Driving apparatus for driving display panel

A driving apparatus for driving a display panel, the driving apparatus comprising:

• a connection pad, configured to be electrically connected to a data line of the display panel;
• a selecting circuit, having a first terminal, a second terminal, and a third terminal, wherein the third terminal of the selecting circuit is coupled to the connection pad;
• a data driving circuit, having an output terminal coupled to the first terminal of the selecting circuit, wherein the data driving circuit outputs a data voltage to a pixel circuit of the display panel through the selecting circuit and the connection pad in a display stage;
• and
• a detection circuit, having an input terminal coupled to the second terminal of the selecting circuit, wherein the detection circuit provides a detection signal to a light-emitting element of the pixel circuit through the selecting circuit and the connection pad in a detection stage, and the detection circuit detects a resultant signal with respect to an electric characteristic of the light-emitting element of the pixel circuit in the detection stage.
