在目前的研究上，液晶顯示器在整個系統的功率消耗中佔了重要的部份，且液晶顯示器匯流排的功率消耗大略佔了整個系統的10%。隨著高解析度液晶顯示器的增加，消耗在液晶顯示器上的功率也就隨著增加。而液晶顯示器的匯流排在功率消耗上也就因為這各因素而迅速的成長。在本論文中提出一個新的編碼方式，用來降低液晶顯示器匯流排的功率消耗。此種編碼方法是應用在具有資料保密功能(HDCP)的數位視訊介面上(DVI)。在具有資料保密功能的數位視訊介面上傳送影像資料時，可以保護資料不容易被外界竊取。根據實驗的結果顯示，使用所提出來的編碼方法來進行影像的傳送，可以減少23.43% 的資料傳輸變動次數並且能減少22.74% 的功率消耗。

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) consumes a significant amount of power in a computer system. Among the sources of LCD system power consumption, LCD bus contributes around 10% of the total amount. With the ever increasing of the LCD resolution, the power consumption of a LCD system increases. The power consumption of the LCD bus will also grow rapidly. In this thesis, we propose a new encoding method for the Digital Visual Interface (DVI) standard with High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP), which is used to protect the image data transmitted through the DVI interface. The experimental results indicate that the proposed encoding method reduces 23.43% of transition counts on the physical layer and 22.74% for total power consumption.
