Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to liquid crystal displays and
methods of charging pixels of liquid crystal displays, and
particularly to a liquid crystal display and method of charging
pixels thereof that utilize enable signals of two
partially-overlapping consecutive gate lines and
sequentially-enabled switch enable lines to extend pixel charging
time.
[0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art
[0004] Please refer to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B. FIG. 1A is a diagram
illustrating a liquid crystal display (LCD) 100 capable of reducing
first data lines of a source driving circuit. FIG. 1B is a diagram
illustrating timing of operating gate lines G1, G2, G3 and switch
enable lines SW1, SW2, SW3 of the prior art. As shown in FIG. 1A,
first data line FD1 of source driving circuit corresponds to second
data lines SD11, SD12, SD13, and first data line FD2 of source
driving circuit corresponds to second data lines SD21, SD22, SD23.
Thus, liquid crystal display 100 uses switch enable lines SW1, SW2,
SW3 and a plurality of data line switches DS11, DS12, DS13, DS21,
DS22, DS23 to reduce number of first data lines of source driving
circuit. As shown in FIG. 1B, when gate line G1 is enabled and
switch enable lines SW1 are enabled, data voltage of first data
line FD1 charges second data line SD11 through data line switches
DS11, and second data line SD11 charges pixel P11 through pixel
switch PW11. Likewise, when gate line G1 is enabled and switch
enable line SW2 is also enabled, data voltage of first data line
FD1 charges second data line SD12 through data line switch DS12,
and second data line SD12 charges pixel P12 through pixel switch
PW12. When gate line G1 is enabled and switch enable line SW3 is
also enabled, data voltage of first data line FD1 charges second
data line SD13 through data line switches DS13, and second data
line SD13 charges pixel P13 through pixel switch PW13. As shown in
FIG. 1B, because switch enable lines SW1, SW2, SW3 are enabled
sequentially, charge time of pixel P11 is interval T1, charge time
of pixel P12 is interval T2, charge time of pixel P13 is interval
T3, where T1>T2>T3, which causes charge rates of pixel P11,
pixel P12, and pixel P13 to be different. Thus, liquid crystal
display 100 exhibits color distortion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0016] Please refer to FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B. FIG. 2A is a diagram
illustrating liquid crystal display 200, and FIG. 2B is a diagram
illustrating timing of operations of liquid crystal display 200.
Liquid crystal display 200 comprises LCD panel 202, source driving
circuit 204, gate driving circuit 206, and timing controller 208.
LCD panel 202 comprises a plurality of pixels, and each pixel of
the plurality of pixels is coupled to a corresponding pixel switch,
where each pixel switch is an N-type thin-film transistor or P-type
thin-film transistor. Source driving circuit 204 is used for
converting image data to a plurality of data voltages and enabling
M first data lines FD1-FDM, where M is a positive integer. Each
first data line of M first data lines FD1-FDM corresponds to a
plurality of data line switches, and each first data line is
charged/discharged according to a corresponding data voltage, where
each data line switch corresponds to one second data line and one
switch enable line of three switch enable lines SW1-SW3, and each
data line switch is either an N-type thin-film transistor or P-type
thin-film transistor. For example, first data line FD1 corresponds
to three data line switches DS11, DS12, DS13, first data line FD2
corresponds to three data line switches DS21, DS22, DS23, data line
switch DS11 corresponds to second data line SD11 and switch enable
line SW1, data line switch DS12 corresponds to second data line
SD12 and switch enable line SW2, and data line switch DS13
corresponds to second data line SD13 and switch enable line SW3.
Gate driving circuit 206 is used for enabling N gate lines G1-GN,
where N is a positive integer, and enable signals of two
neighboring gate lines are partially overlapping. Timing controller
208 is for sequentially enabling a plurality of switch enable lines
SW1-SW3.
