Display panel driving circuit
View Patent ↗A display panel driving circuit includes an input part for amplifying an input on-off signal so as to generate a first on-off voltage signal, a voltage signal generation part for generating a second on-off voltage signal which is varied in response to variations of the first on-off voltage signal, and an output part generating a push-pull output voltage as a driving voltage so as to drive a display panel in response to the first and second on-off voltages. The display panel driving circuit further includes a controlling part for controlling the voltage signal generation part so that a difference between on and off voltages of the second on-off voltage signal is not smaller than a predetermined voltage. Therefore, the push-pull output voltage whose response speed is well balanced when the push-pull output voltage increases and decreases can be generated without increasing electric power consumption and a circuit area.
