A driving circuit, which drives a display panel in a voltage range between a high negative voltage and a high positive voltage, includes: an electric charge discharging circuit; and a test external terminal. The electric charge discharging circuit connects a first terminal supplied with the high negative voltage to a second terminal of a ground voltage in response to a drop of a power source voltage. The test external terminal is connected to the electric charge discharging circuit. The high negative voltage is supplied to the semiconductor substrate. The electric charge discharging circuit interrupts a connection between the first terminal and the second terminal based on a control signal from the test external terminal.
