Abstract
A source driver circuit device for decreasing a gap of output errors of a plurality of driver circuits which perform a serial/parallel conversion of a video signal, comprises a plurality of sample-and-hold circuits arranged in the order for sequentially sampling levels of an input video signal; a plurality of signal output circuits for respectively generating voltage outputs corresponding to holding levels of said plurality of sample-and-hold circuits; a plurality of reference level sample-and-hold circuits each of which is provided with each predetermined number of said sample-and-hold circuits, and for sampling a reference level; a plurality of sample value output circuits for respectively generating voltage outputs corresponding to holding levels of said plurality of reference level sample-and-hold circuits; and an output error correction circuit for performing an output level correction in each of said plurality of signal output circuits on the basis of a level difference between said reference level and an average value of a plurality of outputs issued from said plurality of sample value output circuits. Therefore, it is possible to decrease the level difference between output errors among the driver circuit device.
