Description

Display panel
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a display technology, and more particularly, to a display device using an antenna and a scan line for dot inversion driving and signal compensation.
Background
Currently, wireless transmission technology has been applied to signal transmission of display panels. In general, a display panel includes a peripheral non-display region, which is used to set a plurality of Integrated Circuits (ICs) as Data drivers (Data drivers) that supply Data signals (Data signals) to pixels of the display panel. In order to reduce or eliminate the peripheral non-display area, a wireless transmission technique can be applied to transmit data signals to achieve a high data transmission speed and to reduce the loss of the resistance-capacitance delay (RC delay).
However, when the wireless transmission technology is used in a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) device, in a large-sized (e.g., greater than 85 ") and high-resolution (over 8K) LCD device, a capacitive loading (RC loading) may be important, and it does not have an antenna arrangement that can allow the pixel to perform a dot inversion driving mode. Furthermore, in a display panel having a plurality of Scan lines (Scan lines) for providing pixel Scan signals (Scan signals), the Scan lines generate cross regions (cross areas) with the receiving antennas, thereby increasing the load of the Scan lines. Because each of the scan lines has a different corresponding position with respect to the receiving antenna, the load increase of each of the scan lines should be different, resulting in a significant load difference between the scan lines.

Detailed Description
The embodiments of the invention presented will be apparent from the description and drawings of embodiments thereof, and other variations and modifications which do not depart from the spirit and scope of the novel concept are intended to be covered by the invention.
The following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention will be better understood when read in conjunction with the appended drawings, which are not intended to limit the scope of the invention, but rather to limit the sequence of operations performed by the embodiments, and any structures resulting from the rearrangement of elements, which have equivalent functions, are intended to cover the scope of the invention. Moreover, the drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not drawn to scale in accordance with established standards and practice in the industry, and the dimensions of various features may be arbitrarily increased or decreased for clarity of illustration. In the following description, like elements will be described with like reference numerals for ease of understanding.
The words (terms) used throughout the specification and claims have the ordinary meaning as commonly understood in the art, in the context of the invention, and in the specific context, unless otherwise indicated. Certain words used to describe the invention are discussed below or elsewhere in this specification to provide additional guidance to those skilled in the art in describing the invention. For convenience, certain terms may be identified in a significant manner, such as by using italics and/or quotation marks. The manner of usage of the significant indicia has no effect on the scope and meaning of the terms; the scope and meaning of terms, whether or not expressly disclosed, are the same in the same context. It should be understood that the same thing can be discussed in more than one way. Thus, alternative language and synonyms may be used for any one or more of the terms discussed herein, and have no special meaning as to whether a term is set forth or discussed in detail herein. Synonyms for certain terms are provided. Recitation of one or more synonyms does not exclude the use of other synonyms. The implementations presented herein are for illustration only and in no way limit the scope and meaning of the invention or any other exemplary terms. As such, the present invention is not limited to the various embodiments set forth in this specification.
Also, when an element is referred to as being "on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements may be present therebetween. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on" another element, there are no intervening elements present. As used herein, "and/or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
When an element is referred to as being "connected" or "coupled," it can be referred to as being "electrically connected" or "electrically coupled. "connected" or "coupled" may also be used to indicate that two or more elements are in mutual engagement or interaction. Furthermore, although terms such as "first," "second," etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, such terms are used only to distinguish one element or operation from another element or operation described in the same technical terms. Unless the context clearly dictates otherwise, the terms do not specifically refer or imply an order or sequence nor are they intended to limit the invention.
Furthermore, as used herein, the terms "comprising," including, "" having, "" containing, "and the like are open-ended terms, i.e., mean" including, but not limited to. Further, as used herein, "and/or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
Also, as used herein, comparative words such as "lower," "bottom," "upper," "top," "left," or "right," etc., are used merely to illustrate the illustrations in the embodiments referenced herein. Relative terms of orientation other than the orientation shown in the drawings are intended to be encompassed. For example, if the device is turned over in the drawings, the description of one element relative to another may vary from "lower" to "higher". Wherein the term "lower" may include two directional orientations, "lower" and "higher," depending only on the orientation of the figure. Similarly, if the device is turned over in the drawings, the description of one element relative to another may refer to "lower" or "lower" as opposed to "upper". The terms "lower" or "below" and the like may include two orientations in the up or down direction.
