Abstract:
A voltage generation circuit of a display device includes an over-current detection circuit that provides a driving voltage to a voltage terminal and outputs an over-current detection signal. The over-current detection circuit includes a current detector that outputs a detection signal at a first level when a voltage corresponding to an output current flowing through the voltage terminal during a blank period, in which a blank signal is activated, is lower than a first reference level or higher than a second reference level, a glitch remover that outputs a noise detection signal when a time period in which the detection signal is maintained at the first level is longer than a reference maintenance time, and a noise filter that activates the over-current detection signal when the noise detection signal is activated at least twice during a predetermined time period.

Abstract:
A backlight unit includes a light source part, a DC/DC converter, and a light source driving circuit. The DC/DC converter receives an input voltage and provides a driving voltage to the light source part. The light source driving circuit receives an analog voltage, generates a clamping voltage on the basis of the analog voltage, and generates a main driving signal applied to the DC/DC converter on the basis of the analog voltage and the clamping voltage. The light source driving circuit decreases a duty ratio of the main driving signal when the analog voltage is equal to or lower than a reference voltage.
