    Abstract: A backlight unit includes a power converter which generates a light driving voltage in response to a voltage control signal with a first level, a plurality of light emitting strings, wherein each of the light emitting strings receives the light driving voltage through a first end thereof, and a controller which generates the voltage control signal. The controller is connected to a second end of at least one of the light emitting strings and detects a level of a signal at the connected second end to detect an operation state of the light emitting strings. The controller generates the voltage control signal with a second level to stop the power converter from generating the light driving voltage when the operation state of the light emitting strings is in an abnormal state.

    Abstract: A display device includes a driving controller sensing a pattern of first image signals from a source external to the driving controller and outputting a compensation selection signal corresponding to the sensed pattern. A voltage generator generates a driving power voltage in response to the compensation selection signal. The voltage generator includes a power converter generating the driving power voltage in response to a power control signal, a comparator comparing the driving power voltage with a reference voltage to output a feedback signal to a first node, and a compensation circuit including a plurality of compensation units. A selected compensation unit is connected to the first node, and a power control circuit outputs the power control signal in response to the feedback signal. The slew rate of the feedback signal may be controlled by a compensation circuit to remove a ripple component from the driving power voltage.