The terms "about", "approximately" and the like as used herein are generally expressed as being within 20%, or preferably within 10%, or more preferably within 5% of a constant or average value. Numerical values set forth herein are approximations that may be calculated to mean "about", "approximately", and the like.
The feeding end of the receiving antenna is referred to as the actual feeding end and is electrically connected to the corresponding signal line. Generally, a receiving antenna has an external feed terminal and an internal feed terminal, wherein one of the external feed terminal and the internal feed terminal is used as a "feed terminal", and the other of the external feed terminal and the internal feed terminal is used as a ground or is electrically connected to a reference voltage potential (e.g., a common voltage V provided by a common electrode)COM)。
The embodiments described herein are described in conjunction with the figures. For the purposes of this document, a display panel and a display device for wireless signal transmission according to the present invention will be described in a specific and broad manner.
As described above, a display panel can employ a wireless transmission technology to achieve the effect of high data transmission speed. In one example, a magnetically coupled antenna can utilize a transmitter and a receiver for wireless transmission. For example, when the transmitting antenna Tx has a current, the transmitting antenna Tx generates a magnetic field. The magnetic field causes the receiving antenna Rx corresponding to the transmitting antenna Tx to generate an induced current. Accordingly, a signal is transmitted from the transmitting antenna Tx to the corresponding receiving antenna Rx. However, for larger display device requirements, a serious voltage drop problem (also called IR drop) is caused by current during data line transmission. Therefore, the present invention proposes a Block driving mechanism (Block driving mechanism) to solve the IR drop problem by splitting the display panel into a plurality of distinct blocks and driving each Block independently with different receiving antennas. In addition, the present invention also proposes a Tiled display apparatus (Tiled display apparatus).

Fig. 3 is a top view of an antenna according to an embodiment of the invention. Specifically, the antenna 300 shown in fig. 3 can be the receiving antenna Rx of the receiving antenna structure 150 in fig. 1A.

In some embodiments, the winding direction of the antenna 200 may be clockwise or counterclockwise. In addition, the antenna 300 includes a plurality of vertical segments 310 and a plurality of horizontal segments 320, thereby forming a plurality of turns of conductive wires. As shown in fig. 3, the number of windings N of the antenna 300 is 3, which means that the antenna 300 has 3 turns of wire. In some embodiments, the number of windings N of the antenna 300 can be determined based on desired transmission characteristics of the antenna 300.
In some embodiments, induced decibels (dB) can be used as a transmission characteristic parameter of the antenna to reflect the transmission performance of the antenna. In the field of wireless transmission, the value of the induced decibel (dB) of the antenna is expressed as the ratio Rx/Tx, which is the ratio of the receiving antenna Rx to the transmitting antenna Tx. For example, if the power of Rx/Tx is X, the size of Rx/Tx is (X)1/2 and the induced decibel (dB) is 10 × log 10X. Generally, an antenna with an induced decibel greater than-10 dB indicates an acceptable wireless transmission performance, while an antenna with an induced decibel close to 0dB indicates an excellent wireless transmission performance (i.e., minimum transmission loss).
Referring to fig. 2B, the receiving antenna 240 is electrically connected to the pixel of the pixel circuit and is connected to the external feed terminal of the receiving antenna 240. In some embodiments, the receiving antenna can be electrically connected to the corresponding data line and connected to the external feed end or the internal feed end of the data line.

As described above, for the LCD device using the wireless transmission technology, in the LCD device having a large size (e.g., greater than 85 ") and a high resolution (e.g., more than 8K), the capacitive loading (RC loading) is important, and it does not have an antenna configuration that allows the pixel to perform a Dot inversion driving mode (Dot inversion driving mode). To overcome this drawback, the present invention provides a display panel for implementing the receiving antenna with Dot inversion (Dot inversion) and the corresponding pixel arrangement.
Fig. 4A is a schematic diagram of an antenna block of a receiving antenna structure according to an embodiment of the invention, and fig. 4B is the schematic diagram of the antenna block in fig. 4A.

