— As the panel size and the frame frequency of TFT‐LCDs increases, driving issues become much more important for larger‐sized and higher‐resolution TFT‐LCDs. In our previous paper, the pre‐emphasis driving method was proposed to shorten the driving time of the data line with heavy loads of the large‐sized TFT‐LCDs. This paper proposes a simulation model based on the evaluation results of the developed pre‐emphasis source driver, and the issues of driving the data line with heavy loads are reviewed. The single‐, pre‐emphasis, and dual‐driving methods are compared in terms of their driving time and power consumption for large‐sized TFT‐LCDs with various resistances and capacitances of the data lines. At a panel load of 250‐pF capacitance and 15‐kΩ resistance in full‐HD resolution, the pre‐emphasis driving can reduce the pixel driving time to 66% with a 54% increase in the analog power consumption.
