Abstract: An LED controller is provided that can easily control light-on testing of LEDs. A super voltage can be added to a signal including a low voltage and a high voltage. When the super voltage is not detected, LED driving circuit is operated in normal mode. When the super voltage is detected, LED driving circuit is operated in test mode. In test mode, the LEDs are turned on by a test signal directly input to LED driving circuit instead of by light emission data sent from shifter register to storage circuit. Accordingly, light-on testing of LEDs can be carried out easily.

Abstract: An LED driving element that can perform black line insertion display without increasing the clock frequency. LED driving element 11 has first and second shift registers 34a, 34b used for controlling the light-emitting elements on one side among the light-emitting elements arranged in two adjacent rows. In the normal mode, the first and second shift registers 34a, 34b are connected in series. In the image quality improvement mode, the first or second shift register is bypassed by short circuit line 30. In the normal mode, the light emission data are moved serially through the first and second shift registers 34a, 34b. In the image quality improvement mode, the light emission data are moved in only one shift register, that is, shift register 34a or 34b, so that black line insertion can be performed in the same rewriting time per row as in the normal mode without increasing the clock frequency.
