  • Patent number: 11580915
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a data driving circuit and a display device. In the process of a display device converting an image data received from an outside into a data signal supplied to a data driving circuit, a final color temperature target represented by the image is variably set based on a panel driving current, so that the power consumption of a display panel displaying an image can be minimized. In addition, since the final color temperature target is varied, the luminance of the image and the user's recognition level are maintained constant, thereby improving the efficiency of the display device.
