Display apparatus

A display device includes an external memory device which stores a first integrated circuit ('IC') driving information, an internal memory device which stores a second IC driving information generated by copying the first IC driving information, a buffer which receives the second IC driving information and detects an electrostatic discharge current, an error correction code calculator which determines a first error correction code of the first IC driving information and a second error correction code of the second IC driving information when the electrostatic discharge current is detected, and an error correction code comparator which compares the first error correction code and the second error correction code. The internal memory device selectively updates the second IC driving information to the first IC driving information based on a result of a comparison of the first error correction code and the second error correction code.

A polarization-dependent type directional isolator. The polarization-dependent type directional isolator comprises a pair of first optical means positioned at a path along which light travels for changing the rotation direction of an incident light depending on the traveling direction of the incident light; a pair of second optical means for rotating the incident light by a given angle; and a third optical means positioned between the pair of second optical means for passing through only specific components of the components of the incident light, thereby making it possible to obtain laser outputs oscillating in both directions independently.
