Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention pertains] and in particular related to the circuit. The present invention relates to an amplifier circuit for high slew rate in a TFT-LCD system. [Prior Art] A liquid crystal display (LCD) is currently used in flat panel displays. The liquid crystal display generally includes two substrates "Night 曰 = polarizer. Among them, 'on two substrates' is configured to generate two electrodes' and the liquid crystal layer is filled between two substrates. The other device is disposed on two substrates. The outer surface of the liquid crystal molecules can be rearranged by applying a voltage in the electric vibration to further control the truth of the liquid crystal display crying. Further, a plurality of switching element systems such as thin film transistors (TFTs) are disposed on the substrate. In order to switch the voltage applied to the electrodes, the crystal display further includes a driving unit such as a source driving circuit and a gate driving circuit, and a control circuit for controlling the driving unit to supply a voltage to the electrodes through the switching element. Usually, the controller is located outside the substrate, and the driving circuit is located in or outside the substrate. Figure 1 is a block diagram showing the structure of an output buffer for buffering the voltage supplied to the liquid crystal display. In Figure i, the output The buffer is here a N-track-to-rail amplifier 102 that has been used to process the parallel buffered N-bit data through the output buffer. The rail-to-rail amplifier 1〇2 shown in 1 has a good output slew rate, but there are still many problems, such as a large amount of current is attenuated, and a large volume is used for assembling the source. Driving element, i.e., large footprint. 1258723 14734pif.doc Figure 2 is a block diagram showing another conventional output buffer for buffering the voltage supplied to the liquid crystal display for attempting to improve the performance of the elements of Figure 1. In Fig. 2, an N-track-to-rail amplifier 102' as shown in Fig. 1 is employed instead of an output buffer composed of a plurality of amplifying circuits 202 and a controller 208. Each amplifying circuit 202 includes A one-bit operational amplifier using a p-type transistor (P-type operational amplifier) 204, and an N-type transistor (N-type operational amplifier) 206: a bit operational amplifier. It is well known that in order to better avoid the liquid crystal display The quality of the liquid crystal material is degraded, and the signal supplied from the output buffer should oscillate above and below the common voltage Vcx > m, such as Vcom = l/2VDD, and should not be fixed. Therefore, the P-type operational amplifier 20 4 is used to process the positive pole of the oscillating signal provided by the output buffer, and the N-type operational amplifier 206 is used to process the negative pole of the oscillating signal, and the outputs of the operational amplifier 204 and the operational amplifier 206 are coupled to each other. Control operational amplifier 204 and operational amplifier 206 are as follows, that is, when p-type operational amplifier 204 is in an on state, N-type operational amplifier 206 is off; conversely, when N-type operational amplifier 206 is on, p-type operational amplifier 204 is in a closed state. The controller 208 turns on/off the operational amplifiers 204 and 206 in accordance with the control signal CTL-Η and the control signal CTL_L. The control signal CTL-H and the control signal CTL-L generated by the controller 208 are based on the polarity signal p〇L generated by the timing controller (not shown in the figure) as the data passing through the output buffer. Polarity is indicated. 1258723 14734pif.doc Figures 3A-3F are timing diagrams of the wheel-out buffer of Figure 2, as depicted in the prior art. Wherein, the waveform in FIG. 3A represents an output enable signal generated by, for example, a timing controller; the waveform in FIG. 3B represents a polarity number POL; and the waveforms in FIGS. 3C and 3D respectively represent control 208 The CTL-H signal (see Figure 2) and the CTL_L signal (see the waveform in Figure 3E (VH part, see Figure 2) represent the output signal of the p-type operational amplifier 204; the waveform in Figure 3F (VL part, See 2;: shows the output signal of the N-type operational amplifier 206. As can be seen from Figures 3C and 3E, the VH partial waveform corresponds to the ctl-h signal; likewise, as can be seen from Figures 3D and 3F, the VL partial waveform corresponds to ctl_l Signal, but the correspondence is not very good: the VH part & shape (see Figure 3E) has a slower rise time, as shown by 3〇2; and the VL part of the wave ^ Figure 3F) has a slower fall time. As shown in 304. Usually the designer * hopes to lose the gorge! I make a slow increase in money / : fall time, because, for example, the degree of chaos of moving images on the liquid crystal display, and the length of delay of the rise/fall time are proportional. Therefore, it is straightforward for the circuit. [ SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a high-speed conversion power (for example, for a TFT-LCD system).

