Abstract
The present invention in one aspect relates to a source driver for driving a display panel to display an image data in an adaptive column inversion. In one embodiment, the source driver includes a data processing unit having a logic circuit adapted for determining N most-significant bits (MSBs) of image data signals of two neighboring data lines, such that when all of the N MSBs are equal to 1 or 0, the output of the logic circuit is 1, otherwise, the output of the logic circuit is 0, and a MUX coupled to the data processing unit and adapted for receiving a frame polarity control signal, FramePOL, and a pixel polarity control signal, XPOL, and selectively outputting the frame polarity control signal FramePOL when the output of the logic circuit is 1, or the pixel polarity control signal POL when the output of the logic circuit is 0, as a polarity control signal, POL.
