A signal transmission system of a flat panel device includes an encoder, a transmitter, a receiver, and a decoder. The encoder converts a digital signal to a switch control signal. The transmitter includes 4n signal-lines for transmitting a current signal according to the switch control signal. The receiver includes 4n terminations, a plurality of terminal resistors, and a plurality of comparators. The receiver generates a group of voltage levels according to the current signal. Each comparator is coupled between any two terminations so as to generate a group of voltage differences. The decoder converts the group of voltage differences to the digital signal.

Signal transmission system of a flat panel device

A data synchronization method for a transmitter of a display device includes utilizing a plurality of first signaling line sets to couple the transmitter and a plurality of receivers in a dedicated type manner, transmitting a synchronization signal to the plurality of receivers according to a transistor-to-transistor logic signal form, transmitting a synchronization start-up signal to the plurality of receivers via the plurality of first signaling line sets a first time later after the synchronization signal is transmitted, and then transmitting a data signal to the plurality of receivers via the plurality of first signaling line sets a second time later after the synchronization start-up signal is transmitted. The synchronization signal has a longer effective time than the synchronization start-up signal.
