Referring to FIG. 1A, the display device 100A includes a plurality of multiplexers MUX2_1 to MUX2_N, a controller 110, a source driver 120, and a voltage shifter 130. The source driver 120 includes a plurality of driving circuits DC1 to DCN, and each of the multiplexers MUX2_1 to MUX2_N has a plurality of transmission channels CH1 to CHA, respectively. In this embodiment, the voltage shifter 130 is coupled between the multiplexers MUX2_1 to MUX2_N and the controller 110, and the controller 110 is coupled between the voltage shifter 130 and the source driver 120. The controller 110 may be used to provide control signals CS1 to CS2 to the voltage shifter 130, and the voltage shifter 130 may shift the voltage values of the received control signals CS1 to CS2 to generate an offset voltage.

Then, the voltage shifter 130 may transmit the control signals ACS1 to ACS2 to the corresponding multiplexers MUX2_1 to MUX2_N, so as to control the conduction states of the transmission channels CH1 to CHA. Wherein, the above-mentioned A may be twice of N, and A and N may be any positive integers.

值得注意的是,在本實施例中,源極驅動器120中的各條資料線SL1~SLN分別可以連接至對應的兩個傳輸通道CH1~CHA。舉例來說,驅動電路DC1可以透過資料線SL1來將源極驅動信號S1傳送至傳輸通道CH1、CH3,驅動電路DC2可以透過資料線SL2來將源極驅動信號S2傳送至傳輸通道CH2、CH4,其餘依此類推,但本發明並不限於此。並且,在本實施例中,各個傳輸通道CH1~CHA可以分別依據控制信號ACS1~ACS2來決定其導通的狀態。舉例來說,傳輸通道CH1、CH2可受控於控制信號ACS1,傳輸通道CH3、CH4可受控於控制信號ACS2,其餘可依此類推,但本發明並不限於此。It is worth noting that, in this embodiment, each of the data lines SL1 to SLN in the source driver 120 can be connected to the corresponding two transmission channels CH1 to CHA respectively. For example, the driving circuit DC1 can transmit the source driving signal S1 to the transmission channels CH1 and CH3 through the data line SL1, and the driving circuit DC2 can transmit the source driving signal S2 to the transmission channels CH2 and CH4 through the data line SL2. The rest can be deduced by analogy, but the present invention is not limited to this. In addition, in this embodiment, each transmission channel CH1 to CHA can determine the conduction state according to the control signals ACS1 to ACS2, respectively. For example, the transmission channels CH1 and CH2 can be controlled by the control signal ACS1, the transmission channels CH3 and CH4 can be controlled by the control signal ACS2, and the rest can be deduced by analogy, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

另一方面,源極驅動器120可以利用多個驅動電路DC1~DCN來分別提供源極驅動信號S1~SN至對應的多工器MUX2_1~MUX2_N。如此一來,源極驅動器120可以透過多工器MUX2_1~MUX2_N來將顯示資料傳送至對應的顯示畫素。特別一提的是,在本發明實施例中,本領域具通常知識者可以依據顯示裝置100A的設計需求,來決定多工器、傳輸通道、驅動電路、控制信號以及源極驅動信號的數量,本發明並不限於圖1A中所繪示的數量。並且,本實施例的各個多工器MUX2_1~MUX2_2可以具有2個或3個開關所建構的傳輸通道,但本發明實施例並不限於此。On the other hand, the source driver 120 may use a plurality of driving circuits DC1 to DCN to provide the source driving signals S1 to SN to the corresponding multiplexers MUX2_1 to MUX2_N, respectively. In this way, the source driver 120 can transmit the display data to the corresponding display pixels through the multiplexers MUX2_1 to MUX2_N. In particular, in the embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art can determine the number of multiplexers, transmission channels, driving circuits, control signals, and source driving signals according to the design requirements of the display device 100A. The invention is not limited to the number shown in FIG. 1A. In addition, each of the multiplexers MUX2_1 to MUX2_2 in this embodiment may have a transmission channel constructed by two or three switches, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

具體來說,在本實施例中,控制器110可以依據各個多工器MUX2_1~MUX2_N中的傳輸通道CH1~CHA的導通數量,來產生驅動能力調整信號DCS,並提供驅動能力調整信號DCS至源極驅動器120。源極驅動器120則可以依據驅動能力調整信號DCS來調整源極驅動信號S1~SN的驅動能力。並且,控制器110亦可提供時序控制信號CLK至源極驅動器120,以使源極驅動器120可以依據時序控制信號CLK來控制所述驅動能力調整信號DCS的切換時序。Specifically, in this embodiment, the controller 110 may generate the driving capability adjustment signal DCS according to the conduction number of the transmission channels CH1 to CHA in each of the multiplexers MUX2_1 to MUX2_N, and provide the driving capability adjustment signal DCS to the source.极 Driver 120. The source driver 120 may adjust the driving capabilities of the source driving signals S1 to SN according to the driving capability adjusting signal DCS. In addition, the controller 110 can also provide a timing control signal CLK to the source driver 120 so that the source driver 120 can control the switching timing of the driving capability adjustment signal DCS according to the timing control signal CLK.

