  • Patent number: 10121404
    Abstract: A data driver includes a receiver, a transition minimization coding (“TMC”) decoder, a dithering adder and a voltage generator. The receiver receives a clock signal and first image data which is generating by removing a dithering from a dithered original image data and performing a TMC. The TMC decoder removes the TMC from the first image data to generate second image data. The dithering adder restores the removed dithering based on the clock signal and the second image data to generate third image data. The voltage generator generates a plurality of data voltages based on the third image data.
