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...
