畫素單元之驅動電路及其驅動方法Driving circuit of pixel unit and driving method thereof

本發明是關於一種畫素單元,且特別是關於一種畫素單元之驅動電路及其驅動方法。The present invention relates to a pixel unit, and more particularly to a driving circuit of a pixel unit and a driving method thereof.

液晶顯示器之驅動方法為透過改變液晶層兩端的電壓,來控制液晶的旋轉角度,進而改變光的極化方向。液晶層兩端分別耦接畫素電極及共用電極,畫素電極上的電壓隨畫素信號而改變,而共用電極則耦接共用電壓。依據施加在液晶層的電場方向,液晶顯示器之驅動方法可分為正極性驅動及負極性驅動。當畫素電極的電壓高於共用電壓時,則稱之為正極性驅動,而當畫素電極的電壓低於共用電壓時,則稱之為負極性驅動。The driving method of the liquid crystal display is to control the rotation angle of the liquid crystal by changing the voltage across the liquid crystal layer, thereby changing the polarization direction of the light. The two ends of the liquid crystal layer are respectively coupled to the pixel electrode and the common electrode. The voltage on the pixel electrode changes with the pixel signal, and the common electrode is coupled to the common voltage. According to the direction of the electric field applied to the liquid crystal layer, the driving method of the liquid crystal display can be classified into a positive polarity driving and a negative polarity driving. When the voltage of the pixel electrode is higher than the common voltage, it is called positive polarity driving, and when the voltage of the pixel electrode is lower than the common voltage, it is called negative polarity driving.

對液晶層兩端施加不同電場方向的相同電壓差,不會影響液晶的透光率。倘若施加於液晶層的電場方向恆為正或者恆為負,長久下來便會使得液晶品質劣化而無法順暢地因應電場變化而轉動,此現象稱之為液晶極化。為了避免液晶極化的現象發生,必需在不同的時間交替使用不同極性的電壓來驅動液晶,也就是以「極性反轉」的方式來驅動。一般極性反轉的方式有畫框反轉(frame inversion)、點反轉(dot inversion)及線反轉(line inversion)。Applying the same voltage difference in different electric field directions to both ends of the liquid crystal layer does not affect the transmittance of the liquid crystal. If the direction of the electric field applied to the liquid crystal layer is always positive or constant, the liquid crystal quality is deteriorated over a long period of time and cannot be smoothly rotated in response to the electric field change. This phenomenon is called liquid crystal polarization. In order to avoid the phenomenon of liquid crystal polarization, it is necessary to alternately use voltages of different polarities to drive the liquid crystal at different times, that is, to drive in a "polarity inversion" manner. The general polarity inversion methods include frame inversion, dot inversion, and line inversion.

對畫框反轉而言,同一畫面期間內畫素陣列的液晶為以相同極性的電壓來驅動,而在兩個連續畫面期間,畫素陣列的液晶為以不同極性的電壓來驅動。由於極性反轉的 轉換時間以畫面期間為單位,因此畫框反轉的驅動方法較為省電,且適用於攜帶式電子裝置,例如:手機或個人數位助理(Personal Digital Assistant, PDA)。然而,當極性反轉的驅動電壓不對稱或者轉換速度不夠快時,人眼便會察覺到畫面閃爍。為了解決上述問題,一般會採用畫框緩衝器(frame buffer)來預先儲存畫素信號,以提高畫框率,但是也相對地提高液晶顯示器的製造成本。For frame inversion, the liquid crystals of the pixel array during the same picture period are driven with voltages of the same polarity, and during two consecutive pictures, the liquid crystals of the pixel array are driven with voltages of different polarities. Due to polarity reversal The conversion time is in units of the picture period, so the driving method of the picture frame inversion is more power-saving, and is suitable for portable electronic devices, such as a mobile phone or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). However, when the driving voltage of the polarity inversion is asymmetrical or the switching speed is not fast enough, the human eye perceives the flickering of the screen. In order to solve the above problem, a frame buffer is generally used to pre-store a pixel signal to increase the frame rate, but the manufacturing cost of the liquid crystal display is relatively increased.

