In the case of a liquid crystal display, the gamma curve can be used to find the voltage of the corresponding gray scale (ie, the gamma voltage). By using these gamma pen pressures to control the liquid crystal panel to display the correct gray scale, the liquid crystal display can be correct. Display images. In order to improve the display of the liquid crystal display, some liquid crystal panels cut the pixels into two sub-pixels. The two sub-pixels may have different levels of common voltage due to the structure of the circuit. In this case, when the LCD panel is controlled by the same gamma voltage of 201128600 HM-^uu9-0029-TW 3161 ltwf.doc/n, the effect of the two sub-pixels may not be displayed, thus affecting The quality of the display. Therefore, when the same effect is displayed in different sub-pixels, the level of the output gamma voltage is different. In other words, when some pixels display the same effect, the gamma voltage after the displacement must be received. Figure 1 is a circuit diagram of a conventional source driver. Referring to FIG. 2b, in the source driver 1GG, the channel buffer 11() is used to output a reference voltage Δν to the reference electric dust GMAH, wherein the channel buffer U0 is amplified by the nose and a plurality of resistors & In the domain, the circuit is similar to the subtractor. Similarly, the channel buffer 120 outputs a displacement of the reference voltage GMAL - a bit material pressure Δν, wherein the channel buffer 12G is composed of a plurality of resistors and a plurality of resistors, the circuit of which is similar to the analog subtractor. And; AR1 to AR64, after receiving the shifted reference voltages gmah and (10), are divided to output the shifted gamma voltage ~. The digital analog converter 130 rides one of the output gamma voltages Av 〇 Α γ 63 as a driving voltage. The conventional secret driver needs to simultaneously shift the reference voltages gmah and GHA^, that is, the channel buffers 11A and i2 do not have to be used simultaneously to synchronously shift the voltage levels of the gamma voltages AV〇 to AV63. Therefore, since the channel buffers H 11() and 12 (four) operational amplifiers have an offset β, the voltage difference between the output voltage of the channel buffer and the reference voltage may not be equal to the displacement voltage Δν, and the channel buffer 12〇 White: The voltage difference between the output voltage and the reference voltage and GMAL may not be; the displacement voltage Δν. By this, the voltage level of gamma electric AV0~AV63 may be 201128600 HM-20〇y-y〇29-TW 31611 twf.doc/π