As shown in fig. 4A, the receiving antenna structure 400 includes a plurality of antenna blocks 410, and the antenna blocks 410 are arranged in a matrix, and each of the antenna blocks 410 corresponds to a gate driver X-GOA 420 and a gate driver Y-GOA 430. The gate driver X-GOA 420 is connected to a set of m X scan lines X1-Xm extending along the column direction (i.e., the X direction). The gate driver Y-GOA 430 is connected to a set of n Y scan lines Y1-Yn extending along the row direction (i.e., the Y direction). And m and n are positive integers. In other words, each of the antenna blocks 410 corresponds to m × n pixels. As shown in fig. 4B, each of the antenna blocks 410 includes an antenna 412, two diodes 414A, 414B, two transistors (e.g., switch 416A and switch 416B), and a bridge 418.

Fig. 4C is a schematic diagram illustrating connections among a plurality of pixels, a plurality of scan lines, and bridges in an antenna block according to an embodiment of the invention. Specifically, the antenna block 410 in the upper left portion of fig. 4C includes three X scanning lines X1, X2, X3 and three Y scanning lines Y1, Y2, Y3. Wherein the X scan lines and the Y scan lines cross (cross) the antenna 412 and are electrically connected to 3 × 3 pixels 450.

Fig. 5A is a schematic diagram illustrating an antenna block connected to a pixel according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 5A, the antenna block includes a receive antenna Rx, two diodes 514A, 514B, two transistors (e.g., switches 516A and 516B), and a branch 518B of a bridge structure. The receiving antenna Rx, the diodes 514A, 514B and the transistors (e.g., switches 516A and 516B) correspond to and are the same elements as those in fig. 4A and 4B, including the antenna 412, the two diodes 414A, 414B, and the two transistors (e.g., switch 416A and switch 416B), and therefore will not be described further. The pixel includes two scan transistors 540 and 542 and a capacitor 550, and the scan transistors 540 and 542 are respectively connected to the scan lines X1 and Y1. Further, one transmission antenna Tx is provided to correspond to one reception antenna Rx.
Fig. 5B is a timing diagram illustrating a plurality of scanning signals and a plurality of clock signals of the antenna block and the pixel in fig. 5A according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 5B, each of the scan signals is provided by the scan lines X1 to Xm and Y1 to Yn, and the clock signals Odd _ CK and Even _ CK are Pulse wave signals (Pulse wave signals) and have corresponding fixed periods and fixed Pulse beam widths. The pulse signal has an on period (Conduction period) and an off period (Turn-off period). Specifically, the on period of each scan signal is indicated as high, and the off period of each scan signal is indicated as low, but the above-mentioned indications of potentials are not limited thereto. As shown in fig. 5B, the Odd clock signal Odd _ CK and the Even clock signal Even _ CK are in opposite phases (Phase-inverted) between consecutive frames (frames). Specifically, in the first frame F1, in the period 560, the scan signals X1 and Y1 are transmitted from the corresponding turn-on periods, so as to turn on the corresponding scan transistors 540 and 542 in the pixel, as shown in fig. 5A. In the period 560, the Odd clock signal Odd _ CK is in the on period, and the Even clock signal Even _ CK is in the off period. In a second frame F2, in the period 570, the scan signals X1 and Y1 are transmitted from the corresponding turn-on periods, so as to turn on the corresponding scan transistors 540 and 542 in the pixel, as shown in fig. 5A. In the period 570, the Odd clock signal Odd _ CK is in the off period, and the Even clock signal Even _ CK is in the on period. In other words, for the pixel 550 in consecutive frames, the Odd clock signal Odd _ CK and the Even clock signal Even _ CK are opposite in Phase (Phase-inverted) signals, thereby allowing the diodes 514A, 514B and the switches 516A, 516B to be alternately turned on to form a plurality of parallel channels.
FIG. 5C is a schematic diagram illustrating voltage transmission of the pixel in FIG. 5A in the first frame as shown in FIG. 5B when the odd clock signal is turned on according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5C, in the first frame F1, during the period 560, the Odd clock signal Odd _ CK is in the ON period, and the Even clock signal Even _ CK is in the OFF period. Thus, the first switch 516A is on and the second switch 516B is off (and thus not shown in fig. 5C). Herein, the common voltage VCOMWill be greater than the voltage V of the pixelpixel. Therefore, when the receiving antenna Rx is induced by the transmitting antenna Tx to generate the voltage difference Δ V, the voltage level of the feeding terminal of the receiving antenna Rx becomes VCOM+ Δ V, thereby allowing the receive antenna Rx to charge the capacitor 550 of the pixel through the first parallel channel formed by the first diode 514A and the first switch 516A.
