A source driver includes a digital-to-analog converter configured to receive a data signal, convert the received data signal into an analog signal, and output the analog signal, an output unit including amplifiers configured to amplify the analog signal, a control signal provision unit configured to output at least one control signal based on or in response to a first bias signal, at least one level shifter configured to shift a level of the control signal(s) based on or in response to a second bias signal having a higher voltage than the first bias signal and output at least one level-shifted control signal, and a protector configured to detect a voltage of the first bias signal and turn off the amplifiers and the level shifter when the detected voltage of the first bias signal is less than a predetermined reference voltage.
