In other words, the pixel sensing signals and the reference voltage sensing signal may be generated by being simultaneously sampled and held. Although a control signal for controlling a sampling time point is not illustrated in FIG. 2, the control signal may be provided from the timing controller 10.

The configuration of the embodiment of FIG. 3 is the same as that of FIG. 1 except that the external reference voltage Vre is provided to the drivers 20, 22 and 24, and thus, repeated description thereof will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 4, the driver 20 includes a selection circuit 40, and the selection circuit 40 is configured to select one of the external reference voltage Vre provided from the outside reference voltage and the internal reference voltage Vri and provide the selected one as a reference voltage to the reference voltage sensing circuit 32 of the sensing circuit 30.

The driver 20 of FIGS. 4 and 5 has the same structure as the driver 20 of FIG. 2 except that the driver 20 of FIGS. 4 and 5 receives the external reference voltage Vre and includes the selection circuit 40. Thus, description for the detailed configuration and operation of the driver 20 of FIGS. 4 and 5 will be omitted.

The selection circuit 40 may be understood as including a multiplexer.

The selection circuit 40 may receive a selection control signal Cs which is provided from the timing controller 10, and may select the internal reference voltage Vri or the external reference voltage Vre depending on the state of the selection control signal Cs.

Namely, for example, when the selection control signal Cs is provided as a logic high, the selection circuit 40 may select the internal reference voltage Vri and provide the internal reference voltage Vri as a reference voltage to the reference voltage sensing circuit 32 of the sensing circuit 30, as illustrated in FIG. 4. When the selection control signal Cs is provided as a logic low, the selection circuit 40 may select the external reference voltage Vre and provide the external reference voltage Vre as a reference voltage to the reference voltage sensing circuit 32 of the sensing circuit 30, as illustrated in FIG. 5.

The reference voltage sensing circuit 32 receives one of the external reference voltage Vre and the internal reference voltage Vri as a reference voltage, samples and holds the reference voltage, and outputs a reference voltage sensing signal generated by the sampling and holding.

The sampling and holding of the pixel signal sensing circuit 31 and the sampling and holding of the reference voltage of the reference voltage sensing circuit 32 are the same as those in the operation of the driver 20 of FIG. 2, and thus, repeated description will be omitted.

The operation of the output circuit 36 is also the same as that in the operation of the driver 20 of FIG. 2, and thus, repeated description will be omitted.

The embodiment of FIGS. 3 to 5 may, in order to generate reference data for correcting pixel data, select the internal reference voltage Vri or the external reference voltage Vre according to necessity. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure may be actively adapted to a system environment.

Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIGS. 6 to 8, an embodiment of the present disclosure may be configured to share an internal reference voltage generated by a master driver among a plurality of drivers with a slave driver among the plurality of drivers.

In FIG. 6, the driver 20 is set as a master driver, and the drivers 22 and 24 are set as slave drivers. Hereinafter, the driver 20 is referred to as a master driver, and the drivers 22 and 24 are referred to as slave drivers.

The embodiment of FIG. 6 is configured such that the master driver 20 provides the internal reference voltage Vri to the slave drivers 22 and 24. The embodiment of FIG. 6 is the same as that of FIG. 1 except that the master driver 20 provides the internal reference voltage Vri to the slave drivers 22 and 24, and thus, repeated description thereof will be omitted.

The master driver 20 may be configured as illustrated in FIG. 7, and each of the slave drivers 22 and 24 may be configured as illustrated in FIG. 8.

The master driver 20 of FIG. 7 is different from the driver 20 of FIG. 2 in that the master driver 20 of FIG. 7 provides the internal reference voltage Vri of the internal reference voltage generation circuit 34 to the slave drivers 22 and 24. Except for this, the master driver 20 of FIG. 7 has the same structure as the driver 20 of FIG. 2. Therefore, repeated description for the detailed configuration of the master driver 20 of FIG. 7 will be omitted.

The slave driver 22 of FIG. 8 is different from the driver 20 of FIG. 2 in that the slave driver 22 of FIG. 8 does not have the internal reference voltage generation circuit 34 and the internal reference voltage Vri of the master driver 20 is provided to the reference voltage sensing circuit 32. Except for this, the slave driver 22 of FIG. 8 has the same structure as the driver 20 of FIG. 2. Therefore, repeated description for the detailed configuration of the slave driver 22 of FIG. 8 will be omitted.

According to the embodiment of FIGS. 6 to 8, the master driver 20 generates reference data by sensing driver characteristics using the internal reference voltage Vri. Each of the slave drivers 22 and 24 generates reference data by sensing driver characteristics by using the internal reference voltage Vri of the master driver 20.

The configuration of FIGS. 6 to 8 shares the internal reference voltage Vri of the master driver 20, and thus, it is possible to solve the problem caused due to the mismatch of the internal reference voltage Vri among the drivers 20, 22 and 24.

In the configuration of FIGS. 6 to 8, each of the slave drivers 22 and 24 does not include the internal reference voltage generation circuit 34, and thus, in correspondence thereto, may have an advantage in terms of chip size.

Therefore, according to the embodiment of the present disclosure implemented as illustrated in FIGS. 6 to 8, the manufacturing cost may be reduced, and introduction of external noise may be decreased.
