## Abstract

The present disclosure provides a panel video system controller and a liquid crystal display (LCD) device. The panel video system controller includes a timing control circuit and a video processing circuit, and the timing control circuit and the video processing circuit are integrated into a same integrated circuit. In research, data. connection between a back-end system of the LCD device such as television and the LCD panel is mainly achieved by a video processing, chip and the timing control circuit. In the present disclosure, the video processing chip in the back-end system of the LCD device and the timing control circuit in the LCD panel are integrated. On one hand, circuit integration level is increased, and assembly process is simplified. On the other hand, it is not needed to use additional data conversion interface between the back-end system of the LCD device and the LCD panel, thereby reducing the product development cycle, development cost, and assembly process.
