Abstract

A display driving circuit according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes: a plurality of driver circuits; a display control logic circuit that controls the plurality of driver circuits; and a first selector that selects one of a video input signal externally received and an internal operation signal from the display control logic circuit, and supplies the selected signal to each of the plurality of driver circuits.

Claims (21)

1 . A display driving circuit comprising:

a plurality of driver circuits;

a control circuit that controls the plurality of driver circuits; and

a first selector that selects one of a video input signal externally received and an internal operation signal from the control circuit, and supplies the selected signal to each of the plurality of driver circuits.

2 . The display driving circuit according to claim 1 , wherein the selector supplies the video input signal to each of the plurality of driver circuits during a normal operation, and supplies the internal operation signal from the control circuit to each of the plurality of driver circuits during a test mode.

3 . The display driving circuit according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the plurality of driver circuits comprises a latch circuit, and

the latch circuit of the plurality of driver circuits sequentially holds the internal operation signal and outputs the internal operation signal at one time, during a test mode.

4 . The display driving circuit according to claim 2 , wherein

each of the plurality of driver circuits comprises a latch circuit, and

the latch circuit of the plurality of driver circuits sequentially holds the internal operation signal and outputs the internal operation signal at one time, during the test mode.

5 . The display driving circuit according to claim 1 , further comprising a second selector that outputs part of the internal operation signal to the first selector.

6 . The display driving circuit according to claim 2 , further comprising a second selector that outputs part of the internal operation signal to the first selector.

7 . The display driving circuit according to claim 3 , further comprising a second selector that outputs part of the internal operation signal to the first selector.

8 . The display driving circuit according to claim 4 , further comprising a second selector that outputs part of the internal operation signal to the first selector.

9 . A test method for a display driving circuit comprising a plurality of driver circuits and a control circuit that controls the plurality of driver circuits, the method comprising:

supplying a video input signal externally received to each of the plurality of driver circuits through a selector, during a normal operation; and

switching the video input signal to an internal operation signal of the control circuit, and supplying the internal operation signal to each of the plurality of driver circuits through the selector, during a test mode.

10 . The test method according to claim 9 , wherein, during the test mode, the internal operation signal is sequentially held in a latch circuit provided in each of the plurality of driver circuits, and is output at one time.

11 . The test method according to claim 9 , wherein part of the internal operation signal is output to the selector.

12 . The test method according to claim 10 , wherein part of the internal operation signal is output to the selector.
