Data and gate line sharing methods for low-cost and high-pixel density TFT-LCDs
New pixel circuit and driving schemes to reduce the number of both data lines and gate lines to half of the traditional TFT-LCDs are proposed. This idea contributes to cost-down of TFT-LCDs by halving the number of the required data driver ICs and gate driver ICs and supports higher-resolution TFT-LCDs by doubling the pitch of data lines.
