System and method for handling image data transfer in a display driver

A method for handling image data transfer in a display driver, comprising:

• assembling a stream of digital data including image data and synchronization information inserted between the image data;
• and
• transmitting the stream of digital data along with a timing signal having a first voltage level and a second voltage level;
• wherein the first voltage level timely overlaps with a first portion of the stream of digital data carrying the synchronization information, and the second voltage level substantially overlaps with a second portion of the stream of digital data carrying encoded image data.

A display system comprising:

• a display panel;
• and
• a driving system comprising a timing controller, a scan driver and a data driver, wherein
• the timing controller is configured to:
• assemble a stream of digital data including image data and synchronization information inserted between the image data;
• and
• transmit the stream of digital data along with a timing signal having a first voltage level and a second voltage level;
• wherein the first voltage level timely overlaps with a first portion of the stream of digital data carrying the synchronization information, and the second voltage level substantially overlaps with a second portion of the stream of digital data carrying encoded image data;
• and
• the data driver is configured to:
• receive the stream of digital data including a plurality of successive data packets;
• in response to the timing signal, extract the synchronizing signal from synchronization information embedded in the stream of digital data;
• and
• according to the synchronizing signal, generate a clock signal for retrieving image data from one of the data packets in the stream of digital data.