FIG. 5D is a schematic diagram illustrating voltage transmission of the pixel of FIG. 5A in the first frame of FIG. 5B with the even clock signal on according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5D, in the second frame F2, in the period 570, the Even clock signal Even _ CK is in the on period, and the Odd clock signal Odd _ CK is in the off period. Thus, the second switch 516B is turned on, and the first switch 516A is turned off (thus not shown in fig. 5D). Herein, the voltage of the pixelVpixelWill be greater than the common voltage VCOM. Thus, the capacitor 550 of the pixel discharges the voltage stored on the receive antenna Rx through the second parallel path formed by the second diode 514B and the second switch 516B.
It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 5B, there is a blank period BLK between consecutive frames F1, F2, wherein all signals are asserted to the off period to allow the Odd clock signal Odd _ CK and the Even clock signal Even _ CK to be Reset (Reset) in the second frame F2 and to be switched to a different phase than in the first frame F1. The length of the blanking period BLK may vary. In some embodiments, the blanking period BLK is set to be not present between consecutive frames F1, F2 by setting the signal to be specific.
As in the previous embodiment, there is only one such common electrode VCOM. In some embodiments, the display panel includes a plurality of common electrodes disposed on different layers and not connected to each other. Here, each of the common electrodes has a different dc voltage potential. For example, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of an antenna block of a receiving antenna structure according to another embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 6, the difference between the receiving antenna structure 600 and the receiving antenna structure 400 shown in fig. 4A is that the receiving antenna structure 600 has three different common electrodes VCOM-1、VCOM-2、VCOM-3. Therefore, the reference terminal of each antenna block 610 is allowed to be electrically connected to one of the common electrodes VCOM-1、VCOM-2、VCOM-3. The other structures, elements and layers of the receiving antenna structure 600 are corresponding to and identical to those of the receiving antenna structure 400 shown in fig. 4A, and will not be described again here. Specifically, as shown in fig. 6, in the top row of the antenna block, the antenna at the leftmost side of the antenna block is electrically connected to the common electrode VCOM-1, the antenna at the middle side of the antenna block is electrically connected to the common electrode VCOM-3, the antenna at the rightmost side of the antenna block is electrically connected to the common electrode VCOM-2. In the middle of the antenna blockThe antenna at the leftmost side of the antenna block is electrically connected to the common electrode VCOM-2, the antenna at the middle side of the antenna block is electrically connected to the common electrode VCOM-1, the antenna at the rightmost side of the antenna block is electrically connected to the common electrode VCOM-3. In the bottom row of the antenna block, the antenna at the leftmost side of the antenna block is electrically connected to the common electrode VCOM-3, the antenna at the middle side of the antenna block is electrically connected to the common electrode VCOM-2, the antenna at the rightmost side of the antenna block is electrically connected to the common electrode VCOM-1. Herein, any two adjacent antenna blocks 610, no matter in the row direction or the column direction, will be electrically connected to one of the common electrodes V respectivelyCOM-1、VCOM-2 or VCOM-3, and the common electrode is different.
As in the above embodiments, the gate driver is disposed in the peripheral region of the display panel. In some embodiments, the gate driver can be moved to the display area and disposed between the antenna blocks. Thereby reducing or eliminating the peripheral region of the display panel. For example, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of an antenna block of a receiving antenna structure according to still another embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 7, the receiving antenna structure 700 includes a plurality of antenna blocks 710, and the antenna blocks 710 are arranged in a 2 × 2 matrix. Specifically, the gate driver X-GOA 720 is disposed between the antenna blocks 710 of two adjacent rows, and the gate driver Y-GOA 730 is disposed between the antenna blocks 710 of two adjacent columns. In other words, each gate driver is disposed between any two adjacent antenna blocks 710 in the display area. The structure and elements of the antenna block 710 correspond to and are the same as those of the antenna block 410 shown in fig. 4A and 4B, and thus will not be described further.
