  • Patent number: 8780093
    Abstract: A method for transmitting image data in a display is provided. The method includes the steps of: sending first pixel data through a first bus to a source driver; sending second pixel data through a second bus to the source driver; reorganizing the first pixel data and the second pixel data in the source driver; and generating third pixel data according to the reorganization of the first pixel data and the second pixel data for channels in the source driver. A display is also disclosed herein.

  • Publication number: 20110025697
    Abstract: A method for transmitting image data through reduced swing differential signaling (RSDS) transmission interfaces to a driver in a display is provided, in which the image data include a number of pixel values each represented by a number of bits. The method includes the step of: simultaneously transmitting at least two bits of one of the pixel values by a single timing controller in one time period, in which each of the simultaneously transmitted bits is transmitted through a respective data line of the RSDS transmission interfaces.

  • Publication number: 20100315388
    Abstract: A source driver receiving data from an external bus is provided. The source driver comprises: a plurality of internal buses; a serial-to-parallel unit, a shift register and a plurality of channels. The serial-to-parallel unit is for receiving the data from the external bus and converting the data into plural display data for transmitting respectively on the internal buses in parallel; the shift register is for outputting shift control signals; and the plurality of channels are for latching data from the internal buses according to the shift control signals; wherein each shift control signal controls at least two channels that correspond respectively to the internal buses.

  • Publication number: 20100188379
    Abstract: A display comprises a panel, a gate driver and a plurality of source drivers. The panel comprises a plurality of pixels arranged in an array. The gate driver is provided for selectively activating a gate line of the panel. The source drivers, during a line period, receive a plurality of transfer pulses, each of which corresponds to one of the source drivers. The source drivers drive one row of the pixels corresponding to the activated gate line, while triggered by the corresponding transfer pulse, wherein the transfer pulses are not all identical. A method for driving a display is also disclosed herein.
