First " And the second switch 316 is turned off, and the output stage 31 is turned on to drive the analog data 203 to the output node 311. During the turn-on period 4〇3, the signal G of the broom line 13 is high, and further turned on—the column The opening point is fine. The opening period is _ signal L is in the first state - the state 4 〇ι # time the intersection of the two is - initial position, with the initial data of the pass. And the opening period 403 and the flash lock signal L is located in the second When the state is 4〇2, the intersection of the two is the driving cycle, and the actual transmission analog data is 2〇3. Therefore, during the driving cycle, the scanning line 13 turns on a column of pixel points 2〇〇, and this column is drawn.
