Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A driving circuit includes a power supply, a plurality of conductive paths and a plurality of driving controller. The power supply is configured for providing a predetermined voltage. The conductive paths are connected to the power supply to receive the predetermined voltage. The driving controllers are connected to the conductive paths correspondingly. A first driving controller of the driving controllers has a first internal circuit configured for employing an internal voltage to perform functions provided by the first driving controller, and a resistance adjustment unit. The resistance adjustment unit is connected between a special conductive path and the first internal circuit. The second driving controller has a second internal circuit configured for employing a second internal voltage to perform functions provided by the second driving controller. A resistance value of the resistance adjustment unit is adjustable to make the first internal voltage same to the second internal voltage.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A driving circuit, comprising: a power supply for providing a predetermined voltage; a plurality of conductive paths electrically connected to the power supply to receive the predetermined voltage, and the conductive paths having different resistance values; and a plurality of driving controllers, each of the driving controllers being electrically connected to one corresponding conductive path, and the driving controllers receiving same voltages supplied…
