Abstract: In the present invention, output circuits are connected to respective external terminals. Each output circuit includes an operational amplifier that outputs a current to one external terminal until a voltage of the external terminal becomes equal to a gradation voltage received by an input terminal thereof, and a disconnection detection circuit that detects whether a wiring connected to the one external terminal is disconnected or not. The disconnection detection circuit supplies a test voltage instead of the gradation voltage to the input terminal of the operational amplifier in a non-display period and measures a time period taken from then until the voltage of the one external terminal exceeds a reference voltage as a rise time. The disconnection detection circuit detects whether the wiring connected to the one external terminal is disconnected or not based on the rise time measured in one frame and the rise time measured in another frame.

Abstract: A display device which can suppress erroneous display of a display panel is provided. A source driver receives a serial data signal in which a preamble and video data of the display panel are alternately continuous via an interface from a display controller. The source driver controls timing of supply of a gate signal from a gate driver based on the video data included in the serial data signal, and supplies a gradation voltage signal which corresponds to the video data to a plurality of data lines of the display panel. The source driver has a detection portion which detects that the interface is in an unstable state, and a gate reset signal output portion which outputs a gate reset signal for stopping an operation of the gate driver when the unstable state of the interface is detected at the time of the supply of the video data.

A selector selectively outputs the second start pulse signal or the detection result signal on the basis of the timing signal.

Abstract: When an amplifier supplies to a drive line a driving signal based on an input voltage corresponding to a data value indicated by input data, and feeds to an output line a current corresponding to a voltage value on the drive line, the amplifier precharges the drive line at start of increase or decrease of the input voltage. Furthermore, the amplifier stops the precharge when the data value indicated by the input data is smaller than a reference value, or when a difference between a data value at present and a data value immediately therebefore in a series of data values indicated by the input data is smaller than a reference difference value.
