A gray scale signal duty ratio conversion section employs D flip-flops and AND gates so as to generate detection pulses for rises and falls of the gray scale signal T based on the gray scale signal T input from the control circuit and the clock signal CKT. Among the rise-detection pulses and fall-detection pulses, only the fall-detection pulses are delayed by the D flip-flop by one clock, and the delayed fall-detection pulses and the rise-detection pulses are input to an RS flip-flop so that the altered gray scale signal T' is obtained as an output of the RS flip-flop. The altered gray scale signal T' thus obtained is a signal whose HIGH period is longer than the input gray scale T by one clock. Thus, it is possible to compensate for the phenomenon associated with a TFT liquid crystal display device driven by the gray-scale driving method where a voltage applied to a liquid crystal capacitance may vary with the turning off of the TFT is from the voltage it was charged with. As a result, the liquid crystal material is prevented from being deteriorated, whereby the display quality and the reliability of the liquid crystal display device are improved.

A liquid crystal panel (500) is provided with a connection switching circuit (502) for connecting a video signal line driving circuit (300) to a plurality of video signal lines (Ls). The connection switching circuit (502) includes analog switches (SWi) that correspond to the video signal lines (Ls) and one side of each of the analog switches (SWi) is connected to one of the video signal lines (Ls). The video signal lines (Ls) are grouped together into groups of two video signal lines (Ls) that are spaced apart by one video signal line. The groups of video signal lines (Ls) respectively correspond to output terminals (TSj) of the video signal line driving circuit (300). The other sides of the analog switches (SWi) connected to the video signal lines (Ls) of the same group are connected to one another, and connected to one output terminal (TSj). Based on a switching control signal GS, the analog switches (SWi) connect each of the output terminals (TSj) in each horizontal scanning period by time division to the two video signal lines (Ls) of the corresponding group.

An improved row electrode driving circuit can drive a matrix type display apparatus without necessitating digital signals transmitted between partial row electrode driving circuits. Each of the partial row electrode driving circuits is allocated with a number. In each of the partial row electrode driving circuits, shift register shifts a pulse signal to sequentially output it from a plurality of outputs. At each time when a predetermined number of clock pulses have been counted, a count signal is produced. When the shift direction is set to the upper direction, a signal indicating the allocated number is produced. When the shift direction is set to the lower direction, a signal indicating a number which is obtained by subtracting the allocated number from a specified number is produced. When this number and the clock pulse count number satisfy a predetermined relationship, the pulse signal is output.

An improved column electrode driving circuit can drive a matrix type display apparatus without necessitating that digital signals be transmitted between partial column electrode driving circuits. Each of the partial column electrode driving circuits is allocated with a number. In each of the partial column electrode driving circuits, a shift register shifts a sample signal to sequentially output it from a plurality of outputs. At each time when a predetermined number of clock pulses have been counted, a count signal is produced. When the shift direction is set to the right direction, a signal indicating the allocated number is produced. When the shift direction is set to the left direction, a signal indicating a number, which is obtained by subtracting the allocated number from a specified number, is produced. When this number and the clock pulse count number satisfy a predetermined relationship, the sample signal is output.