As described in the above embodiments, the X scan lines X1 to Xm and the Y scan lines Y1 to Yn can form the crossing regions with the antennas Rx. Specifically, the crossing region between the receiving Antenna and the scanning line is referred to as an "Antenna crossing region". For example, fig. 8A is a schematic diagram illustrating an intersection region between a receiving antenna and a scan line according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 8A, the antenna block 800 has antennas 810, the antennas 810 correspond to 60X scan lines X1 to X60 and 27Y scan lines Y1 to Y27, and the number of windings N of the antennas 810 is 3. Among the X scan lines, the X scan line X1 at the leftmost side of the X scan line does not form the antenna crossing region with the antenna 810. And, the scan line X60 at the rightmost side of the X scan line forms only one antenna intersection region 840 with the antenna 810. However, the scan line X30 at the middle side of the X scan line, which forms six antenna intersection regions 820 in total with the antenna 810, is twice the number of windings N. Of the Y scan lines, the Y scan lines Y1 and Y27 at the top and bottom of the Y scan line do not form the antenna crossing region with the antenna 810. However, the Y scan line Y13 at the middle side of the Y scan line and the antenna 810 form six antenna intersection regions 830 in total. It should be noted that the scan lines located at the center and the corresponding antenna 810 should form more of the antenna intersection region 830, and the scan lines located adjacent to the peripheral region and the corresponding antenna 810 should form less of the antenna intersection region 830.
Fig. 8B is a schematic diagram illustrating an intersection region between a part of the horizontal receiving antenna and the X scanning line in fig. 8A according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 8C is a schematic diagram illustrating an intersection region between a part of the vertical receiving antenna and the Y scanning line in fig. 8A according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 8B, the width of the X scanning line X30 is 6 μm, and the width of the horizontal segment of the antenna 810 is 50 μm. Thus, the antenna crossover region 820 is 300 μm2. As shown in fig. 8C, the width of the Y scanning line Y13 is 6 μm, and the width of the vertical segment of the antenna 810 is 30 μm. Thus, the antenna crossover region 820 is 180 μm2
As shown in the scan lines of FIG. 8A, the load (10 loading) of each scan line is associated with the crossover region of the scan line to which it corresponds. For example, fig. 8D is a timing chart of capacitance values of the X scan lines in fig. 8A according to an embodiment of the invention, and fig. 8E is a timing chart of capacitance values of the Y scan lines in fig. 8A according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 8D, the X-scan line X1 (which does not form the cross-over region with the antenna 810) at the leftmost side of the X-scan line has a capacitance of about 5.5F, and the X-scan line X30 (which forms six cross-over regions with the antenna 810) at the middle side has a capacitance of about 6.5F. As shown in fig. 8E, the Y scan line Y1 (which does not form the crossover region with the antenna 810) at the top most side of the Y scan line has a capacitance of about 11.5F, and the Y scan line Y13 (which forms six crossover regions with the antenna 810) at the middle side has a capacitance of about 12.6F. The intersection region refers to a region where the water projection of the X scanning line or the Y scanning line overlaps or coincides with the vertical projection of the antenna coil. The cross-over or overlap is shown in fig. 8B and 8C.
It should be noted that fig. 8A only shows one antenna crossover region formed by the receiving antenna 810 and the scan line. Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram illustrating an intersection region between a receiving antenna and a scanning line in a display panel according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 9, the display panel 900 includes a plurality of receiving antennas, and the receiving antennas are arranged in a matrix. Therefore, the number of the antenna crossing regions per one scan line increases, and the difference in the load between the scan lines is also amplified, thereby causing an uneven load structure. In order to compensate for the above-mentioned drawback, the present invention further provides a display panel, and the display panel has specific scan lines and common electrodes for compensating the load between the scan lines. In order to compensate for the problem of uneven load on the scanning line due to the area intersecting the antenna coil, the following technique can be used to solve the problem.
