METHOD OF DRIVING DISPLAY PANEL, DISPLAY PANEL DRIVING APPARATUS AND DISPLAY APPARATUS HAVING THE DISPLAY PANEL DRIVING APPARATUS

摘要

A method for driving a display panel comprises the steps of: outputting first line data of image data to be displayed on a display panel including gate lines and data lines; outputting gate signals to the gate lines and outputting a first line data signal based on the first line data to a data line corresponding to a first line; determining whether the first line data and second line data subsequent to the first line data are identical to each other; and, when the first line data and the second line data are identical to each other, outputting the gate signals to the gate lines, and outputting the first line data signal based on the first line data to a data line corresponding to a second line subsequent to the first line. Accordingly, power consumption of the display device can be reduced, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) attributable to data communication can be reduced.
