Abstract
A driving method is to be implemented by a driver module, is adapted to drive a scan-type display, and includes steps of: receiving an image stream and a synchronization control (SC) signal from a control module; generating a drive output based on the SC signal, the image stream and a clock signal to drive the display such that the display emits light in a line scan manner; and generating an image refresh signal based on the SC signal and the drive output. The image refresh signal is related to refreshing of images on the display.
Claims12
A driving method to be implemented by a driver module and adapted to drive a scan-type display that includes a backlight module and a display module, said driving method comprising steps of:
- (A) receiving an image stream from a control module;
- (B) receiving a synchronization control signal from the control module;
- (C) generating a first drive output based on the synchronization control signal, the image stream and a clock signal and outputting the first drive output to the backlight module, such that the backlight module emits light in a line scan manner;
- and
- (D) generating an image refresh signal based on the synchronization control signal and the first drive output, the image refresh signal being related to refreshing of images on the scan-type display.
A driving device adapted to drive a scan-type display that includes a backlight module and a display module, said driving device comprising:
- a control module generating an image stream and a synchronization control signal;
- and
- a driver module adapted to be coupled to the backlight module and the display module, and further coupled to said control module to receive the image stream and the synchronization control signal therefrom;
- said driver module generating a first drive output based on the synchronization control signal, the image stream and a clock signal and outputting the first drive output to the backlight module, such that the backlight module emits light in a line scan manner;
- said driver module generating an image refresh signal based on the synchronization control signal and the first drive output, the image refresh signal being related to refreshing of images on the scan-type display.
