  • Patent number: 8199080
    Abstract: A display device having frame display duration of X, including: emission elements corresponding to each pixel to be displayed, disposed on L lines, with the scanning direction as lines; a scanning driving unit scanning and driving the emission elements; M data signal driving units driving the emission elements to display an image; and a control unit supplying data signals corresponding to an image to the M data signal driving units, and controlling the scanning driving unit; wherein N is an integer satisfying 0?N?L/M?1, and a an integer satisfying 0<a?M; the control unit supplies the data signal of the M×N+a'th line to the a'th data signal driving unit; and the scanning driving unit scans and drives the emission elements such that the M lines of the emission elements are driven simultaneously, the difference of driving start point-in-time of each line becomes X/L, and the emission duration of each line becomes M×X/L.

  • Publication number: 20100097358
    Abstract: A drive circuit for a display panel includes a data driver unit for controlling an image display operation in a display panel, and a timing control unit for providing the data driver unit with signals necessary for the data driver unit to perform the control, the signals including at least a horizontal synchronizing signal, an image data signal for specifying content of the image to be displayed on the display panel, and a data driver control signal for specifying content of the control to be performed by the data driver unit. The image data signal and the data driver control signal are transmitted through the same signal line, with the data driver control signal being transmitted during a period in which the horizontal synchronizing signal is transmitted and the image data signal being transmitted during a period other than the period in which the horizontal synchronizing signal is transmitted.
