Using the first clock signal CK1 being the foremost as an example, the first clock signal CK1, the second clock signal CK2, the third clock signal CK3, and the fourth clock signal CK4 are cyclically enabled.

(23) Therefore, when the display device 10 is operated in the second mode and displays the first frame, the first enabling signal STV1 is enabled, the second enabling signal STV2 is disabled, the Pth-stage shift register circuit and the (P+2)th-stage shift register circuit are enabled, and the (P+1)th-stage shift register circuit and the (P+3)th-stage shift register circuit are disabled.

(27) When the display device 10 is operated in the second mode and displays the second frame, the first enabling signal STV1 is disabled, and the second enabling signal STV2 is enabled. Therefore, the Pth-stage shift register circuit and the (P+2)th-stage shift register circuit are disabled, and the (P+1)th-stage shift register circuit and the (P+3)th-stage shift register circuit are enabled. At the time T.sub.1, the (P+1)th-stage shift register circuit enables the outputted (N3)th-stage drive signal G.sub.N3 to be also at the enabled voltage level because the first clock signal CK1 is at the enabled voltage level.

The Nth-stage shift register circuit is disabled because of the (N4)th-stage drive signal G.sub.N4. The (N+1)th-stage shift register circuit is enabled because of the (N3)th-stage drive signal G.sub.N3. At the time T.sub.3, when the third clock signal CK3 is at the enabled voltage level, the (N+1)th-stage drive signal G.sub.N+1 of the (N+1)th-stage shift register circuit is also at the enabled voltage level. The (N+2)th-stage shift register circuit is disabled because of the (N2)th-stage drive signal G.sub.N2.

At the time T.sub.8, the Qth-stage shift register circuit enables the outputted (N+11)th-stage drive signal G.sub.N+11 to be at the enabled voltage level because the fourth clock signal CK4 is at the enabled voltage level, where the (N+11)th-stage drive signal G.sub.N+11 is transmitted to the (N+7)th-stage shift register, so as to turn off the (N+7)th-stage shift register, and complete pixel driving of the second frame. The pixel rows driven by the first frame and the second frame are different, and the pixel rows driven by the first frame and the second frame are adjacent. Therefore, when the display device 10 is operated in the second mode, only some of the pixel rows to be displayed are driven when displaying each frame, and adjacent frames drive different pixel rows. In this embodiment, using driving a half of the pixel rows to be displayed as an example, the HFR display mode is simulated.

(35) When the display device 10 is operated in the first mode and is going to display the image frame, both the first enabling signal STV1 and the second enabling signal STV2 are enabled. Therefore, the Pth-stage shift register circuit and the (P+1)th-stage shift register circuit are enabled. At the time T.sub.1, the Pth-stage shift register circuit enables the outputted (N2)th-stage drive signal G.sub.N2 to be at the enabled voltage level because the third clock signal CK3 is at the enabled voltage level.

The Nth-stage shift register circuit is enabled because of the (N2)th-stage drive signal G.sub.N2. At the time T.sub.3, when the first clock signal CK1 is at the enabled voltage level, the Nth-stage drive signal G.sub.N outputted by the Nth-stage shift register circuit is at the enabled voltage level. The (N+1)th-stage shift register circuit is enabled because of the (N1)th-stage drive signal G.sub.N1.

The level enabling period of the (N+1)th-stage drive signal G.sub.N+1 does not overlap the level enabling period of the Nth-stage drive signal G.sub.N; the level enabling period of the (N+2)th-stage drive signal G.sub.N+2 does not overlap the level enabling period of the (N+1)th-stage drive signal G.sub.N+1; and the level enabling period of the (N+3)th-stage drive signal G.sub.N+3 does not overlap the level enabling period of the (N+2)th-stage drive signal G.sub.N+2.

(37) The (Q1)th-stage shift register circuit and the Qth-stage shift register circuit are enabled because of the first disabling signal VEND1 and the second disabling signal VEND2. At the time T.sub.11, the (Q1)th-stage shift register circuit enables the outputted (N+8)th-stage drive signal G.sub.N+8 to be at the enabled voltage level because the first clock signal CK1 is at the enabled voltage level, where the (N+8)th-stage drive signal G.sub.N+8 is transmitted to the (N+6)th-stage shift register, so as to turn off the (N+6)th-stage shift register. At the time T.sub.12, the Qth-stage shift register circuit enables the outputted (N+9)th-stage drive signal G.sub.N+9 to be at the enabled voltage level because the second clock signal CK2 is at the enabled voltage level, where the (N+9)th-stage drive signal G.sub.N+9 is transmitted to the (N+7)th-stage shift register, so as to turn off the (N+7)th-stage shift register, and complete pixel driving of a single frame.

At the time T.sub.6, The (Q1)th-stage shift register circuit outputs the (N+8)th-stage drive signal G.sub.N+8 because the first clock signal CK1 is at the enabled voltage level, where the (N+8)th-stage drive signal G.sub.N+8 is transmitted to the (N+6)th-stage shift register, so as to turn off the (N+6)th-stage shift register. In this way, the pixel driving of the first frame is completed.

At the time T.sub.6, the Qth-stage shift register circuit enables the outputted (N+9)th-stage drive signal G.sub.N+9 to be at the enabled voltage level because the second clock signal CK2 is at the enabled voltage level, where the (N+9)th-stage drive signal G.sub.N+9 is transmitted to the (N+7)th-stage shift register, so as to turn off the (N+7)th-stage shift register, and complete pixel driving of the second frame. The pixel rows driven by the first frame and the second frame are different, and the pixel rows driven by the first frame and the second frame are adjacent. Therefore, when the display device 10 is operated in the second mode, only some of the pixel rows to be displayed are driven when displaying each frame, and adjacent frames drive different pixel rows. In this embodiment, using driving a half of the pixel rows to be displayed as an example, the HFR display mode is simulated.

(46) Refer to FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B.

FIG. 6B is a schematic diagram of a timing embodiment of the first enabling signal STV1, the second enabling signal STV2, the first disabling signal VEND1, and the second disabling signal VEND2 of the gate driving circuit 12 operated in the second mode according to the present disclosure. A frame 1 and a frame 2 are two frames adjacent at time, where the frame 2 is generated subsequent to the frame 1, the frame 1 is, for example, the foregoing first frame, and the frame 2 is, for example, the foregoing second frame, but is not limited thereto. As stated above, when the gate driving circuit 12 is operated in the first mode, the first enabling signal STV1 and the second enabling signal STV2 of each frame are both enabled, and the first disabling signal VEND1 and the second disabling signal VEND2 are both enabled, as shown in the frame 1 and the frame 2 in FIG. 6A. FIG. 6B is a schematic diagram of a timing embodiment of the first enabling signal STV1, the second enabling signal STV2, the first disabling signal VEND1, and the second disabling signal VEND2 of the gate driving circuit 12 operated in the second mode according to the present disclosure.

In this way, a loss of cost is reduced, and commercial benefits of the display device 10 are further effectively improved.

Any person of ordinary skill in the art may make some variations and modifications without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure.
