- The present invention in general relates to a shift register and a driver circuit of liquid crystal display adopting the shift register, and more particularly, to a shift register that adopts a shift delay for each memory device, or a data conversion control system through the estimation of conversion of data storage state. The present invention further relates to a driver circuit of LCD adopting such a shift register, which can prevent instantaneous increase of electric power consumption as well as EMI (electromagnetic interference) occurrence.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- A shift register is a logic circuit having memory devices such as flip flop or latch arranged in line so as to sequentially shift input data between memory devices and stores predetermined amount of data.
- Typically, shift registers have been widely used in a digital circuitry for processing digital data in a variety of fields. Specifically, shift registers are employed for timing controllers and driver ICs to drive an LCD that has been widely used as a flat panel display device. In such a case, a shift register is used for generating a control signal or delaying data for a predetermined time period.
- A conventional shift register is configured such that data stored in the entire register can be simultaneously shifted in a direction at a rising time of clock, and data input/output is determined in accordance with a first-in first-out principle.
- In detail, as for the shift register for processing 4-bit data, data D0, D1, D2, D3 are shifted for each of memory devices sequentially from the data input initially and move in a direction, and such data shift is synchronized with a clock. In addition, outputs D0, D1, D2 and D3 are output in the same order as they are input.
- To perform such an operation, a large amount of current is required to be supplied to a logic circuit instantaneously for driving a shift register since the shift register is synchronized with clocks during such an operation and each of memory devices operates at the same time. This consumes a large amount of power instantaneously while producing EMI.
- This phenomenon is fortified when the data stored in the shift register change the state significantly. More specifically, a large amount of electric power is required when a memory device changes
logic 0 orlogic 1 so as to perform shift operation synchronized with a clock signal. The increased number of shift registers requiring the state change requires low power consumption and decreased EMI. - Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to reduce instantaneous power fluctuation caused during an operation of shift register and EMI by adjusting the timing of operation of each of memory devices arranged in line in the shift register.

Preferably, the clock signal delay unit has delay portions that delay the clock signal. The delay portions are one-to-one matched to m−1 row, m−2 row, . . 1 row memory devices. It is preferable that the delay portions output the clock signal with delay time increased in the order of m−1 row, m−2 row, . . . 1 row.
- To accomplish the above object of the present invention, there is provided a shift register including memory devices formed of an m-row×n-column matrix and shifting data synchronized with a clock signal; a first switching unit for selectively inverting n-
bit 20 data in accordance with a first switching control signal and inputting the inverted data to a first row memory device of each column that constitutes memory device; a second switching unit for selectively inverting n-bit data shifted by memory devices and output to each column of m-row in accordance with a second switching control signal and outputting the inverted data; a shift comparing unit for outputting a flag signal while outputting a first switching control signal to the first switching unit upon occurrence of change to the data stored state of memory devices arranged in the first row, by utilizing n-bit data being input to the first switching unit and the output data of the first row included in the memory devices; and a shift comparing shift register having m-numbers of memory devices arranged in line and shifting the flag signal output from the shift comparing unit to be synchronized with the shift of the memory devices and outputting a second control signal to the second switching unit. - A driver circuit of LCD according to the present invention has each unit for generating data, gradation voltage, gate voltage and column/scan control signal for driving LCD by using an image signal applied from a predetermined image supply source, and a shift register is applied to each unit for processing data.
- As a shift register constituting the above-described LCD, one of shift registers described above can be selected, and thus-selected shift register is adopted to one or more devices of a controller, or column or scan driver ICs.

shift comparing unit 60. Theshift comparing unit 60 applies, as the first switching control signal, the result of processing the input data using the logic process configured as shown in FIG. 5, to switchinglogics - To shift the flag signal, D flip flops MF0, MF1, MF2, MF3 of the counts same as those of column of matrix, constitute a column.
