图1a为根据本发明一实施例所示出的显示面板100的示意图。显示面板100包括第一显示部110、第二显示部120、数据驱动器130、第一栅极驱动器140与第二栅极驱动器150。第一显示部110与第二显示部120可各自包括多个以矩阵形式排列的像素,此些像素可根据数据驱动器130所输出的数据信号显示画面,且第一显示部110与第二显示部120可并列配置,并分别显示同一画面的不同部分(例如:分别显示同一画面的左半部与右半部)。FIG. 1 a is a schematic diagram of a
第一显示部110可包括多条扫描线S_1、S_2、…、S_n与多条数据线D_1、D_2、…、D_m。数据线D_1、D_2、…、D_m与扫描线S_1、S_2、…、S_n交错配置。The
扫描线S_1、S_2、…、S_n用以依序传送多个第一扫描信号至第一显示部110的每一行像素,借此开启像素中的开关(如:薄膜晶体管开关),以使数据驱动器130所输出的数据信号得以通过数据线D_1、D_2、…、D_m依序写入第一显示部110的每一行像素。The scan lines S_1, S_2, . The data signals output by 130 are sequentially written into each row of pixels of the
第二显示部120包括多条扫描线S_n+1、S_n+2、…、S_2n以及多条数据线D_m+1、D_m+2、…、D_2m。数据线D_m+1、D_m+2、…、D_2m与扫描线S_n+1、S_n+2、…、S_2n交错配置。扫描线S_n+1、S_n+2、…、S_2n在第一扫描信号传送的方向上分别与扫描线S_1、S_2、…、S_n并列配置,也即,扫描线S_n+1与扫描线S_1并列而设置在第二显示部120中,扫描线S_n+2与扫描线S_2并列而设置在第二显示部120中,以此类推。扫描线S_n+1、S_n+2、…、S_2n与扫描线S_1、S_2、…、S_n彼此相异且不连接。换句话说,扫描线S_1、S_2、…、S_n与扫描线S_n+1、S_n+2、…、S_2n彼此之间无实体上的连接关系,且其间距可依实际应用需求作调整。The
扫描线S_n+1、S_n+2、…、S_2n在多个第一扫描信号经依序传送之后用以依序传送多个第二扫描信号,借此开启像素中的开关,以使数据驱动器130所输出的数据信号得以通过数据线D_m+1、D_m+2、…、D_2m依序写入第二显示部120的每一行像素,而本实施例中的开关以薄膜晶体管为例,但是不以此为限。The scan
数据驱动器130包括多个数据输出接脚pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m,其中数据输出接脚pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m中的每一个皆电性连接数据线D_1、D_2、...、D_m中的一个与数据线D_m+1、D_m+2、…、D_2m中的一个;也即,数据输出接脚pin_1可连接数据线D_1与数据线D_m+1,数据输出接脚pin_2可连接数据线D_2与数据线D_m+2,以此类推。另外,数据驱动器130在实际操作上可以集成电路实现,但不限于此。The
同时参照图1b,其为图1a中显示面板100操作的时序图。如图1a和图1b所示,扫描线S_1可先传送第一扫描信号至第一显示部110的第一行像素,以使数据驱动器130所输出的数据信号通过数据线D_1、D_2、…、D_m分别写入第一显示部110的第一行像素,而后扫描线S_2可再传送另一第一扫描信号至第一显示部110的第二行像素,以使数据驱动器130所输出的数据信号通过数据线D_1、D_2、…、D_m分别写入第一显示部110的第二行像素,并以此类推。在扫描线S_n传送第一扫描信号至第一显示部110的最后一行像素后,扫描线S_n+1可接着传送第二扫描信号至第二显示部120的第一行像素,以使数据驱动器130所输出的数据信号通过数据线D_m+1、D_m+2、…、D_2m分别写入第二显示部110的第一行像素,而后扫描线S_n+2可再传送第二扫描信号至第二显示部120的第二行像素,以使数据驱动器130所输出的数据信号通过数据线D_m+1、D_m+2、…、D_2m分别写入第二显示部120的第二行像素,并以此类推。Also refer to FIG. 1b, which is a timing diagram of the operation of the
值得注意的是,在上述操作中,数据线D_1、D_2、…、D_m与数据线D_m+1、D_m+2、…、D_2m可同时用于传送数据驱动器130所输出的数据信号至第一显示部110与第二显示部120,并依据扫描线S_1、S_2、…、S_n与扫描线S_n+1、S_n+2、…、S_2n所传送的扫描信号以决定哪一行像素被写入数据信号。第一显示部110的每一行像素可在第一导通期间T1内依序被写入数据信号,而第二显示部120的每一行像素可在第二导通期间T2内依序被写入数据信号。It should be noted that, in the above operations, the data lines D_1, D_2, . . . , D_m and the data lines
通过上述的设置与操作,数据驱动器130的输出数据接脚pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m可为显示面板100中所有数据线D_1、D_2、…、D_2m数量的一半,如此可大幅降低数据驱动器130于设计上的复杂度。此外,借由第一显示部110与第二显示部120的设置,可使扫描线S_1、S_2、…、S_n与扫描线S_n+1、S_n+2、…、S_2n分别传送扫描信号至第一显示部110与第二显示部120,如此一来,每一行像素仅须设置一条扫描线,故在降低数据驱动器130的输出数据接脚pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m总数的同时,可进一步改善显示面板100中像素的开口率,例如相较于单行_像素上设置多条扫描线的像素而言,显示面板100中的单行像素具有较佳开口率。Through the above-mentioned setting and operation, the output data pins pin_1, pin_2, . Complexity in design. In addition, through the arrangement of the