[0017] As shown in FIG. 2B, while gate line G1 is enabled, and
source driving circuit 204 charges/discharges first data line FD1
according to corresponding data voltage, gate line G2 is
pre-enabled, namely enable signal of gate line G1 and enable signal
of gate line G2 partially overlap. Thus, when switch enable line
SW1, gate line G1 and gate line G2 are both enabled (period T1 of
FIG. 2B), first data line FD1 charges/discharges second data line
SD11 through turned on data line switches DS11 according to
corresponding data voltage, and second data line SD11
charges/discharges pixel P111 through turned on pixel switch PW111
according to corresponding data voltage. At this time, because gate
line G2 is also enabled, second data line SD11 also
charges/discharges pixel P211 through turned on pixel switch PW211
according to corresponding data voltage. Likewise, in period T2 of
FIG. 2B, first data line FD1 charges/discharges second data line
SD12 through turned on data line switch DS12 according to
corresponding data voltage, and second data line SD12
charges/discharges pixel P112 through turned on pixel switch PW112
according to corresponding data voltage. At this time, because gate
line G2 is also enabled, second data line SD12 also
charges/discharges pixel P212 according to corresponding data
voltage through turned on pixel switch PW212. Likewise, in period
T3 of FIG. 2B, first data line FD1 charges/discharges second data
line SD13 through turned on data line switch DS13 according to
corresponding data voltage, and second data line SD13
charges/discharges pixel P113 through turned on pixel switch PW113
according to corresponding data voltage. At this time, because gate
line G2 is also enabled, second data line SD13 also
charges/discharges pixel P213 through turned on pixel switch PW213
according to corresponding data voltage. As shown in FIG. 2B,
polarities of pixel P111 and pixel P211 are the same, polarities of
pixel P112 and pixel P212 are the same, and polarities of pixel
P113 and pixel P213 are the same. Thus, pixel P211, pixel P212 and
pixel P213 have already been pre-charged/pre-discharged by data
voltages corresponding to pixel P111, pixel P112, and pixel P113
prior to being charged by corresponding data voltages. Thus, liquid
crystal display 200 may increase charging rate of pixel P211, pixel
P212 and pixel P213. Additionally, operation timings of other gate
lines liquid crystal display 200 are similar to those of gate line
G1 and gate line G2, and are not described again here.
[0018] Please refer to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B. FIG. 3A is a diagram
illustrating a liquid crystal display 300 according to an
embodiment. FIG. 3B is a diagram illustrating operation timings of
liquid crystal display 300. Liquid crystal display 300 comprises
LCD panel 302, source driving circuit 304, gate driving circuit
306, timing controller 308. LCD panel 302 comprises a plurality of
pixels, where each pixel of the plurality of pixels is coupled to a
corresponding pixel switch, and each pixel switch is an N-type
thin-film transistor or a P-type thin-film transistor.
Additionally, each pixel switch has a first terminal coupled to a
corresponding pixel, a second terminal coupled to a corresponding
gate line, and a third terminal coupled to a corresponding second
data line. For example, pixel switch PW111 has a first terminal
coupled to pixel P111, a second terminal coupled to gate line G1,
and a third terminal coupled to second data line SD11. Source
driving circuit 304 is used for converting image data into a
plurality of data voltages and enabling M first data lines FD1-FDM,
where M is a positive integer, each first data line of the M first
data lines FD1-FDM corresponds to a plurality of data line
switches, and each first data line is charged/discharged according
to corresponding data voltage, where each data line switch
corresponds to a second data line and one of six switch enable
lines SW1-SW6, and data line switches are N-type thin-film
transistors or P-type thin-film transistors, but the present
invention is not limited to six switch enable lines SW1-SW6. For
example, first data line FD1 corresponds to three data line
switches DS11, DS12, DS13, first data line FD2 corresponds to three
data line switches DS21, DS22, DS23, data line switches DS11
corresponds to second data line SD11 and switch enable line SW1,
