Abstract
Provided is a display device including a plurality of light sources configured to be driven by a driving voltage, turned on during an on section, and turned off during an off section, a display panel configured to display an image by using light outputted from the light sources, a voltage converter connected to the light sources and configured to generate the driving voltage, and a backlight control circuit including a light source driving circuit and a voltage drop circuit. The light source driving circuit includes a pulse generator including a control input terminal configured to receive a first voltage during the on section and receive a second voltage during the off section and output a control pulse signal to control a level of the driving voltage based on a voltage applied to the control input terminal. The voltage drop circuit applies the second voltage to the control input terminal during the off section. The second voltage is smaller than the first voltage.
