The control terminal of the regional gate line GB electrically connected area switches TB1-TB4 is used to provide the area gate signal to the area switches TB1-TB4 to simultaneously turn on or off the area switches TB1-TB4.

換言之,在一實施例中,區域閘極訊號可用以同時導通多列顯示單元的區域開關,第一選擇閘極訊號及第二選擇閘極訊號可用以導通一列顯示單元的選擇開關。 In other words, in an embodiment, the regional gate signal can be used to simultaneously turn on the area switches of the plurality of columns of display units, and the first selection gate signal and the second selection gate signal can be used to turn on the selection switches of the column of display units.

在一實施例中,區域閘極訊號的週期大於第一選擇閘極訊號及第二選擇閘極訊號的週期。例如,區域閘極訊號的週期可為5毫秒,且第一選擇閘極訊號及第二選擇閘極訊號的週期可為1.25毫秒或80微秒。 In one embodiment, the period of the regional gate signal is greater than the period of the first selected gate signal and the second selected gate signal. For example, the period of the regional gate signal may be 5 milliseconds, and the period of the first selection gate signal and the second selection gate signal may be 1.25 milliseconds or 80 microseconds.

在一實施例中,在第一期間中,當區域閘極訊號同時導通區域開關TB1-TB4,第一選擇閘極訊號同時導通選擇開關TS1、TS3,且第二選擇閘極訊號同時關斷選擇開關TS2、TS4時,第一資料線DL1通過導通的選擇開關TS1及區域開關TB1提供第一資料電壓至顯示單元DS1,以令顯示單元DS1中的畫素電極據以充電或放電,且第二資料線DL2通過導通的選擇開關TS3及區域開關TB3提供第三資料電壓至顯示單元DS3,以令顯示單元DS3中的畫素電極據以充電或放電。 In an embodiment, in the first period, when the regional gate signal simultaneously turns on the area switches TB1-TB4, the first selection gate signal turns on the selection switches TS1 and TS3 simultaneously, and the second selection gate signal simultaneously turns off the selection. When the switches TS2 and TS4 are switched, the first data line DL1 supplies the first data voltage to the display unit DS1 through the turned-on selection switch TS1 and the area switch TB1, so that the pixel electrodes in the display unit DS1 are charged or discharged, and the second The data line DL2 supplies the third data voltage to the display unit DS3 through the turned-on selection switch TS3 and the area switch TB3 to cause the pixel electrodes in the display unit DS3 to be charged or discharged.

在第一期間後的第二期間中,當區域閘極訊號同時導通區域開關TB1-TB4,第一選擇閘極訊號同時關斷 選擇開關TS1、TS3,且第二選擇閘極訊號同時導通選擇開關TS2、TS4時,第一資料線DL1通過導通的選擇開關TS2及區域開關TB2提供第二資料電壓至顯示單元DS2,以令顯示單元DS2中的畫素電極據以充電或放電,且第二資料線DL2通過導通的選擇開關TS4及區域開關TB4提供第四資料電壓至顯示單元DS4,以令顯示單元DS4中的畫素電極據以充電或放電。 During the second period after the first period, when the area gate signal simultaneously turns on the area switches TB1-TB4, the first selection gate signal is simultaneously turned off. When the switches TS1 and TS3 are selected, and the second selection gate signal simultaneously turns on the selection switches TS2 and TS4, the first data line DL1 provides the second data voltage to the display unit DS2 through the conduction selection switch TS2 and the area switch TB2 to display The pixel electrode in the unit DS2 is charged or discharged, and the second data line DL2 supplies the fourth data voltage to the display unit DS4 through the conductive selection switch TS4 and the area switch TB4, so that the pixel electrode in the display unit DS4 is To charge or discharge.
