SOURCE DRIVER AND DISPLAY DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME

摘要

A source driver having a small layout area and low power consumption includes a signal generation block generating a plurality of pulse width modulation (PWM) signals and a plurality of staircase waveform grayscale voltage signals according to a digital code generated based on an oscillation signal and a channel driver. The channel driver divides latched video data into upper bits and lower bits, generates a plurality of switching signals using one PWM signal selected from among the plurality of PWM signals in response to the lower bits, outputs one staircase waveform grayscale voltage signal selected from among the plurality of staircase waveform grayscale voltage signals in response to the upper bits, and outputs a particular grayscale voltage level included in the one staircase waveform grayscale voltage signal in response to the plurality of switching signals.
