Patent ID: 7936345

Claim:
A driver for driving a display panel, comprising: a receiver receiving a first signal comprising image data inputted from outside of a chip upon which said driver is fabricated and outputting a second signal comprising said image data, said receiver including: at least one receiving circuit receiving a differential signal comprising said image data; a data inversion signal generator detecting a change before or after each bit of said image data outputted from said receiving circuit to produce an inversion control signal, said data inversion signal generator comprising cascade-connected latch circuits of two stages; a second data inversion circuit inverting logic levels of output of said data inversion signal generator; and an IFM terminal receiving an interface mode selection signal; a data capturing circuit including: a plurality of signal lines transmitting said second signal comprising said image data outputted from said receiver; a data inversion circuit responding to said inversion control signal to invert logic levels of said image data on said signal lines so as to output inverted image data; and a data register storing said inverted image data; and a latch circuit storing image data to be displayed by said display panel outputted from said data register, wherein said receiver, said data capturing circuit, and said latch circuit are on a single chip.
