As shown in FIG. 1, the gamma voltage generating circuit 100 includes a transistor 11, a transistor 12, a plurality of transistors 13 connected in series, a plurality of resistors 14 connected in series, and a switching unit 15. The transistor 11 has a first end 11-1, a second end 11-2, and a control end 11-3. The first end 11-1 of the transistor 11 is electrically connected to the operating voltage AVDD. The transistor 12 has a first end 12-1, a second end 12-2, and a control end 12-3. The second end 12-2 of the transistor 12 is electrically connected to the reference voltage GND. In the embodiment, the reference voltage GND is grounded, for example, but is not limited thereto.

In the present embodiment, the voltage difference between the operating voltage AVDD and the reference voltage GND is divided by the series connected resistors 14 so that the respective series contacts S can output different gamma voltages. Each of the transistors 13 has a first end 13-1, a second end 13-2, and a control end 13-3.

圖2為本發明一實施例之伽瑪電壓產生電路的時序圖。如圖2所示,資料訊號DS表示顯示面板(圖未示)顯示一個畫面,也就是一幀(frame)時提供至顯示面板之資料線(圖未示)的訊號。上述的一個畫面,也就是資料訊號DS的一個週期,在這一個週期當中包括了空白期間B以及顯示期間A。特別一提的是,當顯示面板顯示一個畫面的空白期間B時,資料線所接收到的是低準位的資料訊號DS,此時串接點S實質上不輸出伽瑪電壓,而當顯示面板顯示一個畫面的顯示期間A時,資料線所接收到的是高準位的資料訊號DS,此時串接點S輸出伽瑪電壓以使顯示面板顯示特定的灰階畫面。 2 is a timing diagram of a gamma voltage generating circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the data signal DS indicates that the display panel (not shown) displays a picture, that is, a signal provided to the data line (not shown) of the display panel when a frame is used. The above one picture, that is, one cycle of the data signal DS, includes a blank period B and a display period A in this one cycle. In particular, when the display panel displays a blank period B of a picture, the data line receives a low-level data signal DS, and the serial connection point S does not substantially output the gamma voltage, but when displayed When the panel displays the display period A of one screen, the data line receives the high-level data signal DS. At this time, the serial connection point S outputs a gamma voltage to cause the display panel to display a specific grayscale image.

請共同參照圖1以及圖2,開關單元15用以接收控制訊號VBK,並且依據所接收之控制訊號VBK而於空白期間B截止電晶體11與電晶體12,以及依據所接收之控制訊號VBK而於空白期間B導通電晶體13。開關單元15還依據所接收之控制訊號VBK而於顯示期間A導通電晶體11與電晶體12,並且依據所接收之控制訊號VBK而於顯示期間A截止電晶體13。當電晶體13被導通時,預設灰階電壓HAOP會被傳遞至串接點S以藉由串接點S而輸出預設灰階電壓HAOP。詳細而言,伽瑪電壓產生電路100中的電晶體11以及電晶體12於顯示面板顯示一個畫面的空白期間B被開關單元15依據高準位之控制訊號VBK而截止,因此工作電壓AVDD以及參考電壓GND之間沒有導通的路徑,而此時開關系統15還依據高準位之控制訊號VBK而導通電晶體13,因此預設灰階電壓HAOP便會藉由電晶體13而被輸出至對應的串接點S。透過上述操作,可以使伽瑪電壓產生電路100中的每一個串接點S皆於顯示面板顯示一畫面的空白期間B輸出預設灰階電壓HAOP,讓全畫面在空白期間成為輕載畫面,可加速釋放液晶內殘留的電荷,藉此改善顯示面板的畫面殘留以及畫面閃爍問題。 Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 together, the switch unit 15 is configured to receive the control signal V BK and turn off the transistor 11 and the transistor 12 during the blank period B according to the received control signal V BK , and according to the received control signal V BK is used to conduct the crystal 13 during the blank period B. The switch unit 15 also conducts the transistor 11 and the transistor 12 during the display period A according to the received control signal V BK , and turns off the transistor 13 during the display period A according to the received control signal V BK . When the transistor 13 is turned on, the preset gray scale voltage HAOP is transmitted to the series junction S to output the preset gray scale voltage HAOP by the series connection point S. In detail, the transistor 11 and the transistor 12 in the gamma voltage generating circuit 100 are turned off by the switching unit 15 according to the high-level control signal V BK when the display panel displays a blank period B of a picture, and thus the operating voltage AVDD and There is no conduction path between the reference voltage GND, and the switching system 15 also conducts the crystal 13 according to the high level control signal V BK , so the preset gray scale voltage HAOP is output to the transistor 13 Corresponding tandem point S. Through the above operation, each of the series connection points S in the gamma voltage generating circuit 100 can output the preset gray level voltage HAOP in the blank period B of the display panel displaying a picture, so that the full picture becomes a light load picture during the blank period. The charge remaining in the liquid crystal can be accelerated, thereby improving the image sticking of the display panel and the problem of flickering of the screen.