本發明提出一種畫素單元之驅動電路與畫素單元之驅動方法,其將不同的畫素信號分別儲存於儲存單元之中,並透過開關的切換將畫素信號傳送至畫素電極,以顯示畫素資料。藉此,無需額外的畫框緩衝器來儲存畫素信號,便可有效地提高畫框率,以及避免畫面閃爍的情形發生。The invention provides a driving circuit of a pixel unit and a driving method of a pixel unit, wherein different pixel signals are respectively stored in the storage unit, and the pixel signal is transmitted to the pixel electrode through the switching of the switch to display Pixel information. Thereby, no additional frame buffer is needed to store the pixel signal, thereby effectively increasing the frame rate and avoiding the flickering of the picture.

對極性反轉之驅動方式而言,各畫素單元必須在不同時間下交替地以不同極性的電壓來驅動,以避免液晶極化的現象發生,例如在不同週期期間以正負極性相反之驅動電壓交替地施予畫素單元。相反極性的驅動電壓通常以一畫面期間為單位時間做切換,例如在目前畫面期間內,畫素單元以正極性電壓驅動,則下一畫面期間,畫素單元便以負極性電壓來驅動。以下配合時序圖說明本實施例之運作,以實現高畫框率之極性反轉驅動。For the polarity inversion driving method, each pixel unit must be alternately driven with voltages of different polarities at different times to avoid the phenomenon of liquid crystal polarization, for example, driving voltages with opposite positive and negative polarities during different periods. The pixel unit is alternately applied. The driving voltage of the opposite polarity is usually switched in units of one picture period. For example, in the current picture period, the pixel unit is driven with a positive polarity voltage, and the pixel unit is driven with a negative polarity voltage during the next picture period. The operation of this embodiment will be described below in conjunction with a timing chart to achieve a high frame rate polarity inversion drive.

圖2為本發明實施例圖1中畫素單元之驅動電路的時序圖。為了便於敘述,圖2中畫素電極Pi所接收的正極性及負極性畫素信號分別以+V及-V表示之。請參照圖1 及圖2,在畫面期間P21時,對應面板上其一掃描線的掃描控制信號Scan1致能,使可寫入開關T11、T12導通。此時,正極性畫素信號+V經由資料線D11及導通之可寫入開關T11,而儲存於儲存單元C11。同時,負極性畫素信號-V經由資料線D12及導通之可寫入開關T12,而儲存於儲存單元C12。當經過足夠的儲存時間後,掃描控制信號Scan1取消致能,使可寫入開關T11、T12不導通。2 is a timing diagram of a driving circuit of the pixel unit of FIG. 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. For convenience of description, the positive polarity and negative polarity pixel signals received by the pixel electrode Pi in FIG. 2 are represented by +V and -V, respectively. Please refer to Figure 1 2, during the picture period P21, the scan control signal Scan1 of one of the scan lines on the corresponding panel is enabled, and the writable switches T11 and T12 are turned on. At this time, the positive polarity pixel signal +V is stored in the storage unit C11 via the data line D11 and the switchable switch T11 that is turned on. At the same time, the negative polarity pixel signal -V is stored in the storage unit C12 via the data line D12 and the switchable switch T12. When sufficient storage time has elapsed, the scan control signal Scan1 is deactivated, so that the writable switches T11, T12 are not turned on.

接著,在畫面期間P21內,顯示控制信號F11及F12依序致能,以分別控制可顯示開關S11及S12將不同極性的畫素信號依序地傳送至畫素電極Pi。舉例來說,當顯示控制信號F11致能,使可顯示開關S11導通時,儲存單元C11所儲存的正極性畫素信號+V經由導通之可顯示開關S11傳送至畫素電極Pi。當顯示控制信號F12致能,使可顯示開關S12導通時,儲存單元C12所儲存的負極性畫素信號-V則經由導通之可顯示開關S12傳送至畫素電極Pi。Next, in the picture period P21, the display control signals F11 and F12 are sequentially enabled to respectively control the displayable switches S11 and S12 to sequentially transmit the pixel signals of different polarities to the pixel electrodes Pi. For example, when the display control signal F11 is enabled to turn on the display switch S11, the positive polarity pixel signal +V stored in the storage unit C11 is transmitted to the pixel electrode Pi via the conductive display switch S11. When the display control signal F12 is enabled to turn on the display switch S12, the negative polarity pixel signal -V stored in the storage unit C12 is transmitted to the pixel electrode Pi via the conductive display switch S12.

