Patent ID: 8866723

Claim:
A display device comprising: a display panel; a data driver that supplies a data signal to the display panel; a gate driver that supplies a gate signal to the display panel; and a timing driver including: a memory unit, a voltage controlled oscillator directly connected to the memory unit via first to N control lines, wherein a frequency output by the voltage controlled oscillator is set based on a total number of control signals output on the N control lines and not based on a single control line, a controller that generates a driving signal by using the frequency supplied from the voltage controlled oscillator so as to control the data driver and the gate driver, and a frequency converter that controls the voltage controlled oscillator by using the control signals output from the memory unit included in the timing driver, wherein the frequency converter comprises: a decoder unit that converts N number of control signals output from the memory unit into 2N number of control signals; and a combining unit that combines the 2N number of control signals output from the decoder unit, and supplies the 2N number of control signals output from the decoder unit to the voltage controlled oscillator.
