Patent ID: 7277077

Claim:
A gate driving apparatus for driving a pixel array on a panel, the apparatus comprising: a driver chip having a first transistor with a gate coupled to receive a Nth gate driving signal, a source coupled to receive a first voltage and a drain connected to an input node of a Nth scan line of the pixel array; and a driving circuit built on the panel and comprising a load connected between the input node and a second voltage, wherein when the first transistor in the driver chip is turned off, the Nth scan line is provided with the second voltage via the load, else the Nth scan line is provided with the first voltage via the first transistor; wherein the load comprises a resistor connected between the second voltage and the input node of the Nth scan line, wherein the load further comprises; a second transistor having a gate and source commonly coupled to the input node of the Nth scan line, and a drain coupled to receive the second voltage.
