Abstract

A control method applied to a display panel including a gate driver, a source driver, and a plurality of pixel units. Each pixel unit includes a storage capacitor. At a first time point, a scan signal is provided by the gate driver. At a second time point following the first time point, at least one data signal is provided by the source driver. The storage capacitor stores a corresponding voltage according to the data signal and a common voltage. At the second time point, the common voltage is stable.

Claims (22)

1 . A control method for a display panel comprising a gate driver, a source driver, and a plurality of pixel units, wherein each pixel unit comprises a storage capacitor, comprising:

providing a scan signal by the gate driver at a first time point; and

providing at least one data signal at a second time point;

wherein the storage capacitor stores a voltage according to a difference between the data signal and a common signal, and the common signal is stable at the second time point.

2 . The control method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the difference between the first and the second time points exceeds 10 us.

3 . The control method as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising:

stopping providing the data signal at a third time point; and

stopping providing the scan signal at a fourth time point.

4 . The control method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the difference between the third and the fourth time points exceeds 10 us.

5 . An electronic system, comprising:

a gate driver providing a scan signal at a first time point;

a source driver providing a data signal at a second time point, wherein the first time point is different from the second time point; and

a plurality of pixel units, each storing a voltage according to the difference between the data signal and a common signal, wherein the common signal is stable at the second time point.

6 . The electronic system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the difference between the first and the second time points exceeds 10 us.

7 . The electronic system as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the source driver stops providing the data signal at a third time point and the gate driver stops providing the scan signal at a fourth time point.

8 . The electronic system as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the difference between the third and the fourth time points exceeds 10 us.

9 . The electronic system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the electronic system is a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile phone, a digital camera (DSC), a television, a global positioning system (GPS), a car display, a avionics display, digital photo frame, a notebook computer (NB), or a personal computer (PC).

10 . The electronic system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the gate driver, the source driver, and the pixel units are integrated into a display panel.

11 . The electronic system as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising a power converter for transforming an external signal into a power signal provided to the display panel.

12 . The electronic system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the external signal is an alternating current (AC) signal.

13 . The electronic system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the external signal is a direct current (DC) signal.

14 . The electronic system as claimed in claim 13 , further comprising a battery providing the DC signal.