進一步來說,當顯示裝置100A操作於一顯示時間區間時,控制器110可以依據傳輸通道CH1~CHA的導通數量(亦即控制信號CS1~CS2的被致能的狀態),來提供相對應的驅動能力調整信號DCS至源極驅動器120,以使源極驅動器120可以藉由接收驅動能力調整信號DCS來獲得傳輸通道CH1~CHA的導通數量的相關資訊。接著,源極驅動器120可以依據驅動能力調整信號DCS來決定是否調整源極驅動信號S1~SN的驅動能力。舉例來說,以多工器MUX2_1、MUX2_2作為範例,當控制器110設定控制信號CS1及控制信號CS2皆為致能(例如是邏輯1)狀態(亦即經電壓偏移後的控制信號ACS1及控制信號ACS2同樣皆為致能狀態)時,傳輸通道CH1~CH4可以被導通。在此同時,源極驅動器120可以依據驅動能力調整信號DCS來將源極驅動信號S1~S2的驅動能力調整為第一推力的狀態。相對的,當控制器110設定控制信號CS1及控制信號CS2中的其中之一為致能(例如是邏輯1)狀態(亦即經電壓偏移後的控制信號ACS1及控制信號ACS2中的其中之一同樣為致能狀態)時,傳輸通道CH1、CH2或傳輸通道CH3、CH4可以被導通。在此同時,源極驅動器120可以依據驅動能力調整信號DCS來將源極驅動信號S1~S2的驅動能力調整為第二推力狀態。值得一提的是,本實施例的第一推力及第二推力可以例如是源極驅動器120驅動源極驅動信號S1~SN所提供的驅動電流的大小。其中,所述第一推力的驅動能力可以大於所述第二推力的驅動能力,例如第一推力的驅動能力為第二推力的驅動能力的兩倍,但本發明實施例並不限於此。Further, when the display device 100A is operated in a display time interval, the controller 110 may provide a corresponding signal according to the conduction number of the transmission channels CH1 to CHA (that is, the enabled states of the control signals CS1 to CS2). The driving capability adjustment signal DCS is sent to the source driver 120, so that the source driver 120 can obtain information about the conduction number of the transmission channels CH1 to CHA by receiving the driving capability adjustment signal DCS. Then, the source driver 120 may decide whether to adjust the driving capabilities of the source driving signals S1 to SN according to the driving capability adjusting signal DCS. For example, using the multiplexers MUX2_1 and MUX2_2 as examples, when the controller 110 sets the control signal CS1 and the control signal CS2 to be enabled (for example, logic 1), the control signals ACS1 and When the control signal ACS2 is also enabled, the transmission channels CH1 to CH4 can be turned on. At the same time, the source driver 120 can adjust the driving capabilities of the source driving signals S1 to S2 to the state of the first thrust according to the driving capability adjusting signal DCS. In contrast, when the controller 110 sets one of the control signals CS1 and CS2 to an enabled (eg, logic 1) state (that is, one of the control signals ACS1 and ACS2 after voltage offset) (The same is the enabled state), the transmission channel CH1, CH2 or the transmission channels CH3, CH4 can be turned on. At the same time, the source driver 120 can adjust the driving capabilities of the source driving signals S1 to S2 to the second thrust state according to the driving capability adjusting signal DCS. It is worth mentioning that the first thrust and the second thrust in this embodiment may be, for example, the magnitude of the driving current provided by the source driver 120 to drive the source driving signals S1 to SN. The driving capability of the first thrust may be greater than the driving capability of the second thrust, for example, the driving capability of the first thrust is twice the driving capability of the second thrust, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