data line switch DS12 corresponds to second data line SD12 and
switch enable line SW2, data line switch DS13 corresponds to second
data line SD13 and switch enable line SW3, data line switch DS21
corresponds to second data line SD21 and switch enable line SW4,
data line switch DS22 corresponds to second data line SD22 and
switch enable line SW5, and data line switch DS23 corresponds to
second data line SD23 and switch enable line SW6. Additionally,
each data line switch has a first terminal coupled to a
corresponding first data line, a second terminal coupled to a
corresponding switch enable line, and a third terminal coupled to a
corresponding second data line. For example, data line switch DS11
has a first terminal coupled to first data line FD1, a second
terminal coupled to switch enable line SW1, and a third terminal
coupled to second data line SD11. Gate driving circuit 306 is used
for enabling N gate lines G1-GN, where N is a positive integer, two
neighboring gate lines have partially overlapping enable signals,
and two neighboring pixel switches of each row of pixels in LCD
panel 302 turn on and turn off according to enable signals of two
corresponding gate lines, respectively. For example, pixel switch
PW111 turns on and turns off according to enable signal of gate
line G1, and pixel switch PW221 turns on and turns off according to
enable signal of gate line G2. Timing controller 308 is used for
sequentially enabling a plurality of switch enable lines
SW1-SW6.
[0019] As shown in FIG. 3B, in region T1, gate line G1 is enabled
and switch enable lines SW1, SW2, SW3 are enabled sequentially,
where enable signal of gate line G1 is as long as the sum of
lengths of enable signals of switch enable lines SW1, SW2, SW3.
However, the present invention is not limited thereto, namely
enable signal of gate line G1 may have length longer than the sum
of lengths of enable signals of switch enable lines SW1, SW2, SW3.
Thus, when switch enable line SW1 and gate line G1 are both
enabled, first data line FD1 charges second data line SD11 through
turned on data line switch DS11 according to corresponding data
voltage, and second data line SD11 charges pixel P111 through
turned on pixel switch PW111 according to corresponding data
voltage. When switch enable line SW2 and gate line G1 are both
enabled, first data line FD1 charges second data line SD12 through
turned on data line switch DS12 according to corresponding data
voltage, and second data line SD12 charges pixel P112 through
turned on pixel switch PW112 according to corresponding data
voltage. When switch enable line SW3 and gate line G1 are both
enabled, first data line FD1 charges second data line SD13 through
turned on data line switch DS13 according to corresponding data
voltage, and second data line SD13 charges pixel P113 through
turned on pixel switch PW113 according to corresponding data
voltage. Likewise, in region T2, operation of gate line G2, second
data line FD2 and switch enable lines SW4, SW5, SW6 is similar to
that of gate line G1, second data line FD1 and switch enable lines
SW1, SW2, SW, and is not described again here. As shown in FIG. 3B,
enable signal of gate line G1 continues to region T2, so that pixel
P111, pixel P112 and pixel P113 are all charged continuously up to
region T2, i.e. in the partially overlapping period (region T2) of
enable signal of gate line G1 and enable signal of gate line G2,
pixel P111, pixel P112 and pixel P113 are charged continuously. In
this way, liquid crystal display 300 may have increased pixel
charging rate. Operation timings of remaining gate lines of liquid
crystal display 300 are the same as those of gate line G1 and gate
line G2, and are not described again here.
[0020] Please refer to FIG. 4, which is a diagram of liquid crystal
display 400. Liquid crystal display 400 comprises LCD panel 402,
source driving circuit 404, gate driving circuit 406, and timing
controller 408. Liquid crystal display 400 differs from liquid
crystal display 300 in that each pixel switch of each row of pixels
in LCD panel 402 turns on and turns off according to enable signal
of gate line corresponding to each row of pixels, and each two
neighboring pixels of each column of pixels in LCD panel 402 are
charged/discharged according to corresponding data voltages of two
second data lines corresponding to each row of pixels respectively.
