Abstract

Disclosed are an overvoltage protection circuit, a display panel and a display. The overvoltage protection circuit includes an overvoltage detection circuit and an overvoltage count circuit. The overvoltage detection circuit connected to a power supply and the overvoltage count circuit detects a power supply voltage output by the power supply and output an overvoltage signal to the overvoltage count circuit when the power supply voltage is in an overvoltage state. The overvoltage count circuit connected to a switching element outputs a cutoff signal to the switching element when accumulated times for receiving overvoltage signals reach preset times, to control the switching element to disconnect the power supply from the power management integrated circuit.