另外,由于高频信号易受电容影响,导致信号的电压位准不足,因此在本发明的一些实施例中,每一扫描信号所持续的时间可包括一段预备时间以及一段像素充电时间。以扫描线S_1的扫描信号为例,预备时间可为Tp,像素充电时间可为Ts1。预备时间Tp可使扫描信号有充分时间转态(例如,低电位充电为高电位或高电位放电为低电位),如此一来,可使得像素内晶体管在像素充电时间内能够有足够时间进行数据写入。In addition, because the high frequency signal is easily affected by the capacitance, the voltage level of the signal is insufficient. Therefore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the duration of each scan signal may include a preparation time and a pixel charging time. Taking the scan signal of the scan line S_1 as an example, the preparation time may be Tp, and the pixel charging time may be Ts1. The preparation time Tp can allow sufficient time for the scan signal to transition (for example, charging from a low potential to a high potential or discharging a high potential to a low potential). In this way, the transistor in the pixel can have enough time to process data during the pixel charging time. write.
再者,在本发明的一些实施例中,扫描线S_1、S_2、…、S_2n所传送的扫描信号在一画面时段(frame)内分别产生,且任两相邻的第一扫描信号以及任两相邻的第二扫描信号相互具有一时间延迟Td。此处所谓的画面时段可为一次全画面更新的时段,在一些情况下,显示面板100的一个画面时段可为1/60秒,也即每秒更新全画面60次。此外,在一些实施例中,上述时间延迟Td的长度可等于扫描线S_1的扫描信号的像素充电时间Ts1。Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the scanning signals transmitted by the scanning lines S_1, S_2, ..., S_2n are respectively generated within a frame period (frame), and any two adjacent first scanning signals and any two adjacent first scanning signals Adjacent second scan signals have a time delay Td with each other. The so-called frame period here may be a period of updating a full frame, and in some cases, a frame period of the
此外,在本发明的一些实施例中第一栅极驱动器140配置于第一显示部110的一侧,电性连接于扫描线S_1、S_2、…、S_n,并用以依序产生第一扫描信号。第二栅极驱动器150配置于第二显示部的一侧,电性连接于扫描线S_n+1、S_n+2、…、S_2n,并用以依序产生第二扫描信号。在一些实施例中,第一栅极驱动器140与第二栅极驱动器150电性连接,并作为一个栅极驱动电路使用,以使第二栅极驱动器150能接续第一栅极驱动器140产生第二扫描信号。实际操作上,第一栅极驱动器140与第二栅极驱动器150可以移位暂存电路(shift register)实现,但不限于此。In addition, in some embodiments of the present invention, the
综观上述,本发明的一实施例为一种设置有两个显示部的显示面板,其中分布于不同显示部上的扫描线彼此并列而分开设置,且无实体上的直接连接关系,且扫描信号分别通过不同显示部上的扫描线传送至不同显示部。由于分布在不同显示部上且彼此并列的扫描线可分别负责开启或关闭部分数量(如:一半)的像素,因此如此设置可有效降低前述分开设置的扫描线的负载。此外,相较于利用多任务电路的显示面板,上述一些实施例中的显示面板由于不具多任务电路,故不需要快速切换多任务电路的高频信号,而显示面板中的每一行像素的充电时间也不因多任务电路的快速切换而减少,故可以电子迁移率较低的非晶硅(amorphous silicon,a-si)制作工艺进行制造。In view of the above, an embodiment of the present invention is a display panel provided with two display parts, wherein the scanning lines distributed on different display parts are arranged side by side and separated from each other, and there is no physical direct connection relationship, and the scanning signal They are transmitted to different display parts through scanning lines on different display parts respectively. Since the scan lines distributed on different display parts and parallel to each other can respectively turn on or turn off a part number (for example: half) of the pixels, such setting can effectively reduce the load of the separate scan lines. In addition, compared with the display panels using multitasking circuits, the display panels in some of the above embodiments do not have multitasking circuits, so there is no need to quickly switch the high-frequency signals of the multitasking circuits, and the charging of each row of pixels in the display panel The time is not reduced due to the fast switching of the multitasking circuit, so it can be manufactured in an amorphous silicon (a-si) manufacturing process with low electron mobility.
