  • Patent number: 8774348
    Abstract: A shift register circuit includes plural shift register stages for providing plural gate signals. Each shift register stage includes a pull-up unit, a pull-up control unit, an input unit, a first pull-down unit, a second pull-down unit, and a pull-down control unit. The pull-up control unit generates a first control signal according to a driving control voltage and a first clock. The pull-up unit pulls up a corresponding gate signal according to the first control signal. The input unit is utilized for inputting the gate signal of a preceding shift register stage to become the driving control voltage according to a second clock having a phase opposite to the first clock. The pull-down control unit generates a second control signal according to the driving control voltage. The first and second pull-down units pull down the corresponding gate signal and the first control signal respectively according to the second control signal.

  • Patent number: 8411007
    Abstract: A pixel in a liquid crystal display panel comprises a first sub-pixel area having a first sub-pixel electrode and a second sub-pixel area having a second sub-pixel electrode. Each sub-pixel electrode is associated with a capacitor. When a gate-line signal and a data voltage is provided to the pixel, the voltage level on the first sub-pixel electrode is substantially equal to or slightly higher than the voltage level on the second sub-pixel electrode and the capacitor associated with each sub-pixel electrode is charged. When the gate-line signal has entirely passed on partially passed, a circuit element causes the capacitor associated with the second sub-pixel electrode to transfer its charge to another capacitor, resulting in a reduction of the voltage level on the second sub-pixel electrode.
