Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus and method for driving a plurality of displays in a computer system. The apparatus can include a checking circuit for checking inherent control information of the displays, and an output circuit for confirming a brightness control information corresponding to the inherent control information of the checked display among preset brightness control information to output an information to control the display at a brightness of the corresponding display. A conversion circuit can supply an information to drive a corresponding display based on the output information of the output circuit.