依據上述可得知,本實施例的源極驅動器120可以依據各個傳輸通道CH1~CH4的導通數量,來決定將源極驅動信號S1~S2的驅動能力調整為第一推力或第二推力。也就是說,當傳輸通道CH1~CHA的導通數量較多時,源極驅動器120可以依據驅動能力調整信號DCS來將驅動源極驅動信號S1~SN的驅動能力調整為第一推力。相對的,當傳輸通道CH1~CHA的導通數量較少時,源極驅動器120可以依據驅動能力調整信號DCS來將驅動源極驅動信號S1~SN的驅動能力調整為第二推力。如此一來,本發明實施例的顯示裝置100A可以降低因源極驅動信號S1~SN的驅動能力不足,而導致各個對應的顯示畫素發生充電速率不均勻的問題,進而提升顯示裝置100A的工作效能。According to the above, it can be known that the source driver 120 in this embodiment may decide to adjust the driving capability of the source driving signals S1 to S2 to the first thrust force or the second thrust force according to the conduction quantity of each transmission channel CH1 to CH4. That is, when the conduction number of the transmission channels CH1 to CHA is large, the source driver 120 may adjust the driving capability of the driving source driving signals S1 to SN to the first thrust force according to the driving capability adjusting signal DCS. In contrast, when the conduction number of the transmission channels CH1 to CHA is small, the source driver 120 may adjust the driving capability of the driving source driving signals S1 to SN to the second thrust according to the driving capability adjusting signal DCS. In this way, the display device 100A according to the embodiment of the present invention can reduce the problem of uneven charging rate of each corresponding display pixel due to insufficient driving capability of the source driving signals S1 to SN, thereby improving the operation of the display device 100A. efficacy.

CH4 and CH6, and the rest can be deduced by analogy, but the present invention is not limited thereto. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of FIG. 1B, the number of transmission channels may be three times the number of multiplexers.

除此之外,在本實施例中,各個傳輸通道CH1~CH6可以分別依據控制信號ACS1~ACS3來決定其導通的狀態。舉例來說,傳輸通道CH1、CH4可受控於控制信號ACS1,傳輸通道CH2、CH5可受控於控制信號ACS2,傳輸通道CH3、CH6可受控於控制信號ACS3,其餘可依此類推,但本發明並不限於此。In addition, in this embodiment, each of the transmission channels CH1 to CH6 can determine the conduction state according to the control signals ACS1 to ACS3, respectively. For example, transmission channels CH1 and CH4 can be controlled by the control signal ACS1, transmission channels CH2 and CH5 can be controlled by the control signal ACS2, transmission channels CH3 and CH6 can be controlled by the control signal ACS3, and the rest can be deduced by analogy, but The invention is not limited to this.

When the controller 110 sets the control signals CS1 to CS3 to be enabled (for example, logic 1), the control signals ACS1 to ACS3 after voltage offset are the same. When they are all enabled), the transmission channels CH1 to CH6 can be turned on. At the same time, the source driver 120 can adjust the driving capabilities of the source driving signals S1 to S2 to the state of the first thrust according to the driving capability adjusting signal DCS.

詳細來說,以多工器MUX3_1~MUX3_2作為範例,控制器110可以利用控制邏輯電路210來產生控制信號CS1~CS3,並且控制器110可藉由電壓偏移器250來偏移控制信號CS1~CS3的電壓值,並將偏移電壓後的控制信號ACS1~ACS3傳送至對應的多工器MUX3_1~MUX3_2,藉以決定各個傳輸通道CH1~CH6的導通狀態以及導通數量。值得一提的是,在本實施例中,邏輯電路220可以接收控制信號CS1~CS3,並針對控制信號CS1~CS3進行邏輯運算(例如是多層次的及邏輯(AND))運算,但並不限於此)以產生驅動能力調整信號DCS1~DCS2。接著,邏輯電路220可以傳送驅動能力調整信號DCS1~DCS2至控制邏輯電路230,以使控制邏輯電路230可以獲得各個傳輸通道CH1~CH6的導通數量的相關資訊。在此同時,控制邏輯電路210亦可將影像信號VS傳送至控制邏輯電路230,控制邏輯電路230則可將影像信號VS暫存至暫存器240。In detail, taking the multiplexers MUX3_1 to MUX3_2 as an example, the controller 110 may use the control logic circuit 210 to generate the control signals CS1 to CS3, and the controller 110 may offset the control signals CS1 to CS1 through the voltage shifter 250. The voltage value of CS3, and the control signals ACS1 to ACS3 after the offset voltage are transmitted to the corresponding multiplexers MUX3_1 to MUX3_2, so as to determine the conduction state and conduction quantity of each transmission channel CH1 to CH6. It is worth mentioning that, in this embodiment, the logic circuit 220 may receive the control signals CS1 to CS3 and perform logical operations (such as multi-level and logical (AND)) operations on the control signals CS1 to CS3, but not (Limited to this) to generate driving capability adjustment signals DCS1 to DCS2.

In addition, the driving capabilities of the source driving signals S1 to SN are adjusted by activating each of the enabled amplifier circuits AP1 to APB (for example, the driving capabilities of the source driving signals S1 to SN are adjusted to a first thrust force and a second thrust force). Or third thrust). In other words, in this embodiment, the number of conduction of the transmission channels CH1 to CH6 may be positively related to the number of enabled amplifier circuits AP1 to APB. That is, the conduction number of the transmission channels CH1 to CH6 may be positively related to the driving capability of the source driving signals S1 to SN.
