Claim Text:
1. A safety driving method of a display device including a display panel with at least one conductive detection line detecting voltage variation according to damage to the display panel in a predetermined area, the method comprising: applying a reference voltage to one end of the detection line by a panel detector; receiving an output voltage corresponding to the reference voltage through the detection line from another end of the detection line by the panel detector; comparing the received output voltage with a predetermined normal voltage range to generate a detection result signal by the panel detector; and interrupting a driving of the display panel when the detection result signal indicates damage to the display panel by a controller, wherein the panel detector and the controller are included in a driving IC, the driving IC being within the display panel to operate the display panel, wherein at least a portion of the detection line extends in parallel to an edge of the driving IC, and wherein the predetermined area is an area in close proximity to the driving IC driving the display panel.
