Abstract

A data signal regulating circuit and a display device are disclosed. The data signal regulating circuit is applied to a display panel including a plurality of source driver groups, a feedback unit and an regulating unit. Any two adjacent ones of the source driver groups are provided with a data signal regulating circuit. The feedback unit is used to output a feedback signal to the regulating unit according to data signal difference between two adjacent source driver groups. The regulating unit is used to regulate the data signals output from the corresponding source driver groups according to the feedback signal.
