Abstract: The present examples relate to a liquid crystal display device with a repair function. The present examples repair a defect of a line or a defect of a pixel, using a specialized data signal structure, wherein the data signal structure integrates channel data, which is required for channel driving of a liquid crystal display element, and repair amplifier data, which is used for repairing a defect of a line and/or a pixel. Thus, examples have a better repair function than an alternative liquid crystal display device.

Abstract: A column driver of a display device provides a high slew rate with lowered power requirements by using external switches connected to upper and bottom output buffers. The upper output buffer is driven between a first voltage rail and a second voltage rail, and outputs a first output signal in response to a first input signal and a second input signal. The bottom output buffer is driven between the second voltage rail and a third voltage rail, and outputs a second output signal in response to a third input signal and a fourth input signal. A first switch group selectively provides input for the upper output buffer and the bottom output buffer. A second switch group feeds back the first and the second output signals to the first or the second input terminal of each of the upper output buffer and the bottom output buffer.

Abstract: Provided are a method of driving a liquid crystal panel which prevents unintended digital image data from being displayed on a liquid crystal panel when power is provided or interrupted, and a source driver and a liquid crystal display apparatus. The source driver includes output buffers; output pads; and a switching unit which is disposed between the output buffers and the output pads and controls an electrical connection state of the output pads. If a level up or a level down of a power voltage occurs, the switching unit prevents output signals of the output buffers from being transmitted to the liquid crystal panel via corresponding output pads and performs at least one of a charge sharing operation for connecting the output pads to each other and a discharging operation for providing a discharge path from the output pads to a ground terminal, in a preset period.
