Patent attributes
A video display unit includes a display panel with gate drivers and source drivers. Each of the source drivers receives an encoded analog signal representing a video stream over a transmission medium and decodes the signal to produce samples for output to the display. Gate driver control signals synchronize the gate drivers with the source drivers. The source drivers are integrated with the display panel glass in part or in whole. Amplifiers and level shifters of each source driver are implemented on the panel glass and the collector and decoder are not. Or, the amplifiers, shifters and collector are implemented on the panel glass and the decoder is not. Or, the amplifiers, shifters, collector and decoder of each source driver are implemented on the panel glass. The source drivers may drive a display of a mobile device. Thin-film transistors are used to implement the source drivers on glass.