For example, pixel P111, pixel P112 and pixel P113 turn on and turn
off according to enable signal of gate line G1, and pixel P111 and
pixel P221 are charged/discharged according to data voltages of
second data line SD11 and second data line SD21. Operation
principles and timings of liquid crystal display 400 are similar to
those of liquid crystal display 300, and are not described again
here.
[0021] Please refer to FIG. 5, which is a flowchart of a method of
charging/discharging pixels of a liquid crystal display according
to an embodiment. The method shown in FIG. 5 is illustrated with
reference to liquid crystal display 300 of FIG. 3A, and comprises
the following steps:
[0022] Step 502: Source driving circuit 304 converts image data
into a plurality of data voltages;
[0023] Step 504: First data line FD1 is charged/discharged
according to a data voltage of a plurality of data voltages;
[0024] Step 506: Gate driving circuit 306 enables gate line G1
corresponding to first data line FD1 of a plurality of gate lines
G1-GN;
[0025] Step 508: Timing controller 308 sequentially enables switch
enable lines SW1-SW3 of switch enable lines SW1-SW6 corresponding
to gate line G1;
[0026] Step 510: Turn on pixel switches PW111-PW113 corresponding
to gate line G1 according to enabled gate line G1;
[0027] Step 512: Sequentially turn on corresponding data line
switches DS11-DS13 according to sequentially enabled switch enable
lines SW1-SW3;
[0028] Step 514: Data voltages sequentially charge/discharge
corresponding second data lines SD11-SD13 through sequentially
turned on data line switches DS11-DS13;
[0029] Step 516: Charged/discharged second data lines SD11-SD13
charge corresponding pixels P111-P113 through turned on pixel
switches PW111-PW113.
[0030] In step 508, enable signal of gate line G1 is as long as the
sum of lengths of enable signals of switch enable lines SW1, SW2,
SW3. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, namely
enable signal of gate line G1 may be longer than the sum of lengths
of enable signals of switch enable lines SW1, SW2, SW3. In step
514, data voltage on first data line FD1 sequentially
charges/discharges second data lines SD11-SD13 through sequentially
turned on data line switches DS11-DS13. Thus, in step 516,
charged/discharged second data lines SD11-SD13 sequentially
charge/discharge pixels P111-P113 through turned on pixel switches
PW111-PW113. Likewise, as shown in FIG. 3A, data voltage on first
data line FD2 charges pixels P221-P223 according to steps shown in
FIG. 5, where pixels P221-P223 correspond to gate line G2. Thus, in
the embodiment of FIG. 5, pixels P111-P113 charged/discharged
during enable signal of gate line G1 are on the same row as pixels
P221-P223 charged/discharged during enable signal of G2.
Additionally, second data lines SD11-SD13 continuously
charge/discharge pixels P111-P113 through turned on pixel switches
PW111-PW113 during partially overlapping period of enable signal of
gate line G1 and enable signal of gate line G2.
[0031] Additionally, in another embodiment of FIG. 5 (corresponding
to liquid crystal display 400 of FIG. 4), data voltage on first
data line FD2 charges/discharges pixels P221-P223 according to the
steps of FIG. 5, where pixels P221-P223 correspond to gate line G2.
Thus, in another embodiment of FIG. 5, pixels P111-P113
charged/discharged during enable signal of gate line G1 and pixels
P221-P223 charged/discharged during enable signal of gate line G2
are pixels of two neighboring rows.
[0032] In summary, liquid crystal displays and methods of
charging/discharging pixels of liquid crystal displays disclosed
above utilize two consecutive, partially overlapping gate line
enable signals and sequentially enabled switch enable lines to
extend charging/discharging time of pixels. Thus, the embodiments
increase pixel charging rate to improve on the problem of the prior
art of different charging rates between pixels corresponding to the
same first data line.
[0033] Those skilled in the art will readily observe that numerous
modifications and alterations of the device and method may be made
while retaining the teachings of the invention. Accordingly, the
above disclosure should be construed as limited only by the metes
and bounds of the appended claims.
