Patent ID: 8542174

Claim:
A method for driving a display panel, comprising: transferring a first set of data stored in N first storage capacitors in a M−1 th period to N corresponding first pixels through N data lines, so as to drive the N corresponding first pixels, and storing a second set of data on a second signal line from a data driver to N second storage capacitors, during an M th period; transferring the second set of data stored in the N second storage capacitors to N corresponding second pixels through the N data lines, so as to drive the N corresponding second pixels, and storing a third set of data on a first signal line from the data driver to the N first storage capacitors, during an M+1 th period; and transferring a fourth set of data on the first signal line from the data driver to N first storage capacitors through the N data lines, such that the N corresponding first pixels are driven by the first and fourth sets of data, during the M th period; wherein the first signal line is different from the second signal line; wherein the second set of data on the second signal line is stored in the N second storage capacitors in sequence during the M th period, and wherein the third set of data on the first signal line is stored in the N first storage capacitors in sequence during the M+1 th period; and wherein M and N are integers larger than 2.
