The present invention relates to a display technology field, and more particularly to a demultiplexer and a display device.
A demultiplexer is used for reducing the number of output leads of a driving chip in the manufacturing process of a thin-film transistor liquid crystal display device. A common demultiplexer has two types. The first type is a demultiplexer that is controlled through N-type thin-film transistors, requiring three control signals (CKR, CKG, CKB) to realize multiple outputs of the driving chip. The second type is a demultiplexer controlled by a transmission gate, and six control signals (CKR, CKG, CKB, XCKR, XCKG, XCKB) are required in order to realize multiple outputs of the driving chip so as to greatly reduce the number of the output leads of the driving chip. Besides, the power consumption of the display device is a very important index. The display device having low power consumption is more competitive in the market so that decreasing the power consumption of the display device is a problem urgent to be solved.
