  • Publication number: 20120182489
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a pixel with pre-charge function. Being added into every pixel of a TFT-LCD, a pre-charging transistor can charge the capacitor of a pixel to a pre-designed voltage in advance before the pixel updates its gray level. Owing to the reduced charging voltage, the charging and discharging time is reduced thereof when the pixel updates its grey level. Furthermore, the problems of low contrast ratio and flicker, due to insufficient charging or discharging time, are solved.