图2a为根据本发明一实施例所示出的显示面板200的示意图。显示面板200包括第一显示部110、第二显示部120与数据驱动器130。显示面板200中的第一显示部110、第二显示部120与数据驱动器130的结构大致与显示面板100中的对应结构相同,故在此不另赘述。FIG. 2a is a schematic diagram of a display panel 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The display panel 200 includes a
如图所示,相较于图1a所示的实施例,显示面板200还包括多任务电路260,多任务电路260电性连接于数据驱动器130的数据输出接脚pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m和数据线D_1、D_2、…、D_2m之间,用以选择性地导通数据输出接脚pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m和数据线D_1、D_2、…、D_2m其中之一。实际操作上,多任务电路260可以由多个开关器实现。
As shown in the figure, compared with the embodiment shown in FIG. 1a, the display panel 200 further includes a
通过如上述设置与操作,可使数据驱动器130的每一输出接脚pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m连接多条数据线但在同一时间仅与单一数据线导通,如此不但可大幅减少数据输出接脚pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m,也可显著地降低数据驱动器130的负载,而确保显示面板的画面质量。Through the above-mentioned setting and operation, each output pin pin_1, pin_2, ..., pin_m of the
在本发明一实施例中,当扫描线S_1、S_2、…、S_n依序传送第一扫描信号时,多任务电路260导通数据输出接脚pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m和第一数据线D_1、D_2、…、D_m,当第二扫描线S_1、S_2、…、S_n依序传送第二扫描信号时,多任务电路260导通数据输出接脚pin_1、pin2、…、pin_m和第二数据线D_m+1、D_m+2、…、D_2m。In one embodiment of the present invention, when the scan lines S_1, S_2, . , D_2, ..., D_m, when the second scan lines S_1, S_2, ..., S_n sequentially transmit the second scan signal, the
图2b为图2a中显示面板200操作的时序图。如图2a和图2b所示,多任务电路260可在一画面时段frame的第一导通期间T1使数据驱动器130的输出接脚pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m与数据线D_1、D_2、…、D_m分别连接并同时与第二数据线D_m+1、D_m+2、…、D_2m分别断路,在第二导通期间T2使数据驱动器130的输出接脚pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m与数据线D_m+1、D_m+2、…、D_2m分别连接并同时与数据线D_1、D_2、…、D_m分别断路。如此一来,便可使第一显示部110与第二显示部120的每一行像素依序被写入数据信号。FIG. 2b is a timing diagram of the operation of the display panel 200 in FIG. 2a. As shown in FIG. 2a and FIG. 2b, the
图2c为图2a中的多任务电路260的示意图。多任务电路260可包括多个第一开关M11、M12、…、M1m,以及多个第二开关M21、M22、…、M2m。第一开关M11、M12、…、M1m分别电性连接于数据输出接脚pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m和数据线D_1、D_2、…、D_m之间。第二开关M21、M22、...、M2m分别电性连接于数据输出接脚pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m和数据线D_m+1、D_m+2、…、D_2m之间。在一些实施例中,第一开关M11、M12、…、M1m可彼此连接,并共同由一第一控制线SW1控制,且第二开关M21、M22、…、M2m可彼此连接,并共同由一第二控制线SW2控制。FIG. 2c is a schematic diagram of the
再次参照图2b,在一画面时段frame中的第一导通期间T1,第一控制线SW1所传送的控制信号可开启第一开关M11、M12、…、M1m,以导通数据输出接脚pin_1、pin2、…、pin_m和数据线D_1、D_2、…、D_m。在一画面时段frame中的第二导通期间T2,第二控制线SW2所传送的控制信号可开启第二开关M21、M22、…、M2m,以导通数据输出接脚pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m和数据线D_m+1、D_m+2、…、D_2m。值得注意的是,当第一控制线SW1所传送的控制信号开启第一开关M11、M12、…、M1m时,第二控制线SW2所传送的控制信号可关闭第二开关M21、M22、…、M2m,以断路数据输出接脚pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m和数据线D_m+1、D_m+2、…、D_2m,并且反之亦然,如此可避免数据输出接脚pin_1、pin_2、…pin_m同时连接(或传送数据信号)至数据线D_1、D_2、…、D_m与数据线D_m+1、D_m+2、…、D_2m,以避免增加数据驱动器130的负载。Referring again to FIG. 2b, in the first conduction period T1 in a frame period frame, the control signal transmitted by the first control line SW1 can turn on the first switches M11, M12, . . . , M1m to turn on the data output pin pin_1. , pin2, ..., pin_m and data lines D_1, D_2, ..., D_m. During the second conduction period T2 in a frame period, the control signal transmitted by the second control line SW2 can turn on the second switches M21, M22, . . . , M2m to turn on the data output pins pin_1, pin_2, . pin_m and data
