Abstract:
An occupying area of a digital system signal line driver circuit in an image display device is large and this hinders the miniaturization of the display device. A memory circuit and a D/A converter circuit in the signal line driver circuit are commonly used for n (“n” is a natural number equal to or larger than 2) signal lines. One horizontal scanning period is divided into n periods and the memory circuit and the D/A converter circuit each perform processing for different signal lines during each of the divided periods. Thus, all the signal lines can be driven. Therefore, the number of memory circuits and the number of D/A converter circuits in the signal line driver circuit can be reduced to one n-th in a conventional case.
