A display device and a driving board are provided. The display device includes a buffer configured to generate a applied voltage corresponding to a driving control signal; a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel configured to change a liquid crystal transmittance thereof in accordance with the applied voltage; a switcher configured to selectively provide an intermediate voltage of a predetermined level, which makes the LCD panel transmit no light, to the LCD panel; and a driving controller configured to control the switcher to block power from being supplied to the buffer and to provide the intermediate voltage to the LCD panel in response to a predetermined event occurring.