為了避免液晶電容CLC存有殘留電荷,而導致畫面顯示不正確,例如:畫面殘影,因此在可顯示開關S11、S12導通之前,會先將重置信號RST1致能,使重置開關RS1導通,以重置畫素電極Pi。在本實施例中,重置動作為將畫素電極Pi耦接至重置電壓VRST。In order to prevent the residual capacitance of the liquid crystal capacitor CLC, the picture display is not correct, for example, the image afterimage, so before the display switch S11, S12 can be turned on, the reset signal RST1 is enabled first, and the reset switch RS1 is turned on. To reset the pixel electrode Pi. In this embodiment, the reset action is to couple the pixel electrode Pi to the reset voltage VRST.

簡而言之,本實施例在對應其一掃描線之掃描控制信號Scan1致能時,將正極性及負極性畫素信號分別儲存至儲存單元C11及C12之中。接著,依據顯示控制信號F11 及F12,在一畫面期間,依序地導通可顯示開關S11及S12,以分別將儲存單元C11及C12所儲存正極性及負極性畫素信號傳送至畫素電極Pi。因此,在同一畫面期間內,畫素電極Pi可依序地反應正極性及負極性畫素信號,從而提高畫框率,並降低畫面閃爍的影響。In short, in the present embodiment, when the scan control signal Scan1 corresponding to one of the scan lines is enabled, the positive polarity and negative polarity pixel signals are respectively stored in the storage units C11 and C12. Then, according to the display control signal F11 And F12, during a picture period, the displayable switches S11 and S12 are sequentially turned on to transmit the positive polarity and negative polarity pixel signals stored in the storage cells C11 and C12 to the pixel electrodes Pi, respectively. Therefore, during the same picture period, the pixel electrode Pi can sequentially reflect the positive polarity and negative polarity pixel signals, thereby increasing the frame rate and reducing the influence of the picture flicker.

依據上述實施例之教示,畫素單元之驅動電路110也可應用在色序(color sequential)法的驅動電路。此色序法的驅動方式主要為在人眼視覺暫留的時間範圍內,於時間軸上快速地切換不同顏色的影像畫面,以產生混色的效果。請參照圖1及圖2,當掃描控制信號Scan1致能時,第一顏色畫素信號及第二顏色畫素信號分別經由資料線D11及D12而儲存於儲存單元C11及C12。接著,在同一畫面期間,顯示控制信號F11及F12依序地致能,藉以將不同顏色的畫素信號傳送至畫素電極Pi。而透過可顯示開關S11及S12的切換,即可切換顯示不同顏色的影像畫面。According to the teachings of the above embodiments, the driving circuit 110 of the pixel unit can also be applied to a driving circuit of a color sequential method. The driving method of the color sequential method is mainly to quickly switch image images of different colors on the time axis within a time range of persistence of the human eye to generate a color mixing effect. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, when the scan control signal Scan1 is enabled, the first color pixel signal and the second color pixel signal are stored in the storage units C11 and C12 via the data lines D11 and D12, respectively. Then, during the same picture period, the display control signals F11 and F12 are sequentially enabled, whereby the pixel signals of different colors are transmitted to the pixel electrode Pi. By switching the display switches S11 and S12, it is possible to switch between displaying images of different colors.

更進一步地來說,畫素單元之驅動電路110可同時進行色序驅動及極性反轉驅動。也就是說,當掃描控制信號Scan1在一畫面期間致能時,便同時將具有正極性之第一顏色畫素信號及具有負極性之第二顏色畫素信號分別傳送至儲存單元C11及C12儲存。接著,在同一畫面期間,透過顯示控制信號F11及F12之控制,依序地將儲存單元C11及C12所儲存的畫素信號傳送至畫素電極Pi。另外,當掃描控制信號Scan1於下一畫面期間再次致能時,同理,依據如前述之操作方式,驅動畫素單元。Furthermore, the driving circuit 110 of the pixel unit can simultaneously perform color sequential driving and polarity inversion driving. That is, when the scan control signal Scan1 is enabled during a picture, the first color pixel signal having the positive polarity and the second color pixel signal having the negative polarity are simultaneously transmitted to the storage units C11 and C12, respectively. . Then, during the same picture period, the pixel signals stored in the storage units C11 and C12 are sequentially transmitted to the pixel electrodes Pi by the control of the display control signals F11 and F12. In addition, when the scan control signal Scan1 is enabled again during the next screen, similarly, the pixel unit is driven in accordance with the operation mode as described above.

