  • Patent number: 11081079
    Abstract: A display device includes an output circuit, a multiplexer, and a controller. The output circuit is configured to output a data voltage to an output pin. The multiplexer is configured to sequentially output the data voltage to different data lines according to a first multiplexing signal and a second multiplexing signal. The controller is configured to generate a control signal according to a variation of the data voltage to make the output pin output a default voltage level different from the data voltage corresponding to the data voltage.
