A flat panel display is provided in which a controller generates gamma
data digitized for each gradation and transmits the same to column driver
Ics, which then generate gradation voltage by using gamma data and output
column signals. Here, the gamma data can be transmitted in TTL system or
differential signal transmission system.Thus, the number of transmission
lines can be reduced since column driver ICs generate the gradation
voltage by utilizing gamma data produced from the controller and output a
column signal. As a consequence, a control board can be configured in an
easy manner while at the same time reducing manufacturing costs. Further,
a high precision image representation, low power consumption, and high
speed data transmission can be obtained while at the same time
eliminating EMI trouble.
