Abstract

A display including: pixels; a gate driver for supplying a gate signal to gate lines; a lighting test circuit coupled to a first input line (for transmitting a lighting test signal), and a second input line (for transmitting a test control signal), the light test circuit being for supplying the lighting test signal to data lines according to the test control signal; a first power supply line for supplying a gate high level voltage to the gate driver and at a periphery of the gate driver and the lighting test circuit; and a second power supply line for supplying a gate low level voltage to the gate driver and at a periphery of the gate driver and the lighting test circuit. The second input line is coupled to the first power supply line or the second power supply line through a resistor.
