Abstract
A gamma voltage generating circuit includes a gamma buffer configured to output a gamma voltage, a first gamma line and a second gamma line providing an output path of the gamma voltage, an output selecting unit configured to connect an output terminal of the gamma buffer to one of the first gamma line and the second gamma line, and an output resistor unit having a first resistor connected to the first gamma line and a second resistor connected to the second gamma line. The second resistor has a resistance value different from that of the first resistor.
