Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device that receives image data from external devices and displays said image data as a plurality of display lines on a liquid crystal display panel, each of said plurality of display lines having an order number of dots and each of said ordered number of dots having a number of bits, said liquid crystal display device, comprising:means for splitting said image data of each of said display lines into a plurality of split blocks of said image data, wherein said plurality of split blocks of image data corresponds to a plurality of source drivers in a one-to-one manner, means for serially reading dot by dot each of said plurality of split blocks of said image data and further for transforming said image data of each of said dots in serial form; means for serially transferring said image data in said serial form from each of said plurality of split blocks of said image data to a corresponding one of said plurality of source drivers; means for transforming said image data received in serial form into image data in parallel form having a specified bit length; means for combining said image data in parallel form from each of said plurality of source drivers in accordance with an arrangement of said source drivers; means for converting said image data in parallel form to signals applied to outputs of said plurality of source drivers that correspond in a one-to-one manner to said ordered number of dots of each of said plurality of display lines to be displayed; and means for displaying said outputs of said plurality of source drivers to produce a display line corresponding to each of said plurality of display lines received from said external devices.
