Patent ID: 6909418

Claim:
An image display apparatus, which comprises: a display panel; a plurality of drive circuits which drive said display panel and are connected to each other; and a timing controller connected by a data bus group and a shift/inversion signal line to each of said drive circuits, said timing controller transmitting plural consecutive video signals over said data bus group to said drive circuits, said timing controller following a first, non-inverted video signal with a consecutive second, inverted video signal, the first video signal transmitted as a digital signal to said plurality of drive circuits while transmitting a start pulse, over the shift/inversion signal line instructing to start reading said first video signal to one of said plurality of drive circuits, said timing controller transmitting the inverted video signal to said drive circuits when the amount of digital signal change between two consecutive video signals reaches or exceeds a predetermined value while transmitting an inversion signal, over the shift/inversion signal line indicating that the inverted video signal is being transmitted to said drive circuits, said start pulse and said inversion signal being transmitted to said one drive circuit via said shift/inversion signal line.
