Accordingly, the node N has a high Potential (connected to the supply voltage terminal VGH with a high potential). In other words, the first input terminal (node Q) of the NOR gate 122 receives a low potential, and the second input terminal (switching signal SC) receives a low potential, then The output terminal (node N) outputs a high potential. The switching signal SC corresponding to the low potential of the transistor T7 is turned on, so that the node K has a high potential, the control signal CL1 of the corresponding high potential of the transistor T8 and the high potential of the node K are turned off, the transistor T9 is turned off accordingly, and the transistor T10 is turned on. At this time, at the same time, the output terminal of the driving unit 120 outputs the low-level driving signal DS1 from the supply voltage terminal VGL as the output signal OUT.

接著,請一併參照第4圖以及第5C圖。在時間間隔T1中的子間隔T13中,控制訊號CL1具有高位準,電晶體T1關斷、電晶體T2導通,節點Q位準為低電位,反向器121輸出具低電位的訊號。接著,響應於節點Q的低電位,電晶體T3導通、電晶體T5關斷,以及響應於具高電位的切換訊號SC,電晶體T4關斷、電晶體T6導通,相應地節點N具低電位,換句話說,反或閘122的輸出端(節點N)輸出低電位。電晶體T7相應高電位的切換訊號SC關斷,電晶體T8相應高電位的控制訊號CL1導通,節點K具低電位,電晶體T9相應地導通、電晶體T10關斷,此時同時驅動單元120的輸出端自供應電壓端VGH輸出去高電位的驅動訊號DS1作輸出訊號OUT。 Next, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5C together.

In the time interval T1, the driving unit 120 responds to the high-level control signal CL1 to output the output signal OUT, and at the same time, the control circuit 110 is turned off in response to the control signals CL1 and CL2.

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 simultaneous driving unit 120 and the switching signal SC have the same phase level, in other words By changing the duty cycle of the switching signal SC, the duty cycle of the driving signal DS1 can be changed to further change the simultaneous driving time.

In other words, the control signal CL1 with a low level passes through the inverter 121 It is output as a signal with high potential. Then, in response to the high potential of the node Q, the transistor T3 is turned off, the transistor T5 is turned on, and in response to the switching signal SC that switches to the low potential, the transistor T4 is turned on and the transistor T6 is turned off, and accordingly the node N has a low potential (Connected to the supply voltage terminal VGL with a low potential). In other words, the first input terminal (node Q) of the NOR gate 122 receives a high potential, and its second input terminal (the switching signal SC) receives a low potential. The output terminal (node N) outputs a low potential. The switching signal SC corresponding to the low potential of the transistor T7 is turned on, so that the node K has a high potential, and the transistor T8 corresponds to The low-potential control signal CL1 is turned off, the transistor T9 is turned off accordingly, and the transistor T10 is turned off. At this time, the driving unit 120 does not output any signal. In some embodiments, the output terminal of the driving unit 120 is in a floating state. But this case is not limited to this.
