Abstract:
1. A driver circuit for providing driving signals to drive a plurality of display pixel elements arranged in a plurality of rows and columns in a display system, the rows and columns of display pixel elements being coupled to associated ones of the row and column lines, respectively, the driver circuit comprising: a plurality of driver units coupled to associated ones of the plurality of column lines, each of the driver units being configured to receive display data signals for the associated column line and an adjacent one of the column lines, and to provide a drive signal on a driver unit output to the display pixel elements coupled to the associated column line; and a plurality of switching components respectively coupled between the outputs of ones of the driver units coupled to adjacent ones of the plurality of column lines, and configured to electrically couple the adjacent outputs in response to a control signal from an associated one of the driver units when the display data signals for the adjacent column lines are the same; wherein each of the plurality of driver units includes:
