  • Publication number: 20110096106
    Abstract: A timing controller is connected via a common bus to multiple data drivers which drive a display panel. A reception interface circuit receives image data including each color (R, G, and B). A timing control unit controls the timing of the luminance data for each color, i.e., R, G, and B, such that it conforms to the multiple data drivers provided as the transmission destinations. A transmission interface circuit transmits the luminance data for each color, the timing of which is controlled by the timing control unit, and a synchronization clock, to the multiple data drivers via the common bus. The transmission interface circuit is configured so as to independently adjust the respective phases of the synchronization clock and the luminance data for each color to be output to the bus.

  • Patent number: 7208988
    Abstract: The clock generator of this invention saves a buffer memory for the data transfer interface, which has conventionally been required, when using a spectrum spread clock in circuits and devices inside a system. The clock generator can easily be applied as the operational clock in a system, and enhances the performance of the system. In the clock generator, the variable delay circuit controls the phase of the reference clock generated by an oscillator. The delay setting circuit is able to vary the setting of the control voltage to the variable delay circuit at each clock cycle, and modulates the phase of the reference clock. The phase modulation means of the delay setting circuit fluctuates the cycle of the output modulation clock to thereby spread the spectrum.
