It is to be understood that the embodiments described are only a few embodiments of the present application and not all embodiments.

In current Active Matrix (AM) displays, including AMLCD, AMOLED, AM-MiniLED, AM-MicroLED, etc., these types of displays include a scan driver for supplying scan signals through scan lines and a data driver for supplying data signals through data lines. In order to improve the resolution of the display device, the number of data lines and data driving circuits is increased, which leads to an increase in cost. In order that the number of data driving circuits can be reduced, data signals are time-divided and then sequentially applied to data lines using a demultiplexer circuit. Such a display device may simultaneously connect one external data signal to two data lines of the display panel.
However, this technique has some disadvantages, one of which is that the charging time of each pixel is halved, and higher requirements are put on the on-state current and carrier mobility of the TFT therein, for which Oxide TFT or LTPS TFT can be used to drive the pixel; a second disadvantage is that while signals are input to adjacent data lines, Pixel TFTs corresponding to another row of data lines are not turned off, so that the data voltage stored in the floating data line is changed due to the capacitive coupling between the adjacent data lines, thereby affecting the Pixel voltage and causing degradation or distortion of the image quality. This problem is not solved by Oxide TFTs and LTPS TFTs.
Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present application proposes a display panel. The present application will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

Where each data signalinput 10 is for inputting a signal to a pixel, each set of data signalinputs 10 includes two data signal inputs, for example, a first data signal input D1 and a second data signal input D2, N being a natural number greater than 1. Themulti-column pixels 40 comprise a plurality of groups of pixel groups, themulti-column pixels 40 are arranged in a matrix, and the M columns of pixels connected with the same data signal input end are one pixel group, wherein each group of pixel groups comprises the M columns ofpixels 40 connected with the same data signal input end, and the multi-column pixels connected with the two data signal input ends of the same group of data signal input ends are arranged in a crossed manner, so that the pixels of adjacent columns are connected with the different data signal input ends in the pixel groups. I.e. the pixels of the first data signalinput 10 are arranged across the pixels of the group of pixels to which the second data signal input is connected, so that adjacent pixels are connected to different data signal inputs. The time-division multiplexingsignal input module 20 includes M signal lines for inputting time-division multiplexing signals, and different signal lines receive the time-division multiplexing signals in a time-division manner, so that the data signalinput terminal 10 inputs signals to pixels in different columns in a time-division manner, where the time-division multiplexingsignal input module 20 is configured to selectively connect two data signal input terminals of each group of data signal input terminals with the M data lines in each data line group one by one, so that the different signal lines receive the time-division multiplexing signals in a time-division manner, and the data signal input terminals input signals to the pixels in different columns in a time-division manner.

The capacitor is arranged between adjacent data lines connected with the same data signal input end. By providing a capacitor between twoadjacent data lines 30 connected to the same data signal input terminal, the capacitive coupling generated between theadjacent data lines 30 can be cancelled, thereby preventing the data voltage stored in the data lines 30 from being changed, and further solving the problem of image quality degradation or distortion.

In some embodiments, the capacitance of the capacitor is between 1fF and 1 pF.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a signal timing diagram of a display panel according to an embodiment of the disclosure. It can be seen from the figure that P is detailed in the ideal case without considering the capacitive coupling1(N, 2-1) at t0When thefirst signal line 210 is turned on, the second data signal input terminal D2 inputs a signal to thepixel 40 at point P (N, 2-1), at t1When thefirst signal line 210 is disconnected, the second data signal input terminal D2 is disconnected from D (2-1), and the voltage D (1-2) is maintained; at t2When the ground line G (N) is closed, the transistor is closed, the P (N, 2-1) signal is disconnected with the D (2-1), and the voltage is always kept unchanged.
However, in practice,adjacent data lines 30 are capacitively coupled. For details see P2(N, 2-1) at t1At this time, thefirst signal line 210 is turned off,d (1-2) and D (2) are disconnected, the voltage of D (1-2) is unchanged, but D (2-1) is changed due to the fact that thesecond signal line 220 is opened to be connected into D (1), the voltage of D (2-1) is influenced through capacitive coupling betweenadjacent data lines 30, G (N) is started at the moment, and therefore the voltage of P (N, 2-1) is influenced, and at t2G (N) is turned off, and P (N, 2-1) maintains the voltage unchanged, and the voltage is different from the preset voltage, so that deviation is generated.
In the present proposal, by adding the capacitor C (2), the interlaced data lines 30D (2-2) and D (2-1) can also generate coupling at t1, and because D (1-2) and D (2-2) are respectively in the positive frame and the negative frame at t1, the pulling of the capacitive coupling on the D (2-1) voltage is in opposite directions, and the two are offset, the influence on the D (2-1) voltage can be greatly reduced, so that the influence on the P (N, 2-1) voltage is reduced, and the P (N, 2-1) voltage is closer to the ideal preset state.
In some embodiments, a potential control module is disposed between the transistors of each group ofdata lines 30 and the time division multiplexing signal output terminal.
The display panel provided in the embodiments of the present application is described in detail above. The principles and implementations of the present application are described herein using specific examples, which are presented only to aid in understanding the present application.
