Method and apparatus to generate control signals for display-panel driver

A control signal generation apparatus of implemented in a display-panel driver, wherein the display-panel driver needs to receive a set of predetermined number of input signals so as to output a set of required control signals, the apparatus comprising:

• a main circuit unit, for receiving a first part of the set of input signals through a plurality of input terminals;
• one of the input terminals, set as a first secondary input terminal and allowing to further input with an enabling input signal with a different definition;
• and
• a control signal generator, for receiving the enabling input signal so as to generate a second part of the set of input signals and forming a complete set of output signals together with the first part of the set of input signals, and outputting the set of control signals;
• wherein the reset process is enabled when a serial data of the input signals do not completely satisfy a predetermined format.

A method to generate control signals for a display-panel driving system, wherein a display-panel driver needs to receive a set of input signals so as to output a set of control signals, the method implemented in the display-panel driver comprising:

• receiving the set of the input signals by a plurality of input terminals of the display-panel driver;
• comparing a first signal received by a first terminal of the input terminals with a preset signal, to check whether or not a correct status to receive a second signal;
• receiving the second signal from the first terminal of the input terminals after comparing the first signal with the preset signal and verifying as the correct status;
• and
• generating a plurality of first control signals according to the second signal with a definition, wherein the first control signals is a sub-set of the set of the input signals.
