1. A method for controlling a display panel, the display panel comprises a plurality of sub pixels arranged in an array, N gate lines connected to each row of sub pixels respectively, data lines connected to each column of sub pixels and a plurality of multiplexers connected to N gate lines one by one, wherein m columns of neighboring sub pixels are grouped into a set of sub pixels, each of the plurality of multiplexers is connected to one set of sub pixels via the data lines, and different multiplexers are connected to different sets of sub pixels, wherein N and m are both integers greater than 0, wherein:

  • each row of sub pixels in each set of sub pixels is considered as a sub set of sub pixels, the sub sets of sub pixels in each row are classified to a first-type sub set of sub pixels and a plurality of second-type sub set of sub pixels, wherein in the nth row of sub pixels, the first-type sub set of sub pixels is a sub set of sub pixels connected to the multiplexer which is connected with the nth gate line, and the second-type sub sets of sub pixels are other sub sets of sub pixels other than the first-type sub set of sub pixels in the nth row of sub pixels, wherein n is an integer and 1<

    n≤

    N;

    the method comprising;

    receiving an original image data, wherein each frame of the original image data comprises image displaying data corresponding to the plurality of sub pixels;

    inserting a gate control data preceding the image displaying data corresponding to each sub set of sub pixels, for the image displaying data corresponding to the nth row of sub pixels in each frame of the original image data, so as to generate sets of control and display data which correspond to each of the sub sets of sub pixels respectively;

    wherein the gate control data inserted preceding the image displaying data corresponding to the first-type sub set of sub pixels is used for turning-on the gate line for the nth row of sub pixels, and the gate control data inserted preceding the image displaying data corresponding to the second-type sub sets of sub pixels is used for turning-off the gate line for the nth row of sub pixels; and

    outputting a signal corresponding to a set of data from a corresponding set of control and display data to each of the multiplexers corresponding to the sub sets of sub pixels simultaneously in a same period, according to the sets of control and display data corresponding to the sub sets of sub pixels in the nth row of sub pixels, upon displaying the nth row of sub pixels by a source driving circuit; and

    outputting the signal corresponding to the set of data from the corresponding set of control and display data to each of the multiplexers sequentially according to an arrangement of data from the sets of control and display data.
