Patent ID: 8228280

Claim:
A display apparatus comprising: a liquid crystal panel; a gate driver and a source driver which drive the liquid crystal panel; a printed-circuit board arranged along one side of the liquid crystal panel; a connector mounted on the printed-circuit board, via which a cable for transmitting image data to be displayed on the liquid crystal panel is detachably connected; a timing control circuit mounted on the printed-circuit board, configured to receive the image data and to output the image data to the gate driver and the source driver, the timing control circuit comprising: a reception interface circuit which receives a luminance signal for each of multiple colors and a clock signal; a timing control unit which receives the luminance signals received by the reception interface circuit, and controls the timing and format thereof such that they match the driver; a transmission interface circuit which transmits signals generated by the timing control unit to the driver, the timing control circuit being included within a rectangular package, the rectangular package having a first short side and a second short side opposite to the first short side, as a built-in component, the reception interface circuit being arranged on the first short side, the transmission interface circuit being arranged on the second short side, the image data being input via input terminals arranged on the first short side, output signals of the transmission interface circuit being output via output terminals arranged on the second short side; an input bus which is formed on the printed-circuit board, and which connects the connector and input terminals arranged on the first short side of the timing control circuit; and an output bus which is formed on the printed-circuit board, and which connects output terminals arranged on the second short side of the timing control circuit to the gate driver and the source driver, wherein the input bus is formed on the first short side on the printed-circuit board, and wherein the output bus is formed on the second short side on the printed-circuit board.