Fig. 10A is a schematic diagram illustrating an intersection region between a receiving antenna and a scanning line according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIG. 10A, the common electrode VCOMHas a plurality of strip portions disposed around the receive antenna 1010. For the X scanning lines X1-X60, each X scanning line has a crossing portion, and each crossing portion overlaps the common electrode VCOMThe horizontal strip portion of (a). For example, the X scan line X30 at the middle side of the X scan line has a corresponding cross-over portion 1020, which is the most significant portion of the X scan lineThe X-ray X1 on the left side has the corresponding cross-over part 1022, and the X-ray X60 on the rightmost side has the corresponding cross-over part 1024. The other two X-scan lines X68 and X53 are shown in fig. 10A, and have the corresponding cross sections 1026 and 1028, respectively. Similarly, for the Y scan lines Y1 through Yn, each of the Y scan lines has a crossing portion, and each of the crossing portions overlaps the common electrode VCOMPerpendicular to the strip portion. For example, the Y scan line Y13 at the middle side of the Y scan line has the corresponding cross portion 1030, the Y scan line Y1 at the top side of the Y scan line has the corresponding cross portion 1032, and the Y scan line Y27 at the bottom side of the Y scan line has the corresponding cross portion 1034. The other two Y scan lines Y5 and Y22 are shown as 10A, and have corresponding crossing portions 1036 and 1038, respectively. Therefore, the width of the crossing portion of the X scanning line and the Y scanning line can be used for achieving the purpose of compensation. The above-mentioned crossover or overlap being the common electrode VCOMThe area of the X scanning line and the area of the Y scanning line in the horizontal projection direction are partially overlapped or overlapped. In order to compensate the uneven load, the scan line and the common electrode V outside the antenna coil are designed according to the embodiment of the present inventionCOMThe scanning lines crossing the parts 1022, 1034, etc. are arranged more inside the antenna coil than the scanning lines and the common electrode VCOMThe scan lines crossing the sections 1020, 1030 have a large area.
Fig. 10B is a schematic diagram illustrating an intersection region between the X-scan line and the horizontal stripe portion of the common electrode in fig. 8A according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 10B, in the X scanning line X30 on the middle side of the X scanning line, the width W30 of the crossing portion 1020 is equal to the width of the remaining portion. In other words, the X scan line X30 on the middle side of the X scan line, which is the center scan line of the X scan lines X1 to X60, has a constant width in the X scan line X30 and the crossing portion 1020. On the other hand, in the X scan line X1 at the leftmost side of the X scan line, the width W1 of the crossing portion 1022 is greater than the width of the remaining portion (also W30, since the crossing portions of all the X scan lines have the same width). Similarly, at the X-scan line X60 on the rightmost side of the X-scan line, the width of the cross portion 1024 is also greater than the width of the remaining portion (also W30). Referring to fig. 10A again, the widths of the respective crossing portions 1026 and 1028 of the X scan line X8 and the X scan line X53 are respectively greater than the widths of the corresponding remaining portions. In addition, the width W1 of the crossing portion 1022 of the X-ray line X1 at the leftmost side of the X-ray line is W1 greater than the width of the crossing portion 1026 of the X-ray line X8. Moreover, the width of the crossing portion 1026 of the X scanning line X8 is greater than the width W30, wherein the width of the crossing portion 1020 of the X scanning line X30 at the middle side of the X scanning line is W30. Similarly, the width of the cross portion 1024 of the X scan line X60 at the rightmost side of the X scan line is greater than the width of the cross portion 1028 of the X scan line X53. Moreover, the width of the crossing portion 1028 of the X scanning line X53 is greater than the width W30, wherein the width of the crossing portion 1020 of the X scanning line X30 at the middle side of the X scanning line is W30. The width of the crossing portions 1030 and 1038 of the Y scan lines is also the same as the above arrangement for the width thereof, which will not be described further herein.
In some embodiments, the width of the crossing portion of each scan line is determined by the total crossing area of the antenna crossing region corresponding to each scan line. For example, the width of the crossing portion 1020 of the X scan line X30 on the middle side of the X scan line, which has the largest number and largest crossing area of the antenna crossing area, does not need to be adjusted. In contrast, the X-scan lines X1, X60 at the leftmost and rightmost sides of the X-scan line, which have the smallest number and smallest crossover regions of the antenna crossover region, have widths of the crossover portions 1022, 1024 that increase significantly as the loads of the X-scan lines X1 to X60 increase. In this way, the load distribution among the X-scan lines can be set evenly.
FIG. 10C is a timing diagram illustrating the compensation region of the X-scan line in FIG. 8A according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 10D is a timing diagram illustrating the capacitance of the X scan line in FIG. 8A according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 10C, the compensation region (i.e., the area of the crossing portion) of the X scan line X30 on the middle side of the X scan line is zero, because the width of the crossing portion 1020 is not increased by the X scan line X30 on the middle side of the X scan line. In contrast, the compensation region (i.e., the area of the crossing portion) of each of the X scan lines X1-X60 is maximized because the width of the crossing portions 1022, 1024 is significantly increased for each of the X scan lines X1-X60.
