Flexible control of charge share in display panel

A source driver of a display panel, comprising:

• means for generating a first channel state signal that is at a first logic state for a time period depending on an adjustable state length data;
• means for uncoupling channel output signals from source lines of the display panel when the first channel state signal is at the first logic state;
• means for generating a second channel state signal that is at a second logic state within the time period when the first channel state signal is at the first logic state;
• and
• means for coupling together the source lines of the display panel when the second channel state signal is at the second logic state;
• wherein the first channel state signal is not at a same logic state with the second channel state signal.

A method of driving a display panel, comprising:

• inputting an adjustable state length data;
• generating a first channel state signal that is at a first logic state for a time period depending on the state length data;
• uncoupling channel output signals from source lines of the display panel when the first channel state signal is at the first logic state;
• generating a second channel state signal that is at a second logic state within the time period when the first channel state signal is at the first logic state;
• and
• coupling together the source lines of the display panel when the second channel state signal is activated at the second logic state;
• wherein the second switches are not closed simultaneously with the first switches being closed.
