Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of overdriving a liquid crystal display panel, and more particularly to a method of overdriving a liquid crystal display panel in a multi-step look-up manner. [Prior Art] In general, liquid crystal displays have the advantages of light weight, low power consumption, low radiation, and the like. Therefore, liquid crystal displays have been widely used in various portable information products on the market, such as notebook computers and personal digital devices. Products such as personal digital assistant (PDA). In addition, LCD screens and LCD TVs have become popular, replacing traditionally used cathode ray tube displays and televisions. However, liquid crystal displays also have their disadvantages. Because of the limitation of the liquid crystal molecular characteristics, when the image data is switched, the liquid crystal molecules must be reversed to change the arrangement direction, so that the kneading delay occurs. In order to respond to the rapid switching of images, how to improve the response speed of liquid crystals is becoming more and more important. In order to speed up the deflection speed of the liquid crystal molecules of the pixel, the recent overdrive (please drive) method has been used on the liquid crystal display, and the overdrive method is to increase the pixel (4) to increase the surface to increase the pixel conversion to grayscale 1270045. When the difference in image data values, the speed of deflection of its liquid crystal molecules is accelerated. In addition, since the data voltage applied to the pixel may be different from the original predetermined data voltage by the method of overdrive driving, in the driving circuit of the general liquid crystal display device, a look-up table component (Look_Up Table) is usually designed. Unit, LUT unit), by means of image poor materials in the front and back of the frame period, an excessive image is found in a parameter table (Look_UpTable, LUT) to replace the original image data, thereby making the data line driving circuit Generating a data voltage corresponding to the overexcited image data to overdrive a certain pixel in the liquid crystal display panel. Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the first diagram is a data flow diagram of a conventional look-up table component 1 , and the second diagram is a schematic diagram of a worm table 12 used by the third map component 1 〇 . . The main function of the look-up table component 10 is based on a current image data De and a delayed image data Dp, and the corresponding over-excited image data Dout is output from the parameter table u and output. Parameter Table 12 records a plurality of super-excited images (4) 14. The look-up component 1() finds the over-excited image data according to the image data of the two frame periods before and after, and applies the corresponding data line voltage to drive the liquid crystal molecules of the pixel. Deflected to the appropriate angle to represent the corresponding gray level. The lookup element 1() records the overexcited image material required for any gray scale conversion to other gray scales. The advantage is that its accuracy is higher, but its disadvantage is that the amount of material is large, such as per stroke. The length of 1270045 14 is 8 bits to calculate, and the memory capacity required to store table lookup element 10 is (256x25 6x8x3) bits, which is 196,608 bytes. Please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, FIG. 3 is a data flow diagram of another conventional look-up table component 20, and FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a parameter table 24 used by the look-up table component 20 of FIG. Similar to the prior art, the look-up component 20 also queries a parameter table 24 based on the current image data Dc and the delayed image data Dp to determine an over-excited image data Dout, which is different from the over-excited image data. The Dout-based calculation unit 22 obtains a parameter value Dref obtained by querying the parameter table 24 and obtains it by an internal difference method. The parameter table 24 records a plurality of parameter values 26, each of which corresponds to a certain gray scale range of image data Dc and a gray scale range of delayed image data Dp, for example, the parameter value D3_2 corresponds to the gray scale range. The image data Dc of 16 to 23 and the delayed image data Dp of the gray scale range of 8 to 15. Because the overtone image data Dout calculation unit 22 obtains the internal difference calculation according to the parameter value Dref obtained from the query parameter table 24, the accuracy is low, but the amount of data is relatively low, for example, each of the overexcited data The length of 26 is 16 bits to calculate, and the memory capacity required for storing the lookup element 10 is (32x32x16x3) bits, that is, 6,144 bytes. 1270045 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for over-exciting a liquid crystal display panel that takes into account both the amount of material and accuracy.

If the first-order reference block is located in the first-order unspecified area 62, the calculating unit 54 calculates the over-excited image data Dov according to the first-order reference data Dn, DfD87 or D88 recorded by the first-order reference block. If the first-order reference block is located in the first-order specific area 66, the calculating unit 54 reads the corresponding second-order block from the second-order parameter table 70 according to the image data Dc, Dp of the two-frame period. 72 recorded reference materials, and based on the reference materials read, the over-excited image data Dov was obtained. Compared with the conventional method for driving the liquid crystal display panel, the method of the present invention can set the parameter table of each order for the need of the image data of different precisions, and divide the specific area and the non-specific area in the parameter table of each order. , to achieve a balance between memory capacity requirements and the accuracy of over-exaggerated image data.
