In this letter, a scan driver circuit that can generate scan signals only in a selected area is proposed. It refreshes only the area that needs to be updated without refreshing the whole display. The proposed circuit with ten stages was fabricated using oxide thin film transistors. The additional area for selective driving occupies only 14.5 % of the unit stage area. This study confirms that the power consumption in the data lines and pixels for a dot pattern can be reduced by 25 % and 37.5 % when 50 % and 25 % of scan lines are selected, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
