Method and apparatus of handling signal transmission applicable to display system

A timing controller applicable to a display system, couplable to at least one source driver of the display system via a plurality of mini low voltage differential signaling (mini-LVDS) channels, comprising:

• a first mini-LVDS transmitter, for transmitting a reset signal to each of the at least one source driver via a first mini-LVDS channel among the plurality of mini-LVDS channels;
• a control signal generator, for generating a first control signal for setting the at least one source driver;
• and
• a second mini-LVDS transmitter, coupled to the control signal generator, for transmitting the first control signal to each of the at least one source driver via a second mini-LVDS channel among the plurality of mini-LVDS channels when the first mini-LVDS transmitter transmits the reset signal via the first mini-LVDS channel;
• wherein the reset signal is embedded in a data signal transmitted on one of one or more data channels among the plurality of mini-LVDS channels, and the first control signal is embedded in another data signal transmitted on another one of the one or more data channels among the plurality of mini-LVDS channels.

A source driver applicable to a display system, couplable to a timing controller of the display system via a plurality of mini low voltage differential signaling (mini-LVDS) channels, comprising:

• a first mini-LVDS receiver, for receiving a reset signal from the timing controller via a first mini-LVDS channel among the plurality of mini-LVDS channels;
• a second mini-LVDS receiver, for receiving a first control signal for setting the source driver from the timing controller via a second mini-LVDS channel among the plurality of mini-LVDS channels when the first mini-LVDS receiver receives the reset signal via the first mini-LVDS channel;
• and
• a control signal receiver, coupled to the second mini-LVDS receiver, for receiving the first control signal from the second mini-LVDS receiver;
• wherein the reset signal is embedded in a data signal transmitted on one of one or more data channels among the plurality of mini-LVDS channels, and the first control signal is embedded in another data signal transmitted on another one of the one or more data channels among the plurality of mini-LVDS channels.