综观上述,本发明的一些实施例利用多任务电路在同一时间仅导通一条数据线,故可降低数据驱动器的负载。此外,相较于传统利用多任务电路的显示面板,在本发明的一些实施例中,多任务电路的控制信号大致对应于半个画面时段,故此些控制信号的频率较低、所消耗的功率较低,且较不易在切换时而减少像素的充电时间。In view of the above, some embodiments of the present invention use the multi-tasking circuit to conduct only one data line at a time, so that the load of the data driver can be reduced. In addition, compared with conventional display panels using multi-tasking circuits, in some embodiments of the present invention, the control signals of the multi-tasking circuits roughly correspond to half a picture period, so the frequency of these control signals is lower and the power consumption Lower, and less likely to reduce the charging time of the pixel when switching.
本发明的另一方式为一种显示面板的驱动方法。此驱动方法可用于驱动结构与前述图1a或图2a相同或类似的显示面板。为方便说明起见,下述驱动方法以图1a至图1b与图2a至图2c所示的实施例为例进行描述,但并不以此些图示的实施例为限。Another aspect of the present invention is a method for driving a display panel.

通过上述的驱动方法,可使数据驱动器130的输出数据接脚pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m为显示面板100中所有数据线D_1、D_2、…、D_2m数量的一半,如此可大幅降低数据驱动器130于设计上的复杂度。此外,在每一像素上仅通过的一条扫描线,因此在降低数据驱动器130的输出数据接脚pin_1、pin_2、…、pin_m总数的同时,显示面板100的开口率仍可维持不变。Through the above-mentioned driving method, the output data pins pin_1, pin_2, .

在本发明一实施例中,在画面时段frame内任两相邻的第一扫描信号以及任两相邻的第二扫描信号相互具有一时间延迟(如Td)。In an embodiment of the present invention, any two adjacent first scanning signals and any two adjacent second scanning signals have a time delay (such as Td) with each other within the frame period frame.
在本发明一实施例中,每一扫描信号所持续的时间可包括一段预备时间,如此设计可使扫描信号有充分时间转态,例如低电位充电为高电位或高电位放电为低电位。In an embodiment of the present invention, the duration of each scanning signal may include a preparatory time, so that the scanning signal has sufficient time to transition, such as charging from a low potential to a high potential or discharging a high potential to a low potential.
综观上述,运用本发明的实施例,可使数据驱动器的数据输出脚位减少一半,而大幅降低数据驱动器的复杂度。另外,运用本发明另一实施例,可避免在减少数据驱动器的数据输出脚位时加重数据驱动器的负载,而确保了显示面板的画面质量。In view of the above, by using the embodiments of the present invention, the number of data output pins of the data driver can be reduced by half, thereby greatly reducing the complexity of the data driver. In addition, using another embodiment of the present invention can avoid increasing the load of the data driver when reducing the data output pins of the data driver, thereby ensuring the picture quality of the display panel.
虽然本发明已以实施例揭示如上,然而其并非用以限定本发明,任何熟悉相关技术的技术人员,在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内,可作各种的变更与修饰,因此本发明的保护范围应当由所附的权利要求书所界定为准。Although the present invention has been disclosed above with the embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention.
