Patent ID: 8570313

Claim:
A display panel driver, comprising: first and second amplifiers; first to n-th even output nodes, n being an integer of two or more; first to n-th odd output nodes; first and second output pads connected to data lines of a display panel, respectively; first to n-th switch blocks; first to n-th even electrostatic protection resistors; and first to n-th odd electrostatic protection resistors, wherein an i-th switch block out of said first to n-th switch blocks is configured to switch connections between said first and second amplifiers and i-th even and odd electrostatic protection resistors out of said first to n-th even and odd electrostatic protection resistors, wherein said first to n-th even electrostatic protection resistors are connected between said first to n-th even output nodes and said first output pad, respectively, and wherein said first to n-th odd electrostatic protection resistors are connected between said first to n-th odd output nodes and said second output pad, respectively.
