Liquid crystal display having data driver and gate driver

1. A liquid crystal display, comprising:

a liquid crystal panel containing a data line;

a data driver driving said data line; and

a controller outputting N control functions for controlling a driving operation of said data driver through less than or equal to (N−1) control signal lines connected to said data driver,

wherein said controller outputs N control signal lines via (N−1) control signal lines by combining at least two control signal lines into a single control signal line corresponding to a change point of each control signal based on a predetermined logic.

2. The liquid crystal display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein less than or equal to said (N−1) control signal lines are exactly one control signal line, and said controller performs said N control functions by outputting a time series code through said control signal line.

3. The liquid crystal display as claimed in claim 2 , wherein a plurality of said data drivers are provided and are connected in a cascade fashion via said control signal line, and said time series code contains a code for designating a mode where a signal transmiffed via said control signal line directly passes between inputs and outputs of said data drivers.

4. The liquid crystal display as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said N control functions contain a data start function of designating data start timing of said data driver, a latch pulse function of designating timing when display data are stored in an internal latch of said data driver, and a polarity function of designating a polarity of said data line.

5. The liquid crystal display as claimed in claim 2 , wherein a plurality of said data drivers are provided, and less than or equal to said (N−1) control signal lines contain a control signal line connected to each of said data drivers and a control signal line connected in a cascade fashion between said data drivers.

6. A liquid crystal display, comprising:

a liquid crystal panel containing a gate line;

a gate driver driving said gate line; and

a controller outputting N control functions of controlling a driving operation of said gate driver driving said gate line through less than or equal to (N−1) control signal lines connected to said gate driver,

wherein said controller outputs N control signal lines via (N−1) control signal lines by combining at least two control signal lines into a single control signal line corresponding to a change point of each control signal based on a predetermined logic.

7. The liquid crystal display as claimed in claim 6 , wherein less than or equal to said (N−1) control signal lines are exactly one control signal line, and said controller represents a start pulse function of designating timing when a head gate line is driven and a gate clock function of designating timing when an individual gate line to be driven is sequentially shifted by a signal output to said control signal line.

8. The liquid crystal display as claimed in claim 7 , wherein said gate driver extracts said start pulse function by examining a level of a signal transmitted through said control signal line based on said signal being at a predetermined time period before said signal changes.
