Liquid crystal display unit having incoming pixel data rearrangement circuit

摘要

A liquid crystal display (LCD) panel unit is provided with a plurality of source drivers which are functionally divided into first and second source driver groups respectively assigned to first and second halves of an LCD panel. In order to properly drive the LCD panel irrespective of incoming pixel data of different formats, a pixel data rearrangement circuit is provided for rearranging the incoming pixel data to a predetermined data format. The data rearrangement circuit precedes the first and second source driver groups, and functions such as to receive 2N-path (N is a natural number) pixel data and rearranges the orders of the 2N-path pixel data according to the predetermined data format, and applies the rearranged N-path pixel data to the first source driver group and applying the rearranged other N-path pixel data to the second source driver group.
