Patent ID: 7576722

Claim:
A gray-scale method for a flat panel display, comprising: providing a plurality of scan-line initial signals during a frame period; transmitting the scan-line initial signals sequentially; and scanning a plurality of scan lines according to the scan-line initial signals, wherein the frame period includes X horizontal periods, and each of the horizontal periods includes Y initial periods, wherein X and Y each is a positive integer; making any one of the scan-line initial signal Kij to appear during the jth initial period of the i th horizontal period, in which the i and j are one to one, and the i and j each is a positive integer, and 1≦I≦X, 1≦j≦Y; and wherein providing the scan-line initial signals during the frame period comprises of providing 2 N scan-line initial signals when a N-bit gray-scale resolution is required wherein a time length of a time space between the start of one of two adjacent scan-line initial signals and the start of the other one of said two adjacent scan-line initial signals is (Tf/2 N )+(Ts/2 N ), wherein Tf is the time of a frame, and Ts is the time length of the horizontal period.
