Fig. 2 is the time schedule controller of sequence transmission of the present invention and the connection diagram between a plurality of source driving chip.As shown in Figure 2, time schedule controller 21 of the present invention changes into sequence (serial) with data bus signal from (parallel) arranged side by side, therefore 21 of time schedule controllers of the present invention need 2 control signal wires of output to each source driver chip 220~229, and only export 3 signal wires respectively to each source driver chip 220~229.So the connecting line between time schedule controller chip of the present invention and each source driver chip greatly reduces, can reduce the degree of difficulty of printed circuit board (PCB) (PCB) layout, and also the flaggy number of printed circuit board (PCB) is kept to 2 layers by 4 layers.Not only lowered manufacturing cost, also lowered power consumption and lower EMI.And this framework also is applicable to glass substrate chip (Chip on glass, COG) packing on the large size panel.With this embodiment, time schedule controller chip signal output to 10 source driver chip, though the total output signal line of this time schedule controller 21 increases to 32, but the signal wire that is connected to indivedual source driver chip 220~229 only needs 5, significantly reduces the degree of difficulty of printed circuit board layout.Certainly, the channel (channel) that the quantity of source driver chip is looked source electrode driver to be provided is adjusted with panel resolution, can be one or more.
Fig. 3 is the Organization Chart of time schedule controller of the present invention.As shown in the drawing, time schedule controller 21 of the present invention comprises a Low Voltage Differential Signal (LVDS) receiver 31, a data-reading unit 32, frame rate control (Framerate control, FRC) logical block 33 and a Date Conversion Unit 34.In the sequence controller 21, the framework of LVDS receiver 31, data-reading unit 32, FRC logical block 33 is identical with known time schedule controller with function, no longer repeat specification at this moment.Time schedule controller 21 of the present invention is to use Date Conversion Unit 34 to convert pixel data and control signal to sequence signal with the main difference of known time schedule controller, and is sent to each source driver chip 220~229 respectively.
