  • Publication number: 20170345356
    Abstract: A display driving apparatus includes a compression module, a storing module, a reading control module and a decompression module.

The non-black data includes color information of each non-black bit in the input data signal. The reading control module reads the 1-bit compressed data from the storing module and the decompression module performs 1-bit decompression on the 1-bit compressed data to generate an output data signal. When the decompression module performs 1-bit decompression, the decompression module determines whether each bit of the 1-bit compressed data corresponds to black. If yes, the bit is displayed in black; if no, the reading control module reads a color corresponding to the bit from the non-black data stored in the storing module and the bit is displayed in the color.
