Abstract:
An input signal INDATA inputted to a sender-side interface portion is encoded by an encoder, and a transmission signal generated by the encoding is transmitted to a receiver-side interface portion through two signal transmission lines. The input signal INDATA is encoded in such a manner that the logic level of the transmission signal transmitted through at least one of the two signal transmission lines is changed in any two consecutive elementary periods. The receiver-side interface portion is provided with a clock receiver, and a clock signal is generated based on the change of the transmission signals supplied from the two signal transmission lines.

The display panel includes a plurality of detecting transistors having their individual gates connected with the individual scanning lines. The plural detecting transistors have their drains commonly connected, and a detection signal indicating the logical sum of the ON states of the detecting transistors are outputted from the commonly connected drains.
Abstract:
An example control signal generating circuit CTL for controlling the writing into pixels PIX instructs a data signal line drive circuit SD2, which is for driving pixels in a non-display area, to write a voltage VB or a voltage VW which are for non-displaying, not only in the first frame but also once in a predetermined number of frames. In other words, the pixels in the display area are refreshed at intervals longer than those in the case of refreshing the pixels in each frame. Thus, even if the mobility of an active element is high and the leak current on the occasion of OFF-state is large, or even if a large amount of electric charge is accumulated because of the photoelectric effect due to the use of a backlight, it is possible to prevent unnecessary displaying on the display area, which is caused because the writing into the pixels in the display area influences on the pixels in the non-display area, and hence it is possible to improve the quality of partial displaying, while restraining the power consumption.
Abstract:
In a buffer that outputs an analog voltage Vout to be applied as a driving voltage to a pixel capacitance in a display region of an active-matrix liquid crystal display device, a CMOS circuit for generating this analog voltage includes four Pch transistors (QP0 to QP3) connected in parallel and four Nch transistors (QN0 to QN3) connected in parallel. When charging the pixel capacitance, a bias current is reduced and the driving capability is lowered by control with selector switches (SP1 to SP3) at a time at which the large driving capability at the beginning of the charging is not necessary anymore. And when discharging the charge that has accumulated at the pixel capacitance, the bias current is reduced and the driving capability is lowered by control with selector switches (SN1 to SN3) at a time at which the large driving capability at the beginning of the discharging is not necessary anymore. With this configuration, it is possible to reduce the power consumption of the output buffer applying the analog voltage for image display to the capacitive load in the display panel.

Abstract:
An instrument panel display system displays vehicle information, amenity information, and safety information as images. In this instrument panel display system, data (image data, image layout data, and image output control data) for displaying the images are generated in a shared manner by a vehicle system processor, an amenity system processor, and a safety system processor. On account of this, the stability of image display on an instrument panel of a vehicle or the like is improved and hence safety of driving is increased.
