Patent ID: 8405785

Claim:
A television display system comprising: a display system controller configured to receive pixel data and pixel timing and control signals, and responsive to a pixel data format corresponding to a selected communication standard of a plurality of differential signaling communication standards that includes LVDS and at least one of RSDS and mini-LVDS, to provide formatted pixel data that is formatted according to the pixel data format of said selected communication standard; a data framer configured to format the pixel data along with the pixel timing and control signals according to the pixel data format of LVDS responsive to LVDS being said selected communication standard, the data framer being configured to receive the pixel data and the pixel timing and control signals and to format only the pixel data according to the pixel data format of RSDS and mini-LVDS responsive to the selected one of RSDS and mini-LVDS being said selected communication standard; a transmitter configured to receive the formatted pixel data, and to transmit the formatted pixel data for receipt according to a pixel data rate corresponding to said selected communication standard; and an integrated timing controller configured to receive the pixel timing and control data, and responsive to said selected communication standard being one of RSDS and mini-LVDS, to generate pixel display timing and control signals to display the formatted pixel data at the pixel data rate corresponding to said selected communication standard on a television display; wherein the data framer is further configured to format the pixel data at the pixel data rate of LVDS responsive to any one of LVDS, RSDS, and mini-LVDS being said selected communication standard, and to repeat each bit of the pixel data during formatting of the pixel data according to the pixel data format of RSDS and mini-LVDS responsive to the selected one of RSDS and mini-LVDS being said selected communication standard to provide an effective pixel data rate that is received according to the pixel data rate of the selected one of RSDS and mini-LVDS.
