Abstract
A thin-film transistor liquid-crystal display (TFT LCD) driver includes a shift register, a sample and hold circuit, a group block, and a controller. The shift register provides N graded sample clocks. Video signals are delivered to the group block via the sample and hold circuit through the control of the controller. The group block having n groups of N switches transfers a group of N pixel signals from the sample and hold circuit to the display. The display driver of the invention providing n.times.N output lines by using N processing units by virtue of the output distribution of the group block not only reduces circuit space, but also lowers the power consumption requirements.
