Abstract
A data transfer method transfers data to an information-side driver for driving a display apparatus. Wherein, driver circuits each comprise chip address/video data discrimination circuit and a unit driver are mounted around the display apparatus. A unique chip address is set for each of the unit drivers by a hardware pattern. Data exchange with the driver circuits is performed so that chip address information and video data information are time-divisionally transferred to the target unit driver using a chip address/video data common bus line and a chip address/video data discrimination control signal.
