Abstract: A timing controller capable of communicating with a host via a Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) interface and communicating with a display via a display interface, includes a detection circuit that detects whether at least one of the MIPI interface and the timing controller is operating normally, and generates a detection signal, and an interrupt generation circuit that transmits the detection signal as an interrupt to the host via an exclusive line.

Abstract: A display drive integrated circuit includes a frame buffer, an output selector and a timing controller. The output selector selectively outputs one of image data read from the frame buffer and image data transmitted from a source external to the display drive integrated circuit. The timing controller controls output of the image data read from the frame buffer to the display panel in a self-refresh mode, and controls internal display timing to track external display timing when the display drive integrated circuit exits from the self-refresh mode to control the output selector to output the image data transmitted from the source to the display panel when the internal display timing is synchronized to the external display timing.
