  • Patent number: 8872865
    Abstract: A pixel driving circuit includes a first pixel, a second pixel, and a data driving circuit. Each pixel includes a main region and a sub region. The main region stores a gray level voltage and the sub region stores a gray level voltage corresponding to the gray level voltage stored in the main region when the main region and the sub region display image. In the data driving circuit, first, second, third, and fourth gray level voltages are generated by means of a first selecting circuit outputting first digital data corresponding to the first pixel and second digital data corresponding to the second pixel to the corresponding digital-to-analog converters. The first, second, third, and fourth gray level voltages are distributed to the main and sub regions of the first and second pixels by a second selecting circuit, thereby reducing the number of digital-to-analog converters.
