PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a display device capable of detecting an abnormality accompanying a current rise causing non-operation of a protection circuit.
SOLUTION: A display device 100 including a display circuit driven by power from a power supply circuit 102 comprises: a current measuring circuit 103 which measures a supply current to the display circuit; a pattern generating unit 104 which generates a prescribed pattern that is display-processed by the display circuit; a current value storing unit 106 which stores in advance the measurement current value measured by the current measuring circuit as a reference current value when the display circuit display-processes the prescribed pattern generated by the pattern generating unit 104; and a determination control unit 105 which determines whether the display circuit is abnormal. The determination control unit 105 causes the display circuit to display-process the prescribed pattern generated by the pattern generating unit 104, and determines whether the display circuit is abnormal on the basis of the measurement current value measured by the current measuring circuit 103 and the reference current value.
