Abstract

A pixel driving method is provided. The driving method includes selecting subpixels from different frame periods with different selecting modes in order to form a pixel array, and driving the pixel array. Different pixel arrays that are formed with subpixels selected from different frame periods are shifted by a distance of one subpixel along the row direction, the column direction, or both directions from each other. Thus, the image resolution of a display panel is improved.

Claims (12)

1 . A pixel driving method, for driving a display panel, the display panel having a plurality of subpixels arranged in an array, the pixel driving method comprising:

selecting the subpixels respectively from a plurality of frame periods to form a plurality of pixels, wherein a method of selecting the subpixels comprises at least two selection modes from a group consisting:

a first selection mode, for selecting a subpixel S 2K−1,2L−1 , a subpixel S 2K,2L−1 , a subpixel S 2K−1,2L and a subpixel S 2K,2L for forming a pixel P K,L , wherein the subpixel S 2K,2L is a subpixel located at a 2K th column and a 2L th row, and the pixel P K,L is a pixel composed of the subpixels that is located at K th column and L th row, where K and L are integers;

a second selection mode, for selecting the subpixel S 2K−1,2L , the subpixel S 2K,2L , the subpixel S 2K−1,2L+1 , and the subpixel S 2K,2L+1 for forming the pixel P K,L ;

a third selection mode, for selecting the subpixel S 2K,2L−1 , the subpixel S 2K+1,2L−1 , the subpixel S 2K,2L , and the subpixel S 2K,2L+1 for forming the pixel P K,L ;

a fourth selection mode, for selecting the subpixel S 2K,2L , the subpixel S 2K+1,2L , the subpixel S 2K,2L+1 , and the subpixel S 2K+1,2L+1 for forming the pixel P K,L ; and

driving the pixels in the frame periods respectively.

2 . The pixel driving method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the method of selecting the subpixels comprises performing the first selection mode and the second selection mode.

3 . The pixel driving method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the method of selecting the subpixels comprises performing the first selection mode and the fourth selection mode.

4 . The pixel driving method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the method of selecting the subpixels comprises performing the first selection mode, the second selection mode, and the third selection mode.

5 . The pixel driving method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the method of selecting the subpixels comprises performing the first selection mode, the second selection mode, and the fourth second selection mode.

6 . The pixel driving method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the method of selecting the subpixels comprises performing the first selection mode, the second selection mode, the third selection mode, and the fourth selection mode.
