Abstract

A source driver circuit of an LCD apparatus with a small occupied area and low power consumption is disclosed. The source driver circuit comprises a reference voltage circuit, a negative voltage driving DAC, a positive voltage driving DAC, an invert amplifier, a non-invert amplifier and a voltage selector. The reference voltage circuit generates a reference voltage. The negative voltage driving DAC divides the display data into negative gradation voltages. The positive voltage driving DAC divides the display data into positive gradation voltages. The invert amplifier works as an analogue buffer for the negative gradation voltages for driving the LCD apparatus and the non-invert amplifier works as an analogue buffer for the positive gradation voltages for driving the LCD apparatus. The voltage selector provides the reference voltage to the positive and negative voltage driving DACs.

Claims (15)

1. A source driver circuit of an LCD apparatus, comprising:

a reference voltage circuit, generating a reference voltage;

a negative voltage driving DAC, dividing display data into negative gradation voltages;

a positive voltage driving DAC, dividing the display data into positive gradation voltages;

an invert amplifier, providing the negative gradation voltages for driving the LCD apparatus;

a non-invert amplifier, providing the positive gradation voltages for driving the LCD apparatus; and

a voltage selector, selectively providing the reference voltage from the reference voltage circuit for the positive voltage driving DAC and the negative voltage driving DAC.

2. The source driver circuit according to claim 1 , further comprising a select switch, coupled to the positive voltage driving DAC, the negative voltage driving DAC and the voltage selector.

3. The source driver circuit according to claim 2 , wherein the select switch can alternately switch the reference voltage from the voltage selector outputted to the positive voltage driving DAC and the negative voltage driving DAC.

4. The source driver circuit according to claim 3 , wherein the LCD apparatus having the source driver circuit is applied in an electronic device.

5. The source driver circuit according to claim 4 , wherein the electronic device is selected from a cellular phone, a digital camera, a Personal Digital Assistant, a media display in car, a display for airplane, a digital frame and a portable DVD player.

6. The source driver circuit according to claim 2 , wherein the LCD apparatus having the source driver circuit is applied in an electronic device.

7. The source driver circuit according to claim 6 , wherein the electronic device is selected from a cellular phone, a digital camera, a Personal Digital Assistant, a media display in car, a display for airplane, a digital frame and a portable DVD player.

8. The source driver circuit according to claim 1 , wherein the LCD apparatus having the source driver circuit is applied in an electronic device.

9. The source driver circuit according to claim 8 , wherein the electronic device is selected from a cellular phone, a digital camera, a Personal Digital Assistant, a media display in car, a display for airplane, a digital frame and a portable DVD player.
