LOW POWER INVERSION SCHEME WITH MINIMIZED NUMBER OF OUTPUT TRANSITIONS
First Claim
1. A display comprising:
- a liquid crystal display panel including an array of pixels formed into a plurality of odd rows, a plurality of even rows, a plurality of odd columns, and a plurality of even columns;
a column driver coupled to the liquid crystal display panel and configured to drive a plurality of output signals to the plurality of odd columns of the array of pixels; and
a timing controller configured to transmit a first column driver control signal to the column driver, wherein the column driver is configured to generate a first output signal of the plurality of output signals based on the column driver control signal such that the first output signal is driven to a first voltage as the first output signal is transmitted to the plurality of odd rows of the plurality of odd columns of the array of pixels and subsequently the first output signal is driven to a second voltage opposite in polarity of the first voltage as the first output signal is transmitted to the plurality of even rows of the plurality of odd columns of the array of pixels.

Abstract
A method and system for an inversion driving scheme for pixels in a display. Column drivers may drive first voltages to columns of a pixel array in a display during a first period of a frame and drive inverses of the first voltages to columns of the pixel array during a second period of a frame. Row drivers may alternately drive even and odd rows during the first and seconds periods. Additionally, data for display on the display may be arranged such that data is transmitted to the odd and even rows of pixels in conjunction with the alternate activation of the rows and columns. This data rearrangement may be accomplished through the use of a graphics processing unit or local frame buffer coupled with a timing controller.
