Claim Text:
1. A display device, comprising: a display panel; first to m-th source drivers (m is a natural integer greater than three) each including a first input terminal and a first output terminal connected to the display panel; first to n-th gate drivers (n is a natural integer greater than three); a timing controller including a first terminal and a second terminal, said first terminal being provided for outputting or inputting a first signal indicating a start point of a frame of image data to be displayed on the display panel; a first signal line connected to the first terminal of the timing controller and each of the first input terminals of the first to m-th source drivers in parallel so that the first signal is transmitted to each of the first to m-th source drivers in parallel; a second signal line connected to the second terminal of the timing controller and each of the first input terminals of the first to m-th source drivers in parallel so that the first signal is transmitted to each of the first to m-th source drivers in parallel; and a third signal line connected to the first to m-th source drivers and the timing controller for transmitting a second signal indicating a display direction of the image data, wherein said first to m-th source drivers are configured to operate according to the first signal transmitted from one of the first terminal of the timing controller and the second terminal of the timing controller selected according to the second signal, and each of said first to m-th source drivers further includes a selection unit configured to select the first signal transmitted from the first terminal of the timing controller or the second terminal of the timing controller according to the second signal.
