Description

Source electrode driver with image scrolling function
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of device of source electrode driver, particularly relate to a kind of device of source electrode driver, be used for the turnup image.
Background technology
A kind of LCD comprises source electrode driver, be used for storing and the transmission core processor (for example: " central processing unit (CPU) " position of the pixel value of) a image is to the character line of panel.The position of existing source electrode driver transmission pixel value is via frame memory, and it is in order to bit of storage; With impact damper, its position that has allocation index in order to buffering is to data bus (data bus), and wherein allocation index distributes pixel value to each explicit address.When vertical turnup image, the position of pixel value with several images of allocation index loads impact damper continuously by frame memory.Therefore, when vertical turnup one image, the allocation index circuit in the impact damper distributes the position of each allocation index to allocation index, then, and according to allocation index, in the vertical direction address at relocation bit place in regular turn.
The sequence of allocation index is used for vertical turnup image, and horizontal turnup image, can not redistribute the address in the horizontal direction, position of pixel value with the sequence of identical allocation index.At this, must reach some application by horizontal turnup image, similarly be screen protection (screen saver) and picture presentation (image presentation), wherein the meaning of picture presentation is to show the picture that moves through the frequentation different directions.For horizontal turnup image, central processing unit produces the position of the pixel value of new image, and the refresh frame storer, to store the position of new pixel value, makes indexed addressing method (indexingalgorithm) have no usage fully.Central processing unit must produce the position of the pixel value of an image constantly again, in order to horizontal turnup image.From the above, existing LCD is not only wasted extra energy, and the method for turnup image, too relies on central processing unit, so that usefulness is low.
Based on above-mentioned reason, need a kind of new source electrode driver, the new method of refresh frame storer is provided, be used for the turnup image, and do not need to produce again the position of the pixel value of image.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of source electrode driver, in order to the refresh frame storer, the image of turnup horizontal direction makes central processing unit not need to produce again constantly the position of pixel value by this.According to the embodiment of the invention, source electrode driver comprises: frame memory, first impact damper, second impact damper.The position of the pixel value of frame memory stores image wherein; First impact damper latchs the position of the pixel value that is come by this frame memory continuously, and it has first allocation index; Second impact damper latchs the position of the pixel value that is come by this first impact damper continuously, and it has second allocation index.Then, the position of pixel value writes this frame memory, turnup image by this.
According to the invention described above embodiment, the position of the pixel value of image originally is used for the refresh frame storer, but the position of the pixel value of image originally has different allocation indexs.When the position of pixel value during through second impact damper, second allocation index distributes the address of the position of pixel value.In case the place value of pixel writes this frame memory, then, first impact damper latchs the position of the pixel value with second allocation index, and then, the position exports digital/analog converter (digital-to-analog converter) to.On the horizontal direction of LCD screen, redistribute the address of pixel by second allocation index.Therefore, do not need to produce the position of new pixel value, more definite, by the position of replacement pixel value, reach the purpose of turnup image.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, provide a kind of in source electrode driver the method for refresh frame storer, by the constitutive requirements of the previous described source electrode driver of operation, reach the purpose of refresh frame storer.
Below will do detailed description to above-mentioned explanation and ensuing embodiment, and explain the invention provides further with an embodiment.
