Abstract: A display panel driving apparatus includes an interface, a timing controller, a gate driver, and data driver. The interface includes a data determiner to determine whether or not input image data has a communication error and to process a packet of a data stream of the input image data, even though the input image data has the communication error. The timing controller receives the processed input image data from the interface and generates a data signal, a gate control signal, and a data control signal. The gate driver generates a gate signal based on the gate control signal. The data driver generates a data voltage based on the data control signal and the data signal.

Abstract: A display driver integrated circuit includes a first slave module and a second slave module. The first slave module is initially set as a primary module to receive a mode conversion command, and is disabled based on the mode conversion command. The second slave module is initially set as a secondary module that does not receive the mode conversion command, and is set as the primary module instead of the first slave module when the first slave module is disabled. The first and second slave modules control processing or transfer of data through a channel included in or coupled to a display according to a predetermined protocol.

Abstract: A display device includes a display panel having an active area in which sub-pixels formed at crossing regions of data lines extending in a first direction and gate lines extending in a second direction crossing the first direction are arranged, and a non-active area outside of the active area. A driver supplies a drive signal to the gate and data lines in the display panel. Data links are extended in the first direction from the driver to supply a data signal to the data lines. Gate links are extended out from the driver and extended up to the active area in the first direction from the non-active area between the driver and the active area so as to supply a gate signal to the gate lines extending in the second direction. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce or minimize the area of the non-active area and/or to improve an aperture ratio.
