A gate driver includes a first shift-register including a plurality of odd-numbered stages which outputs a plurality of odd-numbered original gate signals having a pre-charge pulse and a main-charge pulse in synchronization with a first gate clock signal, a second shift-register comprising a plurality of even-numbered stages which outputs a plurality of even-numbered original gate signals having a pre-charge pulse and a main-charge pulse in synchronization with a second gate clock signal, a first inverter configured to output a first inversion pre-charge control signal having a phase opposite to a phase of a first pre-charge control signal, and a second inverter configured to output a second inversion pre-charge control signal having a phase opposite to a phase of a second pre-charge control signal.

Gate driver, a display apparatus having the gate driver and a method of driving the display apparatus

A display apparatus includes a display panel comprising a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines, a gate driver circuit configured to generate a plurality of gate signals sequentially applied to the gate lines, and a timing controller configured to generate a reference control signal, the reference control signal adjusting at least one of a pulse-width and a phase of a predetermined gate signal among the gate signals.

Display apparatus and method of driving the display apparatus

A method of synchronizing a driving module includes applying a plurality of original data enable ('DE') signals to a plurality of timing controller of the driving module, respectively, generating a synch DE signal from the driving module based on the earliest signal among the original DE signals, and transferring the synch DE signal to the plurality of timing controllers in a cascade mode.

Method of synchronizing a driving module and display apparatus performing the method

A display apparatus including a classifier configured to classify image data into preset data of an n-bits ('n' is a natural number), a toggle counter configured to count a number of toggles based on preset data of a present horizontal line and a previous horizontal line and to calculate a final toggle number using a weighted values corresponding to a swing width between data voltages of the present and previous horizontal lines, a determiner configured to determine a representative toggle number of a present frame based on a plurality of final toggle numbers of the present frame, compare the representative toggle number with a plurality of threshold values and determine a level of a power control signal based on a compared result.

An I2C router system includes an I2C router part, a first slave device and a second slave device. The I2C router part includes a first I2C router configured to output a first I2C signal via a first I2C bus, and a second I2C router configured to output a second I2C signal via a second I2C bus. The first slave device can be configured to receive the first I2C signal via the first I2C bus. The second slave device can be configured to receive the second I2C signal via the second I2C bus.