Figure 4 is a block diagram of a liquid crystal display system = 00 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 4, the liquid crystal display system * (8) includes a A film transistor liquid crystal display (hereinafter referred to as TFT) system 404 and an image controller 402 for providing display material to the TFT-LCD system 404. In the present embodiment, the image controller 〇2 includes a signal sensing component 406 which can transmit the display data to the signal receiving component 416 of the word 1 in the TFT_LCD system 4〇4. Here, signal transmitting component 406 and signal receiving component 416 can be transmitted using a variety of signal techniques, such as low voltage differential signaling (CLVDS). °~ As can be seen from Fig. 4, the FT_LCD system 1〇4 further includes a timing controller 408 (signal receiving element 416 is a part thereof), a gate driving element = 412, a source driving element 414*TFT_LCD panel 41〇 . The timing controller 408 includes a signal transmitting component 418. When the display data received by the signal connector 416 is processed, the timing controller 4〇8 sends the processed data to the source drive element 414 and the gate drive element 412 via the signal transmitting component 418. Signaling component 418 can employ the same signal techniques as signalling j and receiving components 406 and 418, such as low voltage differential chirped transmission (LVDS), or other types of techniques can also be used, as is well known in Example 10 1258723 14734pif.doc. The drift-reducing differential signal (10), which is well known to the skilled artisan, is called transmission technology. The S 5 series, (3), and (3) show a block diagram of one of the source driving elements 图 shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 5 in combination, each of the source driving elements 414 includes: an N-bit shift register (SR) 5〇2, a data flash locker 5〇4, a digital class, and a (DAC) 506* output. Buffer, 5〇8. The above components are connected by a cascade structure so that data flows from the timing controller 408 to the TFT-LCD panel 4! 〇 in the following order: 5〇2; 5〇4°: 506; and 508. Among them, the digital analog converter (DAC) 506 can be realized by a resistor, a capacitor or a combination of a resistor and a capacitor. Figure 6 is a block diagram of an output buffer 6 (eight) not in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Referring collectively to Figure 6, for a butadiene (3) system, the output buffer 6GG may correspond to the output buffer 5A8 of Figure 5. The output buffer 600 of FIG. 6 includes a plurality of amplifier circuits 〇2, a first controller 6G8, and a second controller 616. Each of the amplifier circuits 6〇2 further includes: a first operational amplifier _, a second operational amplifier 6〇6, a pull-up transistor 612 and a pull-down transistor 61〇. In this embodiment, the first operational amplifier 6 G 4 may be an operational amplifier composed of a p-type transistor (where N is a positive integer), and the second operational amplifier 606 may be an N-type transistor. The N-bits (where n is a positive 2) are transported to the amplifier. For example, each of the N-bit operational amplifiers is a one-bit amplifier with the voltage follower structure shown in Figs. 10A and 10B. In a preferred case, the pull-up transistor 612 can be of the same type as the first operational amplifier 604, such as a p-type I25872|, doc crystal, which is intended to be better than the first operational amplifier 604. Compatibility; likewise, the pull-down transistor 610 can also employ the same type of transistor 5 as the second operational amplifier 606, such as an N-type transistor, for the purpose of better compatibility with the second operational amplifier 606. The first controller 608 shown in FIG. 6 generates control signals CTL-H and CTL-L for the first operational amplifier 604 and the second operational amplifier 606, respectively. Wherein, the first operational amplifier 6〇4 is used to process the positive pole of the oscillating input signal (the received signal from the digital analog converter such as the DAC 506), and the second operational amplifier 606 is used to process the oscillating input signal (from the digital analog conversion The negative terminal of the receiving signal such as the DAC 506. Similarly, the first operational amplifier 604 and the second operational amplifier 606 are coupled to each other to provide an output of the buffer 600. The first controller 608 controls (or starts) the first operational amplifier 604 and the second operational amplifier 606 in the following manner: when the first operational amplifier 604 is in an on state, the second operational amplifier 6〇6 is turned off; Of course. Similarly, the first controller 608 turns off or turns on (starts) the first operational amplifier 6〇4 and the second operational amplifier 6〇6 in the following manner: controlling the first operational amplifier 6〇4 via the control number CTL-H, The second operational amplifier 606 is controlled via the control signal CTL-L. The first controller 608 generates control signals CTL-H and CTL-L based on the polarity signal p0L (used to indicate the polarity of the lean material through the output buffer 6, generated by the timing controller 408 of FIG. 4). . The first operational amplifier 604 and the second operational amplifier 6〇6 are connected to each other except for the output terminals, and the output terminal thereof is connected to the system source voltage such as VDD through the pull-up transistor 612 12 1258723 14734pif.doc. VSS is connected. The & pull-down private body (10) and the upper controller 616 are controlled by the control signal HPU (half-half-half pull-down) to control the pull-up transistor 012 and the pull-down transistor to give a concrete discussion. Since the upper and lower dimming circuit 61 (four) operation cycle is shorter than the period of the first operational amplifier 604 and the a second amplification J 606, it is remarkable in the case where the output buffer is not consumed by a large amount of current.
