ABSTRACT
A novel charge recycler without any external capacitor for TFT-LCD source driver IC is proposed. Instead of grouping the adjacent source lines, the source lines of same color property for adjacent two sub-pixels are grouped to perform charge-recycling based on the color image properties of space correlation, time correlation and the dot-inversion driving principle. The power saving efficiency of proposed charge recycler is improved especially for the non-uniform color pattern compared with the previous method, and a power saving efficiency of 50% can be obtained theoretically. The HSPICE simulation results show that, for a typical non-uniform color pattern (R=0, G=127, B=255) the power saving efficiencies of the proposed method and the previous method are 49% and 25%, respectively. Considering the compressed row scan time, the proposed charge recycler is applicable for TFT-LCD applications with UXGA and higher resolution.