一般而言,色序驅動方式需要個三個顏色來組合出全彩,例如是紅色、綠色以及藍色。為使本領域具有通常知識者能依據本發明實施例之教示輕易地施行本發明,以下另舉一實施例加以說明。圖3為依據本發明之一實施例畫素單元之驅動電路的電路圖。請參照圖3,畫素單元之驅動電路300包括可寫入開關T31~T33、儲存單元C31~C33、可顯示開關S31~S33、重置開關RS3以及畫素電極Pi。在此,可寫入開關T31~T33、可顯示開關S31~S33及重置開關RS3例如為電晶體或者其他半導體開關裝置。而儲存單元C31~C33例如為電容。In general, the color sequential driving method requires three colors to combine full colors, such as red, green, and blue.

圖4為本發明實施例圖3中畫素單元之驅動電路的時序圖。請參照圖3及圖4,為了便於敘述,圖3中畫素電 極Pi所接收的正極性及負極性畫素信號分別以+及-表示之,且畫素電極Pi所接收的紅色、綠色以及藍色畫素信號分別以V1、V2及V3表示之。首先,在畫面期間P41,對應面板上其一掃描線的掃描控制信號Scan3致能,使可寫入開關T31~T33導通。此時,正極性紅色畫素信號+V1經由資料線D31及導通之可寫入開關T31而儲存於儲存單元C31,負極性綠色畫素信號-V2經由資料線D32及導通之可寫入開關T32而儲存於儲存單元C32,且正極性藍色畫素信號+V3經由資料線D33及導通之可寫入開關T33而儲存於儲存單元C33。接著,在畫面期間P41內,掃描控制信號F31~F32依序地致能,使可顯示開關S31~S33依序地導通,藉以將儲存單元C31~C33所儲存的畫素信號傳送至畫素電極Pi因此,畫素電極Pi便會在畫面期間P41內依序地反應正極性紅色畫素信號+V1、負極性綠色畫素信號-V2及正極性藍色畫素信號+V3,以實現色序驅動及極性反轉驅動。4 is a timing diagram of a driving circuit of the pixel unit of FIG. 3 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4. For convenience of description, the picture element in FIG. The positive polarity and negative polarity pixel signals received by the pole Pi are represented by + and -, respectively, and the red, green, and blue pixel signals received by the pixel electrode Pi are represented by V1, V2, and V3, respectively. First, in the picture period P41, the scan control signal Scan3 corresponding to one of the scanning lines on the panel is enabled, and the writable switches T31 to T33 are turned on. At this time, the positive red pixel signal +V1 is stored in the storage unit C31 via the data line D31 and the conductive switch T31, and the negative green pixel signal -V2 is written via the data line D32 and the switchable switch T32. And stored in the storage unit C32, and the positive blue pixel signal +V3 is stored in the storage unit C33 via the data line D33 and the conductive switch T33 that is turned on. Then, in the picture period P41, the scan control signals F31~F32 are sequentially enabled, so that the displayable switches S31~S33 are sequentially turned on, thereby transmitting the pixel signals stored in the storage units C31~C33 to the pixel electrodes. Therefore, the pixel electrode Pi sequentially reacts the positive red pixel signal +V1, the negative green pixel signal -V2, and the positive blue pixel signal +V3 during the picture period P41 to realize the color sequence. Drive and polarity inversion drive.

