Abstract
A method of dynamic bias control of a source driver bases on data wing level for power-saving. In order to cover the operating conditions of various loads under normal operations, the output buffer circuit operation is biased. The method utilizes the display gray scale difference between a previous data line and an immediately subsequent data line to determine the bias current to be used for the output buffer. When the difference between the current data line display gray scale and the previous data line display gray scale is not large, the bias current of the output buffer can be reduced. When the difference between the current data line display gray scale and the previous data line display gray scale is large, the bias current of the output buffer is increased and the current of the output buffer is adjusted according to different load conditions to save power.
