As shown in FIG. 2, the electrophoretic display 2 of the present embodiment includes a source driving circuit 20, a gate driving circuit 22, and a display panel 24. The source driving circuit 20 and the gate driving circuit 22 are coupled to the display panel 24, and each generates a driving signal to the display panel 24 to drive its operation. The source driving circuit 20 can output a first voltage, a second voltage or a third voltage to drive the display panel 24, and the gate driving voltage 22 generates a driving signal such as a gate voltage to activate the electrophoretic display 2. A display operation. Preferably, the source driving circuit 20 in this embodiment includes a quasi-conversion module 200, an output module 202, and a temporary storage and determination module 204. The level conversion module 200 is coupled between the output module 202 and the temporary storage and determination module 204, and includes a first level conversion unit 2000 and a second level conversion unit 2002. Each level conversion unit The driving is performed by using a half amplitude voltage source. For example, the first level conversion unit 2000 can be driven by a positive voltage VGH and a ground voltage GND, and the second level conversion unit 2002 can transmit a stable voltage source VDD and a negative The voltage VGL is driven. In addition, in the embodiment, the first voltage outputted by the source driving circuit 20 is a high level voltage, the second voltage is a low level voltage, and the third voltage is a ground voltage, which is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

此外,本實施例中的暫存與判斷模組204可產生一兩位元傳輸資料之輸入訊號DI0、DI1至位準轉換模組200,且兩位元傳輸資料可表示一高位準狀態、一低位準狀態、一接地狀態或一偵錯狀態,其中,高位準狀態可控制源極驅動電路20輸出第一電壓(例如一高位準電壓),低位準狀態可控制源極驅動電路20輸出第二電壓(例如一低位準電壓),而接地狀態可控制源極驅動電路20輸出第三電壓(例如一接地電壓GND)。舉例來說,輸入資料00、01、10、11可分別代表接地狀態、高位準狀態、低位準狀態與偵錯狀態,但不限於此。另外,本實施例中的暫存與判斷模組204還可包含一偵錯模組,當暫存與判斷模組204產生輸入訊號為偵錯狀態(例如輸入資料11)時,偵錯模組可對應轉換偵錯狀態為接地狀態,來防止偵錯狀態之預設訊號產生,此亦屬於本發明的範疇。In addition, the temporary storage and determination module 204 in this embodiment can generate a two-bit transmission data input signal DI0, DI1 to the level conversion module 200, and the two-dimensional transmission data can represent a high level state, a low level state, a ground state or a debug state, wherein the high level state can control the source driving circuit 20 to output a first voltage (eg, a high level voltage), and the low level state can control the source driving circuit 20 to output a second The voltage (for example, a low level voltage), and the ground state can control the source driving circuit 20 to output a third voltage (for example, a ground voltage GND).

In addition, the temporary storage and determination module 204 in this embodiment may further include a debugging module. When the temporary storage and determination module 204 generates an input signal into a debugging state (for example, input data 11), the debugging module It is also within the scope of the present invention to respond to the state in which the debug debug state is grounded to prevent the occurrence of a preset signal in the debug state.

The module 202 is configured to output a first voltage, a second voltage, or a third voltage to the display panel 24, thereby starting the display operation of the electrophoretic display 2. Accordingly, compared with the circuit design of the source-level driving circuit 10 provided by the prior art, the simplified circuit of the level conversion module 200 in this embodiment only needs to utilize a half-amplitude voltage source to perform each level. The driving operation of the conversion unit, in addition, the number of level conversion units used in the level conversion module 200 can be greatly reduced, so that the products of the electrophoretic display 2 can conform to the design of a thin design and low power consumption.
