A display device and system are disclosed, wherein the display system is so configured that an n-fold rate increasing circuit is arranged with a signal generating device instead of with the display device to realize a low-cost n-fold rate impulse-type drive. The n-fold rate display data is output to the display device from the signal generating device, and the display device includes a circuit to subject the input n-fold rate display data to the data conversion process for the n-fold rate impulse drive. In addition to the n-fold rate display data, an identification signal for identifying the position of the turn of the frames of the original video signal is input to the display device to prevent the erroneous data conversion operation.
