Patent ID: 8363037

Claim:
A circuit for resetting a display having at least one driver outputting a driving voltage through an output channel to a corresponding data line of a panel, the circuit comprising: a first switch actuated by a control pulse to transfer a reset voltage to the data line of the panel; and a second switch actuated by the control pulse to electrically isolate the output channel of the driver from the data line of the panel; wherein the control pulse is asserted during transient periods resulting from power-on and power-off of the display, wherein the transient period resulting from the power-on of the display starts when a digital power supply increases, continues when the digital power supply becomes stable, when an analog power supply increases and when an analog power supply becomes stable, and ends before the first latched data is outputted from a line buffer of the driver, wherein the transient period resulting from the power-off of the display starts when a level of the analog power supply decreases to a predetermined level, wherein the reset voltage is within a range of the analog power supply.
