  • Patent number: 8466905
    Abstract: A scan driving apparatus includes a first driving apparatus connected to a plurality of scan lines and a second driving apparatus connected to the plurality of scan lines. Wherein when one of the first driving apparatus and the second driving apparatus is in a scan enable state such that the plurality of scan lines are applied with a scan signal, the other is in a floating state such that the output terminal is floated.
