Abstract
A gate drive integrated circuit includes: clock terminals; a bidirectional buffer that is located between the clock terminals and controls the input-output direction of a clock signal; a connection mode control terminal that receives a connection mode control signal; and a pair of signal direction control terminals that receive a signal direction control signal, wherein the bidirectional buffer fixes the input-output direction of the clock signal to one direction in the case where the logic state of the connection mode control signal is a first logic state, and switches the input-output direction of the clock signal depending on the logic state of the signal direction control signal in the case where the logic state of the connection mode control signal is a second logic state different from the first logic state.