同理類推,當掃描控制信號Scan3在下一畫面期間P42致能,使可寫入開關T31~T33導通時,負極性紅色畫素信號-V1、正極性綠色畫素信號+V2及負極性藍色畫素信號-V3分別儲存於儲存單元C31~C33。接著,在畫面期間P42內,掃描控制信號F31~F32依序地致能,使可顯示開關S31~S33依序地導通。藉此,畫素電極Pi便會在畫面期間P42內依序地反應正極性紅色畫素信號-V1、負極性綠色畫素信號+V2及正極性藍色畫素信號-V3。在本實 施例中,重置信號RST3在可顯示開關S31~S33導通之前致能,使重置開關RS3導通,以重置畫素電極Pi。Similarly, when the scan control signal Scan3 is enabled during the next picture period P42, when the writable switch T31~T33 is turned on, the negative red pixel signal -V1, the positive green pixel signal +V2, and the negative blue The pixel signals -V3 are stored in the storage units C31 to C33, respectively. Next, in the screen period P42, the scan control signals F31 to F32 are sequentially enabled, and the displayable switches S31 to S33 are sequentially turned on. Thereby, the pixel electrode Pi sequentially reflects the positive red pixel signal -V1, the negative green pixel signal +V2, and the positive blue pixel signal -V3 in the picture period P42. In this reality In the embodiment, the reset signal RST3 is enabled before the displayable switches S31 to S33 are turned on, and the reset switch RS3 is turned on to reset the pixel electrode Pi.

值得注意的是,色序驅動為在時間軸上快速切換不同顏色的影像畫面,來達到混色的效果,是故並不侷限紅色、綠色及藍色畫素信號顯示的先後順序。另外,在實施例圖3中,對同一資料線而言,在連續兩畫框期間需分別傳送不同極性的畫素信號,例如:+V1及-V1。因此,在本發明之另一實施例中,畫素單元之驅動電路300前端可耦接一畫框率轉換器(frame rate converter),藉以在不同畫面期間傳送不同極性之畫素信號至資料線。It is worth noting that the color sequence driving is to quickly switch the image images of different colors on the time axis to achieve the color mixing effect, so the order of the red, green and blue pixel signals is not limited. In addition, in the embodiment of FIG. 3, for the same data line, pixel signals of different polarities, for example, +V1 and -V1, are separately transmitted during two consecutive frames. Therefore, in another embodiment of the present invention, the front end of the driving circuit 300 of the pixel unit can be coupled to a frame rate converter to transmit pixel signals of different polarities to the data lines during different pictures. .

為了能有效地提高畫框率及節省畫框率轉換器所花費的製造成本,以下另舉一實施例加以說明。圖5為本發明之一實施例畫素單元之驅動電路的電路圖。請參照圖5,畫素單元之驅動電路500包括子驅動單元510、520及530、重置開關RS5及畫素電極Pi。每一個子驅動單元510、520及530包括可寫入開關T51~T52、可顯示開關S51~S52及儲存單元C51~C52,且每一個子驅動單元510、520及530透過對應的兩資料線來傳送畫素信號,亦即D51~D52、D53~D54及D55~D56。其中,每一個子驅動單元510、520及530內各元件耦接關係,與實施例圖1中畫素單元之驅動電路110(除重置開關RS1之外)所述相同,故不加以贅述。另外,子驅動單元510內的可顯示開關S51及S52分別受控於顯示控制信號F51及F52,子驅動單元520內的可顯示開關S51及S52分別受控於顯示控制信號 F53及F54,且子驅動單元530內的可顯示開關S51及S52分別受控於顯示控制信號F55及F56。In order to effectively increase the frame rate and save the manufacturing cost of the frame rate converter, an embodiment will be described below. Figure 5 is a circuit diagram of a driving circuit of a pixel unit in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 5, the driving circuit 500 of the pixel unit includes sub driving units 510, 520, and 530, a reset switch RS5, and a pixel electrode Pi. Each of the sub-drive units 510, 520, and 530 includes a writable switch T51~T52, a display switch S51-S52, and a storage unit C51-C52, and each sub-drive unit 510, 520, and 530 transmits through the corresponding two data lines. Transmit pixel signals, namely D51~D52, D53~D54 and D55~D56. The components of each of the sub-drive units 510, 520, and 530 are coupled to each other in the same manner as the drive circuit 110 of the pixel unit of FIG. 1 (except the reset switch RS1), and thus are not described herein. In addition, the displayable switches S51 and S52 in the sub-drive unit 510 are controlled by the display control signals F51 and F52, respectively, and the displayable switches S51 and S52 in the sub-drive unit 520 are respectively controlled by the display control signals. F53 and F54, and displayable switches S51 and S52 in sub-drive unit 530 are controlled by display control signals F55 and F56, respectively.

