Abstract
A digital-analog converter (DAC) including: a gray scale generator having a plurality of switches for generating desired gray scale voltages through charge sharing between at least two data lines; a switching signal generator for providing operation control signals for the plurality of switches of the gray scale generator; and a reference voltage generator for generating reference voltages and for providing the reference voltages to the gray scale generator. In one embodiment, the charge sharing used by the DAC is executed by a holding capacitor and a sampling capacitor, and the holding capacitor and the sampling capacitor are formed using respective parasitic capacitance components existing in the at least two data lines, thereby reducing area and power consumption over an existing R-string type of DAC.
