Abstract

See full text

A display driver includes: a plurality of decoders that converts a plurality of pixel data pieces representing luminance levels for pixels into gradation voltages having magnitudes corresponding to the luminance levels represented by the pixel data pieces, respectively; a plurality of amplifiers that provides a plurality of driving voltages obtained by amplifying the gradation voltages to a plurality of data lines of a display device, respectively; and a reference gradation voltage generator that generates a plurality of reference gradation voltages having respective different voltage values corresponding to gradation levels. Each of the decoders includes a short-circuiting control circuit that controls whether to short-circuit between a first line and a second line of each of the decoders.
