A semiconductor device includes a multiplexer and an output buffer. The multiplexer includes: n switches (n is an integer of 2 or greater) each including an input node receiving a different data signal and an output node coupled to an input node of the output buffer; and a plurality of switch control circuits each corresponding to a respective one of the n switches. Each of the plurality of switch control circuits turns on a corresponding one of the n switches based on a corresponding one of the signals each having a first cycle and a phase different by 1/n of the cycle from adjacent phases. When each of the plurality of switch control circuits detects that an input-side data signal of the corresponding one of the n switches appears at a corresponding output-side node, each of the plurality of switch control circuits turns off the corresponding switch. The multiplexer converts data, which is inputted in parallel to the n switches and which changes in the first cycle, into serial data that changes in 1/n of the first cycle and outputs the serial data via the output buffer.

A method for operating a vehicle display includes receiving from a user interface a request to modify a display screen of the vehicle display. In response to the received request to modify, the method can further include displaying a query on the display screen prompting an operator to choose a portion of the display screen that is to be modified. The method can further include receiving an input selection corresponding to a chosen portion of the display screen to be modified. The input selection can be received from the user interface into a control unit in communication with the vehicle display, which is in communication with the control unit. In response to the received input selection, the method can further include displaying an image on the chosen portion of the display screen in accordance with the received request to modify the display screen. A vehicle display system is also provided.
