Abstract:
1. A driving method for driving a display panel, comprising: providing a plurality of timing controllers, the timing controllers each driving in parallel as a whole a respective portion of the display panel; a step in which, when any abnormality has occurred regarding inputting of an image signal and/or a control signal to an arbitrary timing controller, said arbitrary timing controller directly informs any one of other timing controllers of the occurrence of the abnormality via two-way communication between said arbitrary timing controller and the one of other timing controllers; a step in which the one of other timing controllers directly transfers the image signal and/or the control signal to said arbitrary timing controller via the two-way communication when informed of the occurrence of the abnormality; and a step in which said arbitrary timing controller exerts a driving control of said display panel based on the image signal and/or the control signal received from the one of other timing controllers.
