Patent ID: 8330690

Claim:
A gamma control circuit comprising: a first gray-scale voltage selection unit for selecting and outputting a highest gray-scale voltage and a lowest gray-scale voltage from among a plurality of first voltages present between a first supply voltage and a second supply voltage; a second gray-scale voltage selection unit receiving the highest and the lowest gray-scale voltages, and selecting and outputting a first intermediate voltage and a second intermediate voltage from among a plurality of second voltages present between the highest and the lowest gray-scale voltages; a third gray-scale voltage selection unit receiving the highest and the lowest gray-scale voltages and receiving the first and second intermediate voltages, and generating a plurality of reference voltages based on the received voltages; and a gray-scale voltage generation unit receiving the highest and lowest gray-scale voltages and receiving the plurality of reference voltages, and outputting a plurality of gray-scale voltages based on the received voltages, wherein the selecting from among the plurality of first voltages and the selecting from among the plurality of second voltages are from respective resistor arrays without adjusting an amount of resistors of the respective resistor arrays to be connected by switching switches coupled to the resistors on/off.