對子驅動單元510而言,當掃描控制信號Scan5致能使可寫入開關T51~T52導通時,正極性紅色畫素信號及負極性紅色畫素信號分別經由資料線D51及D52而儲存於子驅動單元510內的儲存單元C51及C52。同時地,對子驅動單元520及530而言,正極性綠色畫素信號及負極性綠色畫素信號分別經由資料線D53及D54而儲存於子驅動單元520內的儲存單元C51及C52,而正極性藍色畫素信號及負極性藍色畫素信號也分別經由資料線D55及D56儲存於子驅動單元530內的儲存單元C51及C52。因此,當掃描控制信號Scan5致能時,正負極性的各種顏色畫素信號可分別儲存於各個子驅動單元內的儲存單元C51及C52。For the sub-driving unit 510, when the scan control signal Scan5 enables the writable switches T51~T52 to be turned on, the positive red pixel signal and the negative red pixel signal are stored in the sub-data lines D51 and D52, respectively. The storage units C51 and C52 in the drive unit 510. Simultaneously, for the sub-driving units 520 and 530, the positive green pixel signal and the negative green pixel signal are stored in the storage units C51 and C52 in the sub-driving unit 520 via the data lines D53 and D54, respectively, and the positive electrode. The blue pixel signal and the negative blue pixel signal are also stored in the storage units C51 and C52 in the sub-drive unit 530 via the data lines D55 and D56, respectively. Therefore, when the scan control signal Scan5 is enabled, the positive and negative polarity color pixel signals can be stored in the storage units C51 and C52 in the respective sub-drive units, respectively.

接著,在一畫面期間內,掃描控制信號F51~F56可依序地致能,使對應的可顯示開關導通,進而將正負極性的各種顏色畫素信號傳送至畫素電極Pi。也就是說,在同一畫面期間,畫素電極Pi可依序地反應正極性紅色畫素信號、負極性紅色畫素信號、正極性綠色畫素信號、負極性綠色畫素信號、正極性藍色畫素信號及負極性藍色畫素信號。在此並不限定於上述畫素信號顯示的先後順序。在本實施例中,重置信號RST5會在各子驅動單元內的可顯示開關S51及S52導通之前致能,以重置畫素電極Pi。Then, during a picture period, the scan control signals F51-F56 can be sequentially enabled to turn on the corresponding displayable switches, thereby transmitting the positive and negative polarity color pixel signals to the pixel electrodes Pi. That is to say, during the same picture period, the pixel electrode Pi can sequentially reflect the positive red pixel signal, the negative red pixel signal, the positive green pixel signal, the negative green pixel signal, and the positive blue. The pixel signal and the negative blue pixel signal. Here, it is not limited to the order in which the above pixel signals are displayed. In the present embodiment, the reset signal RST5 is enabled before the displayable switches S51 and S52 in each sub-drive unit are turned on to reset the pixel electrode Pi.

本實施例之畫素單元之驅動電路300採用色序驅動及極性反轉驅動方式,其透過各子驅動單元內的儲存單元 C51及C52來儲存正負極性的各種顏色畫素,因而只需透過各子驅動單元內的可顯示開關S51及S52的切換,便能有效地提高畫框率,無須額外的畫框率轉換器來控制畫素信號於不同畫面期間傳送至資料線。The driving circuit 300 of the pixel unit of the embodiment adopts a color sequential driving and a polarity inversion driving mode, and transmits the storage unit in each sub driving unit. C51 and C52 store various color pixels of positive and negative polarity. Therefore, it is only necessary to switch the displayable switches S51 and S52 in each sub-drive unit to effectively increase the frame rate without additional frame rate converter. Controls the pixel signal to be transmitted to the data line during different pictures.

另外,由於正負極性的各種顏色畫素信號已儲存各子驅動單元內的儲存單元C51及C52之中,因此本發明另一實施例在一畫面期間,可使部分的掃描控制信號F51~F56依序地致能,例如:F51、F54及F55。因此,在同一畫面期間,畫素電極Pi可以依序地反應正極性紅色畫素信號、負極性綠色畫素信號及正極性藍色畫素信號。而在下一畫面期間,可使另一部分的掃描控制信號F51~F56依序地致能,例如:F52、F53及F56。因此,在同一畫面期間,畫素電極Pi便會依序地反應負極性紅色畫素信號、正極性綠色畫素信號及負極性藍色畫素性號。In addition, since the various color pixel signals of the positive and negative polarities are stored in the storage units C51 and C52 in the sub-drive units, another embodiment of the present invention can enable the partial scan control signals F51~F56 during a picture period. The sequence is enabled, for example: F51, F54 and F55. Therefore, during the same picture period, the pixel electrode Pi can sequentially reflect the positive red pixel signal, the negative green pixel signal, and the positive blue pixel signal. During the next picture period, another portion of the scan control signals F51~F56 can be sequentially enabled, for example, F52, F53, and F56. Therefore, during the same picture period, the pixel electrode Pi sequentially responds to the negative red pixel signal, the positive green pixel signal, and the negative blue pixel number.

