Abstract
A source driver of a display system includes a plurality of channels, and each of the plurality of channels includes a first latch, a second latch, an output driver and a comparator. The first latch receives a first data code and a second data code from a timing controller of the display system. The second latch receives the first data code from the first latch. The output driver is used for transmitting the first data code to a display panel of the display system. The comparator, coupled to the first latch, the second latch and the output driver, is used for comparing the first data code stored in the second latch with the second data code stored in the first latch, to generate a signal indicating a power level for the output driver to transmit the second data code.
