Therefore, the 2-to-1 multiplexers 2T11 and 2T12N+2 receive the external signal NC instead of the first digital signal DS1 ̃the (2N)th digital signal DS2N, and the output multiplexer MUXN+1 is coupled to the next first data line L1′, so that the external signal NC received by the 2-to-1 multiplexer 2T12N+1 can be outputted to the next first data line L1′ through the output multiplexer MUXN+1. The external signal NC received by the 2-to-1 multiplexer 2T11 is outputted to the first data line L1 of the ZigZag panel Z through the output multiplexer MUX1.
