Abstract
Provided is a display device including: a display panel; a system board configured to supply a signal and a voltage required to drive the display panel; a timing controller configured to receive the signal from the system board, generate control signals required to drive the display panel, and transmit some of the control signals to the system board; and a level shifter configured to convert voltage levels of the some signal of the timing controller into a signal voltage level suitable for the system board. The level shifter includes an output voltage control terminal configured to control the level shifter not to generate an output voltage when the system board is turned off.
Claims9
A display device, comprising:
- a display panel;
- a system board connected to the display panel and including an external power input part and a power-off information transmitting part, and configured to supply a signal to the display panel and an input voltage to a power supply;
- a timing controller connected between the display panel and the system board, and configured to receive the signal from the system board, generate control signals required to drive the display panel, and transmit some of the control signals to the system board;
- and
- a level shifter connected between the timing controller and the system board, and configured to convert voltage levels of the some signal of the timing controller into a signal voltage level suitable for the system board,
- wherein when transmission of the input voltage supplied from the external power input part of the system board to the power supply is stopped to turn off the display panel by the system board, the power-off information transmitting part of the system board transmits an off state in a form of a signal to the level shifter,
- wherein the power-off information transmitting part is connected to the external power input part by a control switch circuit, and when the input voltage is turned off by the control switch circuit, a system-off information generated by the power-off information transmitting part is simultaneously turned on by the control switch circuit and then transmitted to the level shifter and
- wherein the level shifter includes an output voltage control terminal configured to control the level shifter not to generate any output voltage level suitable for the system board when the system-off information is transmitted to the level shifter.
A method for blocking a leakage current of a display device, comprising:
- providing a system board including an external power input part and a power-off information transmitting part;
- connecting the power-off information transmitting part of the system board to the external power input part of the system board by a control switch circuit;
- turning off an input voltage by the control switch circuit and stopping transmission of the input voltage to a power supply, and simultaneously turning on a system-off information of the system board by the control switch circuit;
- transmitting the system-off information to a level shifter connected between a timing controller and the system board;
- and
- controlling an output voltage control terminal of the level shifter not to generate any output voltage level suitable for the system board.
