Abstract

A circuit for generating a gate pulse modulation signal includes a gate pulse modulation unit for generating two gate ON voltage modulation signals by using two clock signals each having a different phase, a level shift unit for generating level-shifted and modulated clock signals of odd-numbered and even-numbered lines by using the gate ON voltage modulation signal, and a GIP for receiving the clock signals of the odd-numbered and even-numbered lines and outputting the clock signals to each corresponding gate line.

Claims (8)

1. A circuit for generating a gate pulse modulation signal, comprising:

a gate pulse modulation unit for generating two gate ON voltage modulation signals by using two clock signals each having a different phase;

a level shift unit for generating level-shifted and modulated clock signals of odd-numbered and even-numbered lines by using the gate ON voltage modulation signal; and

a GIP for receiving the clock signals of the odd-numbered and even-numbered lines and outputting the clock signals to each corresponding gate line.

2. The circuit of claim 1 , wherein the gate pulse modulation unit includes first and second gate pulse modulators for receiving the first and second clock signals each having a different phase and generating first and second gate ON voltage modulation signals, respectively.

3. The circuit of claim 1 , wherein the level shift unit includes first and second level shifters for receiving the first and second gate ON voltage modulation signals from the gate pulse modulation unit and first to fourth clock signals from a timing controller, and generating clock signals of odd-numbered and even-numbered lines in a modulated form after being level shifted.

4. The circuit of claim 3 , wherein the first to fourth clock signals are shifted to a gate low voltage level to a gate high voltage.

5. The circuit of claim 3 , wherein the clock signals of the odd-numbered and even-numbered lines have a period of 2 H.
