A semiconductor device according to the present invention has a liquid crystal driver circuit, and when gray-scale voltage thereof is tested, the gray-scale voltage (Vx) generated in a gray-scale voltage generator circuit provided therein is compared with reference voltage (e.g., Vx+ΔV) generated for testing the gray-scale voltage and the test result is output as binarized voltage from external terminals of the semiconductor device. This can speed up the gray-scale voltage test even in the case of higher gray scale in the liquid crystal driver circuit or increased number of output terminals of the semiconductor device. Therefore, it becomes possible to reduce the time and cost required for the test.

A problem, which one of the inventions included in the present application solves, is to provide a semiconductor device that can simultaneously test a plurality of output pins by less channels of a semiconductor test equipment in number than the integrated output pins of the semiconductor device. Representative one of the inventions has such a configuration that an LCD driver, which is the semiconductor device having a function of driving a gate line of a liquid crystal display panel, comprises: an exclusive-OR circuit for inverting polarities of positive and negative voltages for driving the gate line; a tri-state type inverter circuit capable of changing and controlling, to a high-impedance state, an output circuit for driving the gate line; and at least one of test control terminals TEST for controlling the exclusive-OR circuit and the tri-state type inverter circuit. When a test is conducted, only one terminal of the gate output outputs a positive voltage VGH or negative voltage VGL and the other terminal is set to a high-impedance state, whereby the plurality of gate outputs are simultaneously tested.
