Abstract

Flat display panel including a plurality of data lines arranged in one direction, a plurality of scan lines arranged perpendicular to the data lines, and luminous pixels at cross points of the data lines and the scan lines, wherein at least one scan line forms one group of scan lines, to form a plurality of groups of scan lines in total, luminous pixels on odd numbered groups of scan lines are connected to the first data line electrically, and luminous pixels on even numbered groups of scan lines are connected to the second data line electrically.

Claims

1. A flat display panel comprising:

a plurality of data lines arranged in one direction;

a plurality of scan lines arranged perpendicular to the data lines; and

luminous pixels at cross points of the data lines and the scan lines,

wherein at least one scan line forms one group of scan lines, to form a plurality of groups of scan lines in total, luminous pixels on odd numbered groups of scan lines are connected to the first data line electrically, and luminous pixels on even numbered groups of scan lines are connected to the second data line electrically.

2. The flat display panel as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first data line is an odd numbered data line, and the second data line is an even numbered data line of the plurality of data lines.

3. The flat display panel as claimed in claim 1, wherein the odd numbered group of scan lines includes a first scan line and a second scan line, and the even numbered group of scan lines includes a third scan line and a fourth scan line.

4. The flat display panel as claimed in claim 1, wherein the scan lines in the odd numbered group of scan lines and scan lines in the even numbered group of scan lines adjacent thereto are driven in the same order at the same time.

5. A flat display panel comprising:

a plurality of data lines arranged in one direction;

a plurality of scan lines arranged perpendicular to the data lines; and

luminous pixels at cross points of the data lines and the scan lines,

wherein two scan line form one pair of scan lines, to form a plurality of pairs of scan lines in total, luminous pixels on odd numbered pairs of scan lines are connected to the first data line electrically, and luminous pixels on even numbered pairs of scan lines are connected to the second data line electrically.

6. The flat display panel as claimed in claim 5, wherein the pair of scan lines are two adjacent scan lines.

7. The flat display panel as claimed in claim 5, wherein the odd numbered pair of scan lines includes a first scan line and a second scan line, and the even numbered pair of scan lines includes a third scan line and a fourth scan line.

8. The flat display panel as claimed in claim 7, wherein the first, and second scan lines in the odd numbered pair of scan lines and the third and fourth scan lines in the even numbered pair of scan lines adjacent thereto are driven in the same order at the same time.

9. The flat display panel as claimed in claim 5, wherein the first data line is an odd numbered data line, and the second data line is an even numbered data line of the plurality of data lines.

10. The flat display panel as claimed in claim 5, wherein the first scan line of the first pair of scan lines and the first scan line of the second pair of scan lines are driven in response to the first scan signal, the second scan line of the first pair of scan lines and the second scan line of the second pair of scan lines are driven in response to the second scan signal, and other pairs of scan lines are driven according to above driving manner in a sequence.

11. The flat display panel as claimed in claim 5, wherein, in a first frame, the first scan line in the first pair of scan lines and the first scan line in the second pair of scan lines are driven at the same time when the first scan signal is provided, and the first scan line in the third pair of scan lines and the first scan line in the fourth pair of scan lines are driven at the same time when the second scan signal is provided, in a second frame, the second scan line in the first pair of scan lines and the second scan line in the second pair of scan lines are driven at the same time when the first scan signal is provided, and the second scan line in the third pair of scan lines and the second scan line in the fourth pair of scan lines are driven at the same time when the second scan signal is provided, and other pairs of scan lines are driven according to above driving manner in a sequence.

12. The flat display panel as claimed in claim 11, wherein the first frame, or the second frame has a time period shorter than one frame time period required for driving entire luminous pixels in the display panel.

13. The flat display panel as claimed in claim 5, wherein the scan signal to the scan line is provided in an interlacing manner.
