Abstract
The present disclosure relates to electronic displays and display components, specifically to a method of addressing more pixels with a smaller number of driver outputs while also allowing very narrow frames on three sides of a display. It further discloses a display driver integrated circuit capable of providing the signals required for the disclosed addressing method and display systems capable of being addressed by the disclosed method and display driver integrated circuit.
Claims14
An electronic display driver integrated circuit for addressing an electronic display comprising:
- a plurality of outputs, wherein each one of the plurality of outputs is capable of providing a scanning signal or data signal within each frame of addressing an image area of an electronic display;
- wherein each one of the plurality of outputs driving the image area provides the scanning signal at least once per frame;
- and
- wherein each one of the plurality of outputs not driving the image area provides the data signal.
An electronic display system comprising:
- an electronic display comprising:
- a plurality of pixels;
- a plurality of diagonally arranged electrodes;
- and
- wherein the plurality of pixels is connected by the plurality of diagonally arranged electrodes;
- an electronic display driver integrated circuit comprising:
- a plurality of outputs, wherein each one of the plurality of outputs is capable of providing a scanning signal or data signal within each frame of addressing an image area of the electronic display;
- wherein the plurality of diagonally arranged electrodes is connected to the plurality of driver outputs;
- and
- wherein each one of the plurality of outputs driving the image area provides the scanning signal at least once per frame, and each one of the plurality of outputs not driving the image area provides the data signal.
