Patent ID: 8009161

Claim:
A display device for improving internal transmission efficiency, the display device comprising: a timing controller for generating a plurality of data signals and a plurality of start-up signals; a plurality of source drivers coupled to the timing controller; a differential signal transmitter installed in the timing controller, for discontinuously transmitting a reduced swing differential signaling (RSDS) signal comprising the plurality of data signals and the plurality of start-up signals; and a plurality of differential signal receivers installed in the plurality of source drivers, for receiving the RSDS signal; wherein the differential signal transmitter stops transmission between one of the plurality of the start-up signals and one of the plurality of the data signals for a corresponding source driver of the plurality of the source driver to determine a type of the received RSDS signal and wherein the differential signal transmitter transmits to the corresponding source driver the start-up signal first and then the data signal in the order.
