DRIVE CIRCUIT FOR DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DRIVING DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

Disclosed is a drive circuit for a display device, which can reduce the quantity of heat generated in a drive section, while suppressing deterioration of image qualities. The drive circuit for a display device is provided with: a source driver (6J1) which drives a display section (5); a heat generation detecting circuit (1J1), which detects the quantity of heat generated in a source driver (6J1), and outputs heat generation detection signals in the case where a detected quantity of generated heat is a predetermined reference value or more; and a heat generation reducing circuit (2J1) which changes the drive system of the display section (5) such that the quantity of heat generated in the source driver (6J1) is reduced, in the case where the heat generation detection signals are received.
