Line inversion-based mobile TFT-LCD driver IC with accurate quadruple-gamma-curve correction

Line inversion-based mobile TFT-LCD driver IC with novel quadruple-gamma-curve correction is presented. The driver IC allows for a cost-effective accurate curve correction for multiple gamma values of γ<sup>1.0</sup>, γ<sup>1.8</sup>, γ<sup>2.2</sup>, and γ<sup>2.5</sup> by adopting novel voltage-symmetric gray curve synthesis and variable reference resistor-tap biasing schemes. A test chip in a 6 V/0.7-μm triple-well CMOS process indicated a gray voltage error of ±8 mV with gray-to-gray error difference under ±3 mV.
