A display device is provided with a shift register having a plurality of bistable circuits, each of the bistable circuits being connected to a corresponding scanning line. An RS flip-flop circuit provided in each of the bistable circuits functions as a memory portion for discriminating a start position of a display region for partial display. When partial display is carried out, first, only the RS flip-flop circuit corresponding to the start position of the display region is put into the set state, that is, only the bistable circuit corresponding to the start position of the display region is put into the set state. Moreover, the scanning lines that are connected to the bistable circuits from the start position to the end position are driven sequentially. During this, only the bistable circuit corresponding to the start position is kept in the set state, and the other bistable circuits are kept in the reset state.

An example control signal generating circuit CTL for controlling the writing into pixels PIX instructs a data signal line drive circuit SD2, which is for driving pixels in a non-display area, to write a voltage VB or a voltage VW which are for non-displaying, not only in the first frame but also once in a predetermined number of frames. In other words, the pixels in the display area are refreshed at intervals longer than those in the case of refreshing the pixels in each frame. Thus, even if the mobility of an active element is high and the leak current on the occasion of OFF-state is large, or even if a large amount of electric charge is accumulated because of the photoelectric effect due to the use of a backlight, it is possible to prevent unnecessary displaying on the display area, which is caused because the writing into the pixels in the display area influences on the pixels in the non-display area, and hence it is possible to improve the quality of partial displaying, while restraining the power consumption.

By reducing the potential drop of a storage node that occurs due to feedthrough, the capacitance of a storage capacitor is reduced and sensor sensitivity is improved. In a photosensor, the first terminal of a storage capacitor (C2) and the gate of a MOS transistor (M1), which outputs a signal in accordance with the potential of a storage node (N2), are connected to the storage node (N2). A forward biased pulse voltage is supplied to the anode of a first photodiode (DS) in a reset period, and a reverse biased voltage is supplied to the anode of the first photodiode in a storage period and a readout period. A reverse biased voltage is supplied to the anode of a second photodiode (DM) in all operation periods. A voltage that keeps the potential of the storage node lower than the threshold value of the MOS transistor (M1) is supplied to the second terminal of the storage capacitor in the reset period and the storage period, and a voltage that thrusts the potential of the storage node (N2) upward to the threshold value of the MOS transistor (M1) or higher is supplied to the second terminal of the storage capacitor in the readout period.

A plurality of sensor circuits each including an optical sensor and a charge retention transistor each provided between a reset line and an accumulation node are arranged in a pixel region of a display device. In a sensing period, a LOW-level voltage is applied as a reset cancellation voltage to the reset line RSTa, and a HIGH-level voltage is applied to a control line CLKa to control the charge retention transistor to be in an ON state. In a period other than the sensing period, the LOW-level voltage is applied to the control line CLKa to control the charge retention transistor to be in an OFF state, and the HIGH-level voltage is applied as a retention voltage to the reset line RSTa. Thus, a drain-source voltage Vds of the charge retention transistor is lowered, a leakage current through the charge retention transistor is reduced, and a light detection accuracy is enhanced. A substantially middle voltage between a reset voltage and a voltage at an accumulation node at the sensing of a maximum amount of light may be used as the retention voltage.

A liquid crystal display apparatus (1) wherein the shift registers of a source driver (4) are configured by use of asynchronous RS flip-flops in which an active input to a set input terminal has a higher priority than an active input to a reset terminal. In a second mode of operation, first and second clock signals and a start pulse are fixed at high levels, thereby performing discharges from all the pixels (PIX) of a liquid crystal panel (2).
