Display data driving integrated circuit
First Claim
1. A display data driving integrated circuit comprising:
- a plurality of channel driving buffer circuits to which individual bit signals of parallel display data are supplied and which, upon receiving an operation control signal, amplify the individual bit signals or perform voltage level conversion and output the resulting signals;
a plurality of control signal supply lines for supplying said operation control signal to each of a plurality of groups into which said plurality of channel driving buffer circuits are divided;
operation control signal input terminal to which said operation control signal for controlling the operation of said buffer circuits is supplied;
an operation control signal input line connected to said operation control signal input terminal; and
a phase mode control circuit for changing a timing of said supplying of said operation control signal to those of said buffer circuits which are in one group selected from said groups of said buffer circuits to change phase modes of output signals of said buffer circuits of said selected group.

Abstract
In a display data driving IC for driving a matrix display unit, switching current in a plurality of channel driving buffer circuits is suppressed, and when a multi-tone display unit is driven, the tone display quality is improved. The present invention is characterized by comprising a plurality of channel driving buffer circuits to which the individual bit signals of parallel display data are supplied and which, receiving an operation control signal, amplify the individual bit signals or perform voltage level conversion and output the resulting signals, a plurality of control signal supply lines for supplying the operation control signal to each of a plurality of groups into which the driving buffer circuits are divided, a single operation control signal input terminal to which an operation control signal for controlling the operation of the buffer circuits is supplied, and an operation control signal distribution circuit for distributing the operation control signal input to the plurality of control signal supply lines with a specific timing relationship.
