Abstract
Abstract A driving method for a flat panel display apparatus and a flat panel display apparatus for executing the driving method therefor, in which the order of display data allotted to one driving integrated circuit is changed at every half the number so as to supply the display data to the driving integrated circuit, whereby output terminals of each film carrier are arranged approximately perpendicular to the side on which input terminals of the driving integrated circuit are arranged. Accordingly, the film carrier is reducible in width in comparison with the conventional one, thereby enabling the entire apparatus to be small-sized, resulting in that a display panel of smaller pitch between the picture elements can be driven by the apparatus of the invention.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
91 words
A driving method for a flat panel display apparatus which sequentially supplies a plurality of display data to driving integrated circuits so as to output said display data from said driving integrated circuits to the electrodes of a display panel, characterized by that said plurality of display data allotted to each of said driving integrated circuits are divided into halves former and latter, and the former and the latter parts thereof are exchanged with each other, then the exchanged display data are supplied to said driving integrated circuit in regular order.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
91 words
A driving method for a flat panel display apparatus which sequentially supplies a plurality of display data to driving integrated circuits so as to output said display data from said driving integrated circuits to the electrodes of a display panel, characterized by that said plurality of display data allotted to each of said driving integrated circuits are divided into halves former and latter, and the former and the latter parts thereof are exchanged with each other, then the exchanged display data are supplied to said driving integrated circuit in regular order.