綜上所述,上述實施利圖1在一畫面期間,透過可寫入開關T11及T12的切換,將不同極性的畫素信號分別儲存於儲存單元C11及C12之中。接著,在同一畫面期間,透過可顯示開關S11及S22切換,將不同極性的畫素信號依序地傳送至畫素電極Pi,以實現高畫框率之極性反轉驅動。另外,實施例圖1也可利用儲存單元C11及C12來儲存不同顏色的畫素信號,再透過可顯示開關S11及S22切換來進行色序驅動。In summary, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the pixel signals of different polarities are respectively stored in the storage units C11 and C12 through the switching of the writable switches T11 and T12 during one screen. Then, during the same picture period, the pixel switches of different polarities are sequentially transmitted to the pixel electrode Pi through the switchable display switches S11 and S22 to realize the polarity inversion driving of the high frame rate. In addition, in the embodiment of FIG. 1, the pixel units of different colors can be stored by the storage units C11 and C12, and then the color sequence driving can be performed by switching the display switches S11 and S22.

由於色序驅動通常為切換顯示紅色、綠色及藍色三種顏色畫面,因此實施例圖3提出一種具有三個儲存單元 C31~C33的驅動電路。當掃描控制信號Scan3在一畫面期間致能時,正負極性交替的紅色、綠色及藍色畫素信號則分別儲存於儲存單元C31~C33。在同一畫面期間,透過可顯示開關S31~S33的切換,則可將儲存單元C31~C33所儲存的畫素信號傳送至畫素電極Pi。當掃描控制信號Scan3在下一畫面期間致能時,與上一畫面相反極性的紅色、綠色及藍色畫素信號則分別儲存於儲存單元C31~C33。在同一畫面期間,透過可顯示開關S31~S33的切換,則可將儲存單元C31~C33所儲存的畫素信號傳送至畫素電極Pi。Since the color sequential driving is usually to switch the display of three colors of red, green and blue, the embodiment of FIG. 3 proposes to have three storage units. C31 ~ C33 drive circuit. When the scan control signal Scan3 is enabled during one frame, the red, green and blue pixel signals alternating between positive and negative polarity are stored in the storage units C31 to C33, respectively. During the same picture period, the pixel signals stored in the storage units C31 to C33 can be transmitted to the pixel electrode Pi through the switching of the displayable switches S31 to S33. When the scan control signal Scan3 is enabled during the next screen, the red, green, and blue pixel signals of opposite polarities to the previous screen are stored in the storage units C31-C33, respectively. During the same picture period, the pixel signals stored in the storage units C31 to C33 can be transmitted to the pixel electrode Pi through the switching of the displayable switches S31 to S33.

在實施例圖5中,當掃描控制信號Scan5在一畫面期間致能時,便同時地將不同極性的各種顏色畫素信號傳送至各子驅動單元內的儲存單元C51及C52儲存。因此,只需透過各子驅動單元內的可顯示開關S51及S52的切換,便可進行色序驅動及極性反轉驅動,以及決定顯示的畫框率。上述實施例無須額外的畫框緩衝器來儲存畫素信號,即可透過可顯示開關的切換來提高畫框率,以避免畫面閃爍的情形發生。In the embodiment of Fig. 5, when the scan control signal Scan5 is enabled during a picture, various color pixel signals of different polarities are simultaneously transmitted to the storage units C51 and C52 in the respective sub-drive units for storage. Therefore, the color sequence driving and the polarity inversion driving can be performed only by switching the displayable switches S51 and S52 in the respective sub-driving units, and the frame rate of the display can be determined. In the above embodiment, the frame buffer is not required to store the pixel signal, and the frame rate can be improved by switching the display switch to prevent the frame from flickering.
