Patent ID: 7148866

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) apparatus equipped with an image processor and a liquid crystal panel having a matrix array formed with liquid crystal pixels to display video data processed by the image processor on a screen, comprising: a driver array having liquid crystal pixel drivers connected in series, the driver array driving the liquid crystal pixel drivers; and a timing controller converting the video data into respective serial data bit streams for each liquid crystal pixel driver and transmitting the serial data bit streams to the driver array, so that the driver array controls each liquid crystal pixel driver to receive the respective serial data bit streams, wherein each of the liquid crystal pixel drivers comprises: a by-pass bit output terminal transmitting inputted data to the liquid crystal drivers adjacent to each other in sequence, and the by-pass bit output terminal of a final liquid crystal driver is connected to a by-pass reset input terminal of each of said liquid crystal drivers, forming a by-pass reset line, so that a by-pass bit of each of said liquid crystal drivers can be reset when said by-pass bit is set up in said final liquid crystal driver and said final liquid crystal driver outputs a by-pass bit output to said by-pass reset input terminal of each of said liquid crystal drivers, and a by-pass set-up register receiving said respective serial data bit stream, and wherein each of the serial data bit streams comprises a by-pass set-up bit stream to set up the by-pass set-up register to allow respective data to be stored in the corresponding liquid crystal pixel driver.
