Display panel, display device, and drive method therefor

Abstract

Provided is a display panel the cost and current consumption of which are reduced by reducing the number of data signal lines compared to conventional ones, a display device provided therewith, and a drive method therefor. Each pixel forming part (10) included in a display unit (200) of a display device is configured by arranging three sub-pixel forming parts (1r, 1g, 1b) for forming sub-pixels respectively having different color components in a data signal line extension direction. Each data signal line (30) is disposed between an odd-numbered sub-pixel forming part vertical column (3) from the front in a scan signal line extension direction and a sub-pixel forming part vertical column (3) adjacent to and behind the odd-numbered sub-pixel forming part vertical column (3) in the scan signal line extension direction. To each data signal line (30), the sub-pixel forming part vertical columns (3, 3) located on both sides thereof are connected. Each scan signal line (40) is disposed on both sides of the sub-pixel forming part in the data signal line extension direction. The sub-pixel forming part vertical columns (3, 3) adjacent to each other are connected to the scan signal lines (40) different from each other.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an active matrix display panel, a display device equipped with it, and a driving method thereof. Background technique [0002] Generally, a display portion of a display panel of an active matrix display device includes pixel forming portions arranged in a matrix. The pixel forming portion has a plurality of sub-pixel forming portions. For example, in an active matrix display device that displays a color image based on the three primary colors of R (red), G (green), and B (blue), conventionally, three sub-pixels for R, G, and B are formed. Three sub-pixel forming portions are arranged in a direction in which the scanning signal lines extend to constitute one pixel forming portion. Figure 18 It is a schematic diagram showing the electrical configuration of main parts of such a conventional active matrix display device. This display device includes a display unit 200 , a data signal line drive circuit 130 , and a scan s...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the cost of the data signal line driving circuit is higher than that of the scanning signal line driving circuit

When the number of data signal lines increases, the number of circuits will further increase, so the cost of the data signal line drive circuit will further increase, and the current consumption will increase.

That is, when the number of data signal lines increases, the cost and current consumption of the display device as a whole increase.

The number of data signal lines increases in proportion to the number of pixel forming parts, so the above-mentioned problems have become serious in recent years as display devices have been enlarged.
