  • Publication number: 20090189880
    Abstract: A source driving circuit is provided. The source driving circuit includes a plurality of source drivers, first switches, and second switches. Each transmission line of each source driver is coupled to the first switch and the second switch. In a first period, the first switches are turned on, and the source drivers generate a first driving signal to drive pixels in odd columns of a display panel through the transmission lines and the first switches. In a second period, the second switches are turned on, and the source drivers generate a second driving signal to drive pixels in even columns of the display panel through the transmission lines and the second switches. Therefore, the problem of the prior art that each transmission line of the source driver drives pixels in only one column of the display panel is improved and the hardware cost is greatly decreased.
