  • Patent number: 11217130
    Abstract: A wiring-disconnection detecting circuit includes a low-power voltage supply, a monitoring wiring, and a wiring-disconnection determiner. The low-power voltage supply supplies a low-power voltage to a low-power voltage wiring that extends along a periphery of a display panel in a normal operating mode of the display panel and supplies a test voltage to the low-power voltage wiring in a wiring-disconnection detecting mode of the display panel. The monitoring wiring includes a first end connected to one point of the low-power voltage wiring and a second end at which a feedback voltage corresponding to the test voltage is output in the wiring-disconnection detecting mode. The wiring-disconnection determiner receives the feedback voltage from the second end, measures an RC delay of the feedback voltage, and determines that the low-power voltage wiring is disconnected when the RC delay is larger than a predetermined reference value.
