Abstract
A driver circuit includes a mode control unit and a plurality of source drivers to drive a display panel including N pixel cells on each scan line. Each source driver has M driving channels, and a first subset of the driving channels and a second subset of the driving channels are respectively in a first mode and a second mode according to a preset mode sequence, wherein M≧N. The 1through Ndriving channels of a first source driver and the Mthrough (M−N+1)driving channels of a second source driver respectively drive the 1through Npixel cells during a first scan period and a second scan period. The modes of the Mthrough 1driving channels of the second source driver are respectively altered to match the modes of the 1through Mdriving channels of the first source driver by the mode control unit.
