The present invention relates to a source driver for a display apparatus, which is capable of removing delay of a DAC (Digital-Analog Converter) and in which a part of gamma lines for providing gamma voltages to the DAC is designed to have a large width and a small resistance value. Before driving a first gamma voltage to a level corresponding to display data, the DAC can select an adjacent gamma line having a small resistance value and drive a second gamma voltage, thereby removing a delay time.

Source driver for display apparatus

The present invention discloses a source driver for a display apparatus, which drives a display panel using display data and senses a pixel signal of the display panel. The source driver may include a sensor and ADC (Analog-digital Converter) which provide the pixel sensing signal obtained by comparing a reference voltage and a pixel signal of the display panel using one buffer at a sensing period, and drive the source signal to the display panel using the buffer at a driving period.

Disclosed is a sensing circuit of a display device for external compensation of an OLED. The sensing circuit includes a current receiving unit configured to receive a pixel current containing a leakage current, convert the pixel current at a preset current ratio, and output the converted pixel current; a current source unit; a current sinking unit; a current detection unit; and a detection signal output unit configured to sample an offset voltage corresponding to the leakage current using the detected current.

Sensing circuit of display device for sensing pixel current

The present invention discloses a source driver that drives a source driver. The source driver is configured in such a manner that a source driving module for driving display data and a conversion module for converting a sensing signal of a display panel into sensing data share components thereof. Thus, the area of the source driver can be reduced.
