Abstract
A display panel includes a pixel block, a data circuit, and a data source. The pixel block includes a first sub-pixel coupled to a first data line, and N second sub-pixels. Each second sub-pixel of the N second sub-pixels is coupled to a corresponding second data line of N second data lines. The data circuit includes N switches. Each switch of the N switches is coupled to a corresponding second sub-pixel. When N voltage levels are sequentially outputted from the data source to the first data line and the N second data lines, the N switches are disabled sequentially.

A display panel, comprising:
- a pixel block, comprising:
- a first sub-pixel coupled to a first data line;
- and
- N second sub-pixels, each second sub-pixel of the N second sub-pixels coupled to a corresponding second data line of N second data lines;
- a data circuit, comprising:
- N switches, each switch of the N switches coupled to a corresponding second data line for reaching a corresponding second sub-pixel, wherein N is a positive integer;
- and
- a data source coupled to the first data line and the N switches;
- wherein N voltage levels are outputted from the data source to the first sub-pixel via the first data line;
- and
- wherein each of the N switches is enabled in sequence for forwarding a corresponding one of N voltage levels to the corresponding second sub-pixel via the corresponding second data line;
- wherein each of N voltage levels passes through the first sub-pixel before reaching each of N switches.
