Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a driving circuit of a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel, an LCD panel, and an LCD device. The driving circuit of the LCD panel includes a compensation unit coupled with a scan line of the LCD panel and outputting N different driving voltages to different gate driver chips on a side of the panel. N is equal to a number of the gate driver chips arranged on the side of the LCD panel, as distance from the driving source of the driving voltages to the gate driver chip increases, absolute value of the driving voltage outputted by the compensation unit increases.
