Abstract

This paper describes two kind of new concept for low power consumption for small area TFT-LCDs. First, the proposed analog buffer could reduce the static current by adopting new scheme. Second, new data driver structure reduced DC power consumption by reducing the number of operational amplifier (op-amp). As simulation results of Hspice, the quiescent current of proposed analog buffer is less than $0.8{\mu}A$ and the DC power consumption is reduced about $40{\sim}50%$ compared with conventional ones.
