A normal display portion, in which image display is performed by typical active-matrix drive, and a memory display portion, in which image display is performed by memory drive are provided on a substrate which defines a liquid crystal panel. Each pixel in the memory display portion is shaped so as to include a curve or a side not parallel to either gate bus lines or source bus lines. A plurality of pixel memory units, each including a flip-flop, are provided so as to correspond to their respective pixels in the memory display portion. Display data is provided to the pixel memory unit that corresponds to the first stage of a shift register which is constituted by connecting the flip-flops in the plurality of pixel memory units in series.

A liquid crystal display device includes a display panel, a parallax barrier, and a spacer. The display panel includes a display area in which an image is displayed and a display surrounding area located around the display area. The parallax barrier includes a separation area and a separation surrounding area located around the separation area. The image displayed on the display panel is separated by parallax in the separation area. The parallax barrier is attached to the display panel with a space between the separation surrounding area of the parallax barrier and the display surrounding area of the display panel. The spacer is arranged in the space. The spacer is configured to define a distance between the display surrounding area of the display panel and the separation surrounding area of the parallax barrier.

In a shift register block according to the present invention, a plurality of flip-flops F/F(1), F/F(2), . . . F/F(n) constitute a shift register SR, and each adjacent ones of these flip-flops are therebetween having a corresponding one of waveform processing circuits WR(1) through WR(n), so that the shift register SR and the waveform processing circuits WR(1) and WR(n) are linearly aligned. With such an arrangment, it is possible to reduce area occupied by a signal line driving circuit including the shift register block, thereby narrowing the frame area of a display device.

A digital/analogue converter for converting an input n-bit digital code, where n is an integer greater than one, has an n-bit digital input and an output for connection to a load, and includes: an array of (n−1) switched capacitors; and a switching arrangement. In one example embodiment, the switching arrangement is adapted, in a zeroing phase of operation, to connect a first reference voltage to the first plate of at least one capacitor of the array and to connect a second plate of the at least one capacitor to a voltage that, for at least one value of the input digital code, is different from the first reference voltage and is further adapted, in a decoding phase of operation, to enable, dependent on the value of the input digital code, injection of charge into the at least one capacitor. In one example embodiment, the converter may be a bufferless converter having an output for direct connection to a capacitive load.

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.

A data signal line drive circuit is provided with first sampling portions, and second sampling portions operated at a lower speed. By the action of selection circuits, the first sampling portions are operated during a normal display mode, and the second sampling portions are operated during a partial display mode. To ensure a correct sampling operation, one line time and a sampling interval are rendered longer during a display period of the partial display mode than during the normal display mode. During the normal display mode, both the first sampling portions and the second sampling portions may be operated. Thus, power consumption of a liquid crystal display device during the partial display is reduced.

A driver circuit for a display device includes a plurality of set-reset flip-flops and switch circuits, and is arranged so that a timing pulse for sampling outputted from the flip-flop is supplied to the switch circuit, so as to cause the switch circuit to receive a clock signal. The clock signal operates as a set signal of the next stage flip-flop and outputted as a control signal for carrying out pre-charging of a data signal line and a selected pixel connected to the data signal line, with a switch. Thus, in case of performing pre-charging of a signal supplying line with an internal pre-charging circuit by using a pre-charging power source having small driving ability, this arrangement can provide a driver circuit for a display device capable of preventing fluctuation of a signal supplied to a different signal supplying line, while keeping the circuit scale of the shift register small.

A CMOS logical circuit comprises two electric current paths each of which has circuits consisting of n-type and p-type transistors. In a circuit consisting of n-type or p-type transistors, one electric current path is provided with a circuit having the same construction as that of a circuit having an n-type transistor of a CMOS logical circuit outputting a logical operation result similar to that of this logical circuit, and the other electric current path is provided with a circuit having the same construction as that of a circuit having a p-type transistor of the CMOS logical circuit outputting a logical operation result similar to that of this logical circuit. In another circuit consisting of the other channel type, a gate electrode of the transistor provided on the one electric current path and that of the transistor provided on the other electric current path are connected to drain electrodes of the counterparts. According to the construction, the amplitude of an input signal can be made smaller than a supply voltage of the logical circuit.
