However, in some conventional technologies, the shorting bar control circuit (shorting bar control circuit) used to switch the pixel array to receive the above two types of signals is too bulky, and the complicated circuit also causes the output signal of the shorting bar control circuit. The reaction time is too long. In other technologies, it is necessary to configure a set of voltages different from the supply voltage of the drive circuit to control the short-circuit control circuit.

需注意的是,如第4圖所示,在時間間隔T1中,也就是在同時模式中,自同時驅動單元120所輸出之驅動訊號DS1與切換訊號SC具有相同相位的位準,換句話說,可藉由改變切換訊號SC的工作週期而改變驅動訊號DS1的工作週期,進一步改變同時驅動時間。
It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 4, in the time interval T1, that is, in the simultaneous mode, the driving signal DS1 output from the
接續上述實施例,請一併參照第4圖以及第5D圖。在時間間隔T2中,控制訊號CL1具有低位準,電晶體T1導通、電晶體T2關斷,而節點Q位準為高電位,換句話說,具低位準的控制訊號CL1經過反向器121後被輸出為具高電位的訊號。接著,響應於節點Q的高電位,電晶體T3關斷、電晶體T5導通,以及響應切換至低電位的切換訊號SC,電晶體T4導通、電晶體T6關斷,相應地節點N具低電位(與具低電位的供應電壓端VGL導通),換句話說,反或閘122的第一輸入端(節點Q)接收高電位,其第二輸入端(切換訊號SC)接收低電位,則其輸出端(節點N)輸出低電位。電晶體T7相應低電位的切換訊號SC導通,使得節點K具高電位,電晶體T8相應
低電位的控制訊號CL1關斷,電晶體T9相應地關斷、電晶體T10關斷,此時同時驅動單元120不輸出任何訊號。在一些實施例中,同時驅動單元120的輸出端為浮動狀態(floating)。但本案並不以此為限。
Continuing the above embodiment, please refer to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5D together. In the time interval T2, the control signal CL1 has a low level, the transistor T1 is turned on, the transistor T2 is turned off, and the node Q is at a high level. In other words, the control signal CL1 with a low level passes through the
請參照第6圖。第6圖為根據本案一實施例所繪示如第1圖中所示的掃描驅動單元130的示意圖。如第6圖所示,掃描驅動單元130包含電晶體T11、T12、T13、T14、T15、T16以及電容器C1、C2。電晶體T11與電晶體T12、T15、T16耦接,電晶體T12與電容器C1耦接,電晶體T14與電晶體T15、T16耦接,以及電晶體T13與電容器C1、C2耦接。掃描驅動單元130用以響應掃描訊號IN、脈衝訊號CK1、CK2操作以輸出驅動訊號DS2作輸出訊號OUT至畫素陣列200。需注意的是,如第6圖中所示的掃描驅動單元130僅為作事例用,任何用以在不同致能時段依序提供脈衝訊號以驅動多列畫素的電路,如任何GOA電路,均可用以實施本案,本領域具通常知識者應理解GOA作動原理,在此將不再贅述GOA電路的運作過程。
Please refer to Figure 6. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of the
請再參照第4圖。在時間間隔T2中,控制訊號CL1具低電位、控制訊號CL2具高電位,使得掃描驅動單元130被致能且控制電路110導通,使得掃描驅動單元130產生的驅動訊號DS2作為輸出訊號OUT。如第4圖所示,當掃描訊號IN為一脈衝訊號,經掃描驅動單元130內各元件的協同操作以輸出相應的脈衝訊號作為驅動訊號DS2,而控制電路110響應控制訊號CL1、CL2導通,接著控制電路110自掃描驅動單元130輸出輸出訊號OUT。
Please refer to Figure 4 again. In the time interval T2, the control signal CL1 has a low potential and the control signal CL2 has a high potential, so that the
請參照第7圖。第7圖為根據本案另一實施例所繪示的驅動電路100及畫素陣列200的方塊示意圖。如第7圖所示,驅動電路100包含多個掃描驅動單元1301~130n,控制電路110相應地包含多組耦接的開關111~112,畫素陣列2001~200n與控制電路110中的多組開關111~112耦接,以及至少一同時驅動單元120與掃描驅動單元1301~130n耦接。在一些實施例中,於同時模式時,同時驅動單元120同時驅動畫素陣列2001~200n。而在一些實施例中,驅動電路100包含的同時驅動單元110與掃描驅動的數量為1比N,N為等於或大於1的一正整數。
Please refer to Figure 7. FIG. 7 is a block diagram of the driving
綜合以上所述,本案的驅動電路及其操作方法,透過精簡的控制電路選擇性導通而分別自同時驅動單元與漸進掃描驅動單元輸出訊號,並透過輸出訊號將畫素陣列分別驅動於同時驅動模式與漸進掃描驅動模式,如此,藉由在驅動電路中應用本案所提供的控制電路,將大幅減少驅動電路的體積。 In summary, the driving circuit and its operation method of the present case can output signals from the simultaneous driving unit and the progressive scanning driving unit through the selective conduction of the simplified control circuit, and drive the pixel array in the simultaneous driving mode through the output signals. Compared with the progressive scan driving mode, in this way, by applying the control circuit provided in this case in the driving circuit, the volume of the driving circuit will be greatly reduced.
