Abstract

An exemplary gamma voltage output circuit ( 2 ) for a liquid crystal display includes a plurality of operational amplifiers ( 221 ) and a plurality of resistors (Rn 1 ˜Rn 2 ). Each of the operational amplifiers includes a high voltage input port, a low voltage input port, a non-inverting input port, an inverting input port, and an output port. The high voltage input port of each operational amplifier connects to a same electrical source, and the low voltage input port of each operational amplifier is grounded. The non-inverting input port of each operational amplifier receives a same direct-current voltage, and the output port of each operational amplifier outputs a gamma voltage configured for driving the liquid crystal display and is grounded via two respective of the resistors connected in series. A node between the two respective resistors connects to the inverting input port of the operational amplifier.
