Abstract

A liquid crystal display (LCD) and an LCD panel thereof are provided. The structure of the pixel array of the present LCD panel is the half source driving (HSD) structure, and by which skillfully layout the coupled relationship between each pixel and each data line, and thereupon the present LCD panel adopting the driving manner of the column inversion can be achieved the display effect of the dot inversion. Therefore, the present invention can substantially reduce the power consumption of the source driver.

Claims (43)

1. A liquid crystal display (LCD) panel, comprising:

a plurality of data lines; and

a plurality of pixels, arranged in matrix;

wherein the (4i+1) th scan line is only coupled to the (4j+1) th and (4j+2) th pixels of the (2i+1) th pixel row, where i is a positive integer which is larger than or equal to 0, and j is a positive integer which is larger than or equal to 0;

the (4i+2) th scan line is only coupled to the (4j+3) th and (4j+4) th pixels of the (2i+1) th pixel row;

the (4i+3) th scan line is only coupled to the (4j+2) th and (4j+3) th pixels of the (2i+2) th pixel row;

the (4i+4) th scan line is only coupled to the (4j+4) th and (4i+5) th pixels of the (2i+2) th pixel row;

the (2r+1) th data line is only coupled to the s th pixel of the (4r+1) th pixel column and the (4r+3) th pixel column, and the k th pixel of the (4r+2) th pixel column and the (4r+4) th pixel column, where r is a positive integer which is larger than or equal to 0, s is a positive odd integer, and k is a positive even integer; and

the (2r+2) th data line is only coupled to the s th pixel of the (4r+2) th pixel column and the (4r+4) th pixel column, and the k th pixel of the (4r+3) th pixel column and the (4r+5) th pixel column.

2. The LCD panel according to claim 1 , wherein the number of the scan lines is even.

3. The LCD panel according to claim 2 , wherein all odd scan lines in the scan lines are used for sequentially receiving a first scan signal.

4. The LCD panel according to claim 3 , wherein all even scan lines in the scan lines are used for sequentially receiving a second scan signal.

5. The LCD panel according to claim 1 , wherein the number of the data lines is odd.

6. The LCD panel according to claim 5 , wherein the (4r+1) th pixel column in the pixels is not within a display area of the LCD panel.

7. A liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising:

an LCD panel, comprising:

a plurality of scan lines;

a plurality of data lines; and

a plurality of pixels, arranged in matrix;

wherein the (4i+1) th scan line is coupled to the (4j+1) th and (4j+2) th pixels of the (2i+1) th pixel row, where i is a positive integer which is larger than or equal to 0, and j is a positive integer which is larger than or equal to 0;

the (4i+2) th scan line is only coupled to the (4j+3) th and (4j+4) th pixels of the (2i+1) th pixel row;

the (4i+3) th scan line is only coupled to the (4j+2) th and (4j+3) th pixels of the (2i+2) th pixel row;

the (4i+4) th scan line is only coupled to the (4j+4) th and (4j+5) th pixels of the (2i+2) th pixel row;

the (2r+1) th data line is only coupled to the s th pixel of the (4r+1) th pixel column and the (4r+3) th pixel column, and the k th pixel of the (4r+2) th pixel column and the (4r+4) th pixel column, where r is a positive integer which is larger than or equal to 0, s is a positive odd integer, and k is a positive even integer; and

the (2r+2) th data line is only coupled to the s th pixel of the (4r+2) th pixel column and the (4r+4) th pixel column, and the k th pixel of the (4r+3) th pixel column and the (4r+5) th pixel column.

8. The LCD according to claim 7 , wherein the number of the scan lines is even.

9. The LCD according to claim 8 , wherein all odd scan lines in the scan lines are used for sequentially receiving a first scan signal.

10. The LCD according to claim 9 , further comprising:

a first gate driver, disposed at a side of the LCD panel and coupled to the LCD panel, for sequentially providing the first scan signal.

11. The LCD according to claim 10 , wherein all even scan lines in the scan lines are used for sequentially receiving a second scan signal.

12. The LCD according to claim 11 , further comprising:

a second gate driver, disposed at an another side of the LCD panel and coupled to the LCD panel, for sequentially providing the second scan signal.

13. The LCD according to claim 12 , wherein each pixel column within the LCD panel correspondingly receives a display data via the data lines respectively.

14. The LCD according to claim 13 , wherein a driving polarity of the display data received by each pixel column within the LCD panel is switched once at a frame period of the LCD.

15. The LCD according to claim 13 , further comprising:

a source driver, coupled to the LCD panel, for correspondingly providing the display data to the data lines.

16. The LCD according to claim 15 , further comprising:

a timing controller, coupled to the first and the second gate drivers and the source driver, for controlling the operation of the first and the second gate drivers and the source driver.

17. The LCD according to claim 7 , further comprising:

a backlight module, for providing a surface light source to the LCD panel.

18. The LCD according to claim 7 , wherein the number of the data lines is odd.

19. The LCD according to claim 18 , wherein the (4r+1) th pixel column in the pixels is not within a display area of the LCD panel.
