  • Patent number: 12190839
    Abstract: An electronic device includes gate lines, maintained at a low level voltage during a blank period and sequentially scanned during an active period in a frame period, and data lines. Voltage polarities of the data lines for all the blank period are respectively identical with voltage polarities of the data lines during the active period. A first level voltage applied to one of the data lines during all the blank period is related to an average value or a maximum value of level voltages of a portion or all of the data lines during the active period. A time length of the blank period in the frame period with the average value or the maximum value applied to one of the data lines during all the blank period is longer than a first time length of a first blank period in a first frame period adjacent to the frame period.
