Among them, [] is a Gaussian symbol, and L and S are respectively the total number of scanning lines of the liquid crystal display panel 20 and the number of scanning lines corresponding to the moving image area MR. For example, when 1 201030721 1 *v υ t \/羹 ' M-2 , when 2 <.s3, M=3; when 3<:^4, m=4, and so on. The picture rearranging unit 424 is controlled by the dividing unit 422 and rearranges the current frame f(n) according to the moving image area MR, and outputs the rearranged current frame F(n) via the timing controller 320 to the data driver 330' The data driver oscillates the data lines on the liquid crystal display panel 20 according to the rearranged current frame F(;n). The scan rearranging unit 426 is controlled by the dividing unit 422 and rearranges the scanning order output of the timing controller 320 according to the dynamic image area MR. The rearranged scan sequence Scan is output to the scan driver 340, so that the scan driver 34 scans the scan line on the liquid crystal display panel 2 according to the rearranged scan order. Please refer to Fig. 4' which shows a broom timing 当 when μ is equal to 2. Taking 16 scanning lines as an example, when the first to eighth scanning lines correspond to the still image, and the 9th to 16th scanning lines correspond to the moving image, the broom driver 340 is based on the rearranged scanning order. Scan, in the following screen time control: First, in the first face time T1, the first to 16 scan lines are sequentially enabled. Then in the second screen time T2, first It is possible to scan lines 9 to 16 and then to scan lines 1 to 8 in sequence. Following the second screen time T3, the 9th to 16th scan lines are sequentially enabled, and the 9th to 16th scan lines are sequentially enabled, and so on. As a result, the scan frequency of the 9th to 16th scan lines will be changed from 6〇Hz to 80Hz, and the scan frequency of the 1st to 8th scan lines will be changed from 6〇Hz to 40Hz. Thereby, the portion of the active display area 21 corresponding to the motion picture 7 201030721 1 w^oium will be updated with the picture update rate of 80 Hz, and the part of the active display area 210 corresponding to the still picture will be 4 Hz. The update rate is updated, so that the overall frequency is maintained at 60 Hz, and the smear caused by the motion image is effectively improved. Please refer to Fig. 5' for a broom timing diagram when Μ is equal to 3. Taking 48 scanning lines as an example, when the first to 32th scanning lines correspond to still images, and the 33rd to 48th scanning lines correspond to moving images, the scanning driver 340 is based on the rearranged scanning order. Scan, for the following screen time control: First, in the first screen time T1, 'first enable the first to eighth scan lines, then sequentially enable the 33rd to 48th scan lines, then The 9th to 16th scanning lines are sequentially enabled, and finally the 33rd to 48th scanning lines are sequentially activated. Following the second screen time T2, the first to 24 scan lines are sequentially enabled, and the 33th to 48th scan lines are sequentially enabled, and then the 25th to 32th scans are sequentially enabled. Line, and finally repeat 33 to 48 scan lines in sequence, and so on. b As a result, the scan frequency of the 33 to 48 scan lines will be changed from 6 Hz to 120 Hz' and the scan frequencies of the 1st to 8th and 9th to 9th scan lines will be changed from 60Hz to 30Hz. Thereby, the portion of the active display area 2 corresponding to the motion image will be updated with a screen update rate of 120 Hz, and the portion of the active display area 210 corresponding to the still image will be updated with a screen update rate of 3 Hz. Further, the overall frequency is maintained at 1 Hz, and the drag caused by the motion picture is effectively improved. ... Please refer to Figure 6, which shows that when Μ is equal to 4, the type of sweeping cat 201030721 Λ. TV J. %. Taking 16 scanning lines as an example, when the first to second scanning lines correspond to the still image, and the 13th to 16th scanning lines correspond to the moving image, the scanning cat driver 340 is based on the rearranged scanning. In the order of Scan, the following control is performed for each face time: First, in the first face time T1, the first order is enabled! Up to 4 scan lines, then enable the 13th to 16th scan lines in sequence, then enable the 5th to 8th scan lines in sequence, and then repeat the 13th to 16th scan lines in sequence. . Then, in the second kneading time T2, the 9th to 16th scanning lines are sequentially enabled, and then the fourth to fourth scanning lines are sequentially enabled, and then the sequence is sequentially activated to the 13th to 16 scanning lines. Following the third screen time Τ3, the 5th to 8th scan lines are sequentially enabled, and the 13th to 16th scan lines are sequentially enabled, and then the 9th to 12th scans are sequentially enabled. At the end of the line, the 13th to 16th scan lines are sequentially enabled. As a result, the scan frequency of the 13th to ι6 scan lines will change from 6〇Ηζ to 120Hz' and the sweep frequency of the 1st to 12th broom lines will change from _ζ to 40Hz. Thereby, the center of the active display area 21 corresponding to the motion picture will be updated with a 4-plane update rate of 12 GHz, and the part of the active display area 210 corresponding to the still image will be updated with a picture update rate of 30 Hz. The overall frequency is _ phenomenon caused by _ effective / good secrets. Referring to Figure 7, there is shown a flow chart of a method for driving a liquid crystal display according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The driving method is applied to the above-described xenon display 10' and the driving method comprises the following steps: first, as in step = not to move 1_彳, the dynamic image area MR in the current frame "F(n) of the video input signal is generated. Then, as shown in step (4), 9 201030721 · 1 w Joium unit 420 rearranges the scanning order and the month 'j frame F(n) ' according to the moving image area MR and outputs the rearranged scanning order Scan, and currently The frame F(n)' is driven to the driving circuit 30. Finally, as shown in step 73, the driving circuit 30 drives the liquid crystal display panel 2'' according to the rearranged scanning order Scan, and the current frame F(n)' enables the active display. The portion of the area 21A corresponding to the motion picture is updated with a first Ref resh rate', and the portion of the active display area 210 corresponding to the still image is different from the second picture with a second picture update rate. The screen update rate control circuit, the liquid crystal display, and the driving method thereof are appropriately rearranged according to the motion image area.
