A display device, comprising a display panel and a touch panel. The display panel comprises a plurality of scan lines. The plurality of scan lines are respectively classified into a plurality of scan areas, and the display panel is configured to sequentially scan the plurality of scan areas through the plurality of scanning lines. The touch panel is electrically connected to the display panel, and is configured to receive a touch signal. During a first frame period, when a position of the touch signal corresponds to one of plurality of the scan areas, the display panel is configured to start scanning the plurality of scan areas from the one of the plurality of the scan areas to display an image of the plurality of scan areas.

Display device and display device driving method

A display device and a driving protection method thereof are provided. The display device includes a timing controller and a source driver. The timing controller encrypts a verification data to generate a first encryption signal. The source driver coupled to the timing controller receives the first encryption signal. The source driver decrypts the first encryption signal to obtain a first decryption data. The source driver encrypts the first decryption data to generate a second encryption signal. The source driver outputs the second encryption signal to the timing controller. The timing controller decrypts the second encryption signal to obtain a second decryption data. When the timing controller determines that the second decryption data matches the verification data, the timing controller enables the source driver to perform display driving.

Display device and driving protection method thereof

An electro-phoretic display apparatus including an electro-phoretic display panel and a driving circuit is provided. The electro-phoretic display panel includes a display area and a border area. The driving circuit is configured to drive the display area to display an image frame according to a first voltage. The driving circuit drives the border area to maintain displaying a border of a first color or a second color according to a second voltage. The driving circuit generates the second voltage according to the first voltage. The border area includes electro-phoretic particles of the first color or the second color. A voltage difference between the first voltage and the second voltage drives the electro-phoretic particles of the first color or the second color to be maintained to a predetermined position such that the border area maintains displaying the border of the first color or the second color.

Electro-phoretic display apparatus

An electro-phoretic display apparatus including an electro-phoretic display panel and a driving circuit is provided. The electro-phoretic display panel includes a display area and a border area. The driving circuit is coupled to the electro-phoretic display panel. The driving circuit is configured to drive the display area to display an image frame according to a first voltage. The driving circuit drives the border area to maintain displaying a white border or a black border according to a second voltage.

A thin film transistor array substrate suitable for being applied in an electronic ink display device is provided. The thin film transistor array substrate includes a substrate, scan lines, data lines, thin film transistors, pixel electrodes and testing signal lines. The data lines and the scan lines are disposed and define a plurality of pixel regions on the substrate. Each thin film transistor is disposed in the respective pixel region and driven by the corresponding scan line and data line. In addition, each pixel electrode is disposed in respective pixel region and electrically connected to the thin film transistor corresponding thereto. Furthermore, the testing signal line connects to the scan lines and/or the data lines in series. The testing accuracy as well as the production yield of the electronic ink display device and the thin film transistor array substrate can be improved by the design of the aforementioned testing circuit.
