Patent ID: 8248354

Claim:
A driving circuit for driving a display panel having a plurality of scan wirings, comprising: a plurality of output terminals to be electrically connected to the scan wirings, respectively; a scan controlling unit for selecting one or plural output terminals to output a driving signal for the scan wiring from among the plurality of output terminals; a potential correcting unit for controlling a potential of the driving signal on the basis of a difference voltage between the potential of the selected output terminal and a reference potential; and a reference potential adjusting unit for adjusting the reference potential in response to a current passing through the selected output terminal in order to correct a voltage drop caused by a member connected to the selected output terminal; wherein the reference potential adjusting unit changes adjustment of the reference potential in response to the number of the selected output terminals, and wherein the reference potential adjusting unit turns off adjustment of the reference potential in the case that the number of the selected output terminals is more than 1.
