Abstract
Provided is a method of reducing power consumption by a display device including an encoder for receiving a stream of data, and for compressing the data, a TX rate-buffer for receiving and storing the compressed data, a PHY for receiving the compressed data, a RX rate-buffer for receiving and storing the compressed data, and a decoder for receiving the compressed data, and for decompressing the compressed data to reconstruct original data, the method including placing the PHY a SLEEP state to reduce power consumption of the PHY when the TX rate-buffer transmits a last bit of the compressed data in the TX rate-buffer to the PHY, and placing the PHY in a TRANSMIT/ACTIVE state when a fullness of the TX rate-buffer reaches a reference threshold, or a last bit of compressed data corresponding to a last pixel of a line of pixels is placed in the TX rate-buffer.
