Abstract
A display driver includes a plurality of DA conversion circuits, amplifiers, and a switch circuit. Each of the DA conversion circuits outputs a gradation reference voltage in a gradation reference voltage group generated by one of gradation reference voltage generating circuits as a gradation voltage. The amplifiers each output a voltage output a voltage obtained by amplifying each gradation voltage as an output voltage. The switch circuit receives an output voltage group output from the amplifiers and a gradation voltage group generated by the respective DA conversion circuits coupled to a specific gradation reference voltage generating circuit. The switch circuit outputs the output voltage group to the display panel when a normal display mode while outputting the gradation voltage group to the display panel when a monochromatic display mode. At this time, when the monochromatic display mode, operation of the amplifiers and each gradation reference voltage generating circuit excluding the specific gradation reference voltage generating circuit is stopped.
