Abstract
An interface circuit includes a plurality of receivers, a multiplexer, a plurality of shift registers and a latch circuit. Each of the receivers receives one of a plurality of sub-pixel values in one time period. The multiplexer multiplexes the sub-pixel values received by the receivers. The shift registers corresponds to the receivers, and each of the shift registers temporarily stores at least one of the multiplexed sub-pixel values. The latch circuit receives the sub-pixel values temporarily stored in the shift registers according to a shift register signal. Under a selection mode, a number of the receivers are turned on to receive the sub-pixel values and the rest of the receivers are turned off. A method for transmitting data through an interface circuit is also disclosed herein.
