Abstract
In electronic displays, sending image data across a pixel data bus to the source latches consumes energy, particularly as the number of columns of pixels of the electronic display increases. To reduce the amount of energy consumed by the pixel data bus, slices of the pixel data bus may be gated to correspond to which source latches are being loaded. For instance, a first set of source latches corresponding to a first slice of the pixel data bus may be loaded with data while downstream slices of the pixel data bus may be gated to save energy. To reduce the peak energy consumed by the pixel data bus, the pixel data bus may be divided into two parts that are loaded from opposite sides. Thus, the total number of gated slices may remain stable throughout the loading process.
