Data and gate line sharing methods for low-cost and high-pixel density TFT-LCDs

New pixel circuit and driving schemes to reduce the number of both data lines and gate lines to half of the traditional TFTLCDs are proposed. This idea contributes to cost-down of TFT-LCDs by halving the number of the required data driver ICs and gate driver ICs and supports higher-resolution TFT-LCDs by doubling the pitch of data lines.
