Abstract

A display device includes: a display panel; a main wiring board; a first wiring board that includes a first feedback line; and a first cable that is removably coupled to the main wiring board and the first wiring board. The main wiring board includes: a first output line; a first input line; a first circuit (a power supply circuit) that outputs a first voltage to the first output line; and a control circuit that is connected with the first input line. The first cable includes: a first forward conductor that directly or indirectly connects the first output line and the first feedback line; and a first return conductor that directly or indirectly connects the first input line and the first feedback line. The control circuit determines whether the first voltage is input, and when an input of the first voltage is determined, starts a display on the display panel.

Claims (61)

1. A display device, comprising:

a display panel;

a main wiring board;

a first wiring board that includes a first feedback line; and

a first cable that is removably coupled to the main wiring board and the first wiring board,

wherein the main wiring board includes

a first output line;

a first input line;

a power supply circuit that outputs a first voltage to the first output line;

a plurality of terminals; and

a control circuit that is connected with the first input line, and

wherein the first cable includes

a first forward conductor that directly or indirectly connects the first output line and the first feedback line; and

a first return conductor that directly or indirectly connects the first input line and the first feedback line, and

wherein the plurality of terminals determines whether the first voltage output from the power supply circuit is input by the first input line to the control circuit by determining whether each section of a first circuit, which includes the power supply circuit, the first output line, and the first input line, is individually operating properly by receipt of an operational status signal from each section, and

(i) when the control circuit confirms that each section of the first circuit is individually operating properly, the control circuit starts a display on the display panel, and

(ii) when the control circuit confirms that each section of the first circuit is not individually operating properly, the control circuit outputs a signal indicating an anomaly of the first circuit has occurred and does not start the display on the display panel.

2. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first forward conductor and the first return conductor are spaced apart from each other at an end portion of the first cable by at least half a width of the first cable at the end portion.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a second wiring board that includes a second feedback line; and

a second cable that is removably coupled to the main wiring board and the second wiring board,

wherein the main wiring board further includes a relay line, and

the first return conductor connects the relay line and the first feedback line, and

the second cable includes

a second forward conductor that directly or indirectly connects the relay line and the second feedback line; and

a second return conductor that directly or indirectly connects the first input line and the second feedback line.

4. The display device according to claim 3 ,

wherein the main wiring board further includes a terminal that is connected with the relay line.

5. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the main wiring board further includes

a second output line;

a second input line; and

a second circuit that outputs a second voltage to the second output line,

wherein the control circuit is connected with the second input line,

wherein the display device further includes

a third wiring board that includes a third feedback line; and

a third cable that is removably coupled to the main wiring board and the third wiring board,

wherein the third cable includes

a third forward conductor that directly or indirectly connects the second output line and the third feedback line; and

a third return conductor that directly or indirectly connects the second input line and the third feedback line, and

wherein the control circuit determines whether the second voltage is input, and when an input of the second voltage is determined, starts a display on the display panel.

6. A method for checking a display device that includes

a display panel;

a main wiring board;

a first wiring board that includes a first feedback line; and

a first cable that removably connects the main wiring board and the first wiring board,

the main wiring board including

a first output line;

a first input line;

a power supply circuit that outputs a first voltage to the first output line;

a plurality of terminals; and

a control circuit that is connected with the first input line,

the first cable including

a first forward conductor that directly or indirectly connects the first output line and the first feedback line; and

a first return conductor that directly or indirectly connects the first input line and the first feedback line,

the method comprising:

outputting the first voltage by the power supply circuit;

determining, by the plurality of terminals, whether the first voltage output by the power supply circuit is input by the first input line to the control circuit by determining whether each section of a first circuit, which includes the power supply circuit, the first output line, and the first input line, is individually operating properly by receipt of an operational status signal from each section, and

starting a display on the display panel when each section of the control circuit confirms that each section of the first circuit is individually operating properly, and

outputting a signal indicating an anomaly of the first circuit has occurred and not starting the display on the display panel when each section of the control circuit confirms that the first circuit is not individually operating properly.
