a corresponding data line 14, and each pixel 16 includes a switching element 18 and a liquid crystal element 20, and the liquid crystal element 20 is generally referred to as a pixel electrode ( Pixel electrode). In addition, the switching element 18 is coupled to the corresponding scan line 12 and the corresponding tributary line 14' drive circuit to control the operation of each pixel 16 by the scan line 12 and the tribute line 14. Generally, the method of driving the liquid crystal display 10 applies a scan voltage to the scan line 12 to turn on the switching element 18, and then writes a tributary voltage pulse wave to the pixel electrode 20 via the switching element 18 through the tributary line 14. . Therefore, when the sweeping voltage is applied to the broom line 12 to turn on the switching element 18, the data voltage pulse on the data line 14 charges the pixel electrode 20 via the switching element 18, thereby deflecting the liquid crystal molecules. When the scan voltage on the scan line is removed and the switching element 18 is turned off, the electrical connection between the data line 14 and the 13 1302681 pixel 16 is cut off, and the pixel electrode 2 保持 maintains its charged state. The scan line 12 controls the switch element 18 to repeatedly switch so that the pixel electrode 20 can be repeatedly charged by the data line 14. The different data line voltages on the scan line 12 cause the liquid crystal molecules of the halogen 16 to be deflected at different angles, so that the halogen 16 exhibits different light transmittance, and thus the liquid crystal display 1 can be presented. Different display faces. Please refer to FIG. 4, which is a timing diagram of processing the frame data by using the driving method of the present invention. Here, the processing situation of the double frequency is explained, but the driving method of the present invention is not limited to the use of the double frequency, and the frequency of the higher multiple is also applicable. When the pixel on the liquid crystal display panel is to be switched from the pixel data value G(n) to G(n+1), the driving method of the present invention receives the input frame data G(n), G(n+1). After G(n+2), delay the input frame data G(n), G(n+1), G(n+2) to generate the corresponding delay frame data, and then compare the pixels at that time. The data value G(n+1) and the corresponding delayed pixel data value G(n), and an overdrive data value of 0 (11, 11+1). The overtone data value 0 (11, 11+1) is determined by the relative size of the pixel data 〇(11) and G(n+1), and the value may be greater than, less than or equal to G(n+1). In general, when G(n+1) is greater than G(n), 'G(n,n+1) will be greater than G(n+1)'. When G(n+1) is less than G(n), G (n, n+1) will be smaller than G(n+1), and when G(n+1) is equal to G(n), G(n, n+1) will be equal to G(n+1). Further, excessive data, G(n+1, n+2), etc. corresponding to other clock cycles can also be generated by the above method. = The key point is that after generating the overdrive data G(nl,n), G(n,n+l) n+ 'n+2)···, drive the G and the data line via the relevant scan line driver circuit ( nTl will be based on excessive data (such as ···G(n-“), G(n,n+1) pixels, two pairs of library voltage pulse wave of the original data voltage pulse: two? poor material (such as: G (n ), G(n+1), G(n+2)...) and also output to the pixels on the liquid crystal display panel, and the action of 14 1302681 output overexcited data voltage pulse wave and original data voltage pulse must be ~ The frame period is completed. Because the data voltage pulse wave and the original data voltage pulse wave are outputted in one frame period, the output frequency of the frame data of the present invention is a conventional driving method. Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 6 again. FIG. 5 shows the pixel data value before unprocessed corresponds to the timing of the frame ^, and ^6, the pixel data value processed by the driving method of the present invention corresponds to The timing chart of the frame.

When the panel is used, it does not feel the picture delay, distortion, or brightness reduction. Referring to Figure 9, Figure 9 is a block diagram of a preferred driver circuit 30 for implementing the driving method of the present invention. The input interface (Iriput Interface) 32 successively receives the input frame data, and the multi-frequency clock generator (cl〇ck Generator) 34 receives the input clock signal, and the Sync Generator (Sync Generator) 36 is to receive the vertical sync signal and the horizontal sync signal. The frequency multiplier generator 34 multiplies the input clock signal, and outputs the processed multiplied clock signal to the input interface 32, the multiplied synchronization signal generator 36, and the over-drive engine 42. And an output interface 44. After receiving the multiplied clock signal, the multi-frequency synchronous signal generator 36 multiplies the vertical synchronizing signal and the horizontal synchronizing signal, and outputs a vertical multi-frequency synchronizing signal and a horizontal multi-frequency synchronizing signal to drive each sweep of the liquid crystal panel. The signal is synchronized with the data line when the data line is displayed. Input interface 32 After receiving the input frame data, the input frame data is transferred to the memory controller 38 for processing. The memory controller 38 accesses the input frame data in the frame data buffer (Frame Buffer) 40 to delay input of the frame data and generate a set of delayed frame data PRE, and on the other hand, the memory The controller 38 also outputs a set of current frame data NOW 'and transmits the current frame material NOW and the corresponding delay frame data pre to the overdrive data generator 42.

The original data values are sequentially output to the output interface 44. In the case of frequency multiplication, the output interface 44 outputs the over-excited data value and the original data value to each of the scan line driving circuit and the data line driving circuit on the liquid crystal panel in order to generate the over-excited data voltage pulse wave and the original data. The voltage pulse wave reaches the liquid crystal element of the corresponding pixel, and on the other hand, the multiplied clock signal is output to each of the scan line driving circuit and the data line driving circuit of the liquid crystal panel. Compared with the conventional driving method of the liquid crystal panel, the present invention discloses a new driving method, and applies an excessive data voltage pulse wave and a raw material on each pixel of the liquid crystal panel in each frame period. The voltage pulse wave is used to rapidly change the transmittance of the liquid crystal molecules of the pixel electrode. Therefore, the liquid crystal display according to the present invention can accelerate the twist of the liquid crystal molecules by applying at least one over-excited data voltage pulse wave and a raw data voltage pulse wave in a frame period. The grayscale conversion can be completed in the frame period without the occurrence of kneading delay, afterimage, distortion or brightness reduction. In addition, the driving method of the present invention uses the frequency doubling method to output the over-excited data voltage pulse wave and the original data voltage pulse wave, and the over-excited data value is generated in a similar manner to the conventional data source without using the extra-excess data generator. The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and all changes and modifications made to the scope of the patent application of the present invention should be covered by the present invention.
