A panel drive circuit having an input interface to which an image signal is input, a gamma correction circuit that corrects an image processing signal generated by an image processing circuit performing image processing on the image signal input to the input interface, such that a gamma correction signal thus generated has predetermined gamma characteristics, an unevenness correction circuit that corrects the gamma correction signal generated through the correction by the gamma correction circuit, based on correction data for reducing unevenness of a display panel, and an D/A convertor that has a variable output voltage range, and performs D/A conversion on an unevenness correction signal generated through the correction by the unevenness correction circuit and outputs the signal thus generated to the display panel, and the unevenness correction circuit changes the correction method according to the output voltage range of the D/A convertor.

Panel drive circuit

An input signal correction device for reducing power consumption is compatible with a variety of display panels, and includes an input circuit, extension/degeneration circuit, separation/recovery circuit and delay adjustment circuit operating at frequency f, demura circuit operating at frequency f/2, and adder circuit. The extension/degeneration circuit outputs a preprocessing signal increasing the input signal cycle length by 2 or outputs by degenerating the input signal to ½, based on a control signal, the demura circuit outputs a correction signal correcting the preprocessing signal from the extension/degeneration circuit, the separation/recovery circuit outputs a differential signal reducing the correction signal cycle length to ½ or reduces cycle length to ½ and outputs the same differential signal over two cycles, based on a control signal, the delay adjustment circuit outputs a delay signal delaying the input signal, and the adder circuit outputs a signal adding the differential signal to the delay signal.
