Abstract:
A driving apparatus of a display device including a plurality of switching elements and a plurality of pixel electrodes connected to the switching elements is provided, in which the apparatus includes a gate-off voltage generator for generating a gate-off voltage and a gate driver for outputting the gate-off voltage from the gate-off voltage generator to the switching elements, wherein the gate-off voltage generator increases the gate-off voltage to a predetermined voltage when a power supply voltage applied to the display device is cut off.
Abstract:
A display device that employs fewer IC chips and lends itself to cost-efficient manufacturing is presented. The device includes: a plurality of pixel rows including first and second pixels alternately arranged; a plurality of first and second gate lines disposed above and below the pixel rows and applying first and second gate-on voltages to the first and the second pixels, respectively; data lines intersecting the first and the second gate lines, each data line disposed between the first and the second pixels in a pair of first and second pixels and applying data voltages to the first and the second pixels; first and second gate drivers applying the first and the second gate-on voltages to the first and the second gate lines; and a data driver applying the data voltages to the data lines, wherein the second gate-on voltage is applied earlier than the first gate-on voltages by a predetermined time.
Abstract:
A transistor includes a control electrode, a first current electrode and a second current electrode. The control electrode includes a body portion, and first and second hand portions protruded from first and second ends of the body portion, respectively. The first current electrode is electrically insulated from the control electrode and disposed over a region between the first and second hand portions of the control electrode. A portion of the first current electrode is overlapped with a portion of the control electrode. The second current electrode is electrically insulated from the control electrode and partially overlapped with the body portion, the first hand portion and the second hand portion of the control electrode. Therefore, parasitic capacitance is reduced.
