  • Patent number: 8963823
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display panel comprises N gate lines, wherein N is an even number bigger two, and a first gate driver circuit which includes ((N/2)+1)th first shift registers connected in series, for outputting N gate signals to the N gate lines. The present disclosure only requires ((N/2)+1)th shift registers for outputting N gate signals to the N gate lines. Therefore, the gate driver circuit is substantially simplified, the RC distortion of inputted frequency signals (clock signals) is reduced, a board area occupied by the gate driver circuit is reduced, and the dependability of the gate driver circuit is enhanced.

  • Patent number: 8749724
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an LCD panel. The LCD panel includes a plurality of data lines, a plurality of scan lines insulatingly intersecting the data lines, and a plurality of pixel units defined by the scan lines and corresponding data lines. Any two adjacent pixel units in a same row are respectively coupled to two corresponding scan lines. Any two adjacent pixel units in a same column are respectively coupled to two corresponding data lines. In this present invention, the pixel units coupled to a same data line are respectively coupled to different scan lines so as to reduce the power consumption of the LCD panel.

  • Publication number: 20130162938
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a liquid crystal display device, a low temperature poly-silicon display device, and a manufacturing method thereof. The manufacturing method includes: forming a metal shield layer on a substrate; forming a poly-silicon layer above the metal shield layer and insulated from the metal shield layer; and forming a common electrode and a pixel electrode layer above the poly-silicon layer to be insulated from each other to have the pixel electrode layer electrically connected to the poly-silicon layer and the common electrode electrically connected to the metal shield layer. Through the above described method, the present invention reduces the resistance of the common electrode, reduces the delay effect caused by excessively large electrical resistance of the common electrode, reduces the number of masking operation by one, reduces the period of time by which a manufacturing process is completed, lowers down the cost, and increases the throughput.

  • Publication number: 20130093747
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an LCD panel. The LCD panel comprises data lines, scan lines, and pixel units. Two arbitrarily adjacent data lines are respectively coupled to two data driver terminals outputting driving signals with opposite polarities. Three adjacent data lines intersect five adjacent scan lines to define eight pixel units of 4 rows*2 columns. In the pixel units in the (2n+1)th column, the pixel units in the (4m+1)th and (4m+4)th rows are coupled to the (2n+1)th data line, and the pixel units in the (4m+2)th and (4m+3)th rows are coupled to the (2n+2)th data line. In the pixel units in the (2n+2)th column, the pixel units in the (4m+1)th and (4m+4)th rows are coupled to the (2n+2)th data line, and the pixel units in the (4m+2)th and (4m+3)th rows are coupled to the (2n+3)th data line, wherein m, n are non-negative integers.

  • Publication number: 20130027286
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an LCD panel which includes a plurality of data lines and a plurality of scan lines, the data lines insulatingly intersecting the gate lines, thereby defining a pixel unit between an intersection between two of the plurality of gate lines and corresponding two of the plurality of data lines. Three adjacent scan lines intersect three adjacent data lines to define four pixel units which are designated as a pixel unit set. Two pixel units in one row of the pixel unit set are respectively coupled to two data lines in both sides of the three adjacent data lines, and two pixel units in the other row are coupled to the middle one of the three adjacent data lines. Power consumption of the LCD panel of the present invention is greatly reduced as compared with the conventional LCD panel.
