In a drive circuit for a display apparatus into which a digital video signal is input and in which a plurality of parallel signal electrodes are provided, one of signal voltages having different levels is output in accordance with the digital video signal, or two adjacent ones of said signal voltages are simultaneously output. Alternatively, one of the signal voltages is supplied to a signal electrode in one portion of one output period, and another one of the signal voltages is supplied to the signal electrode in another portion of the output period. The length ratio of the two portions of one output period is appropriately determined according to the digital video signal, whereby an arbitrary voltage corresponding to the video signal data can be applied to the pixel.

The horizontal synchronizing signal separation circuit extracts pulses indicative of horizontal synchronizing timing from a composite synchronizing signal which includes a horizontal synchronizing signal and a vertical synchronizing signal. When detecting the rising edge of the composite synchronizing signal, a rising edge detection circuit generates a pulse signal. A counter counts the number of the pulses in a clock signal. The output of the counter is supplied to a decoder which decodes the output of the counter and outputs timing signals. Using the timing signals, a control signal is generated to control a gate to which the output of the rising edge detection circuit is supplied. The output of the gate is used for generating a separated horizontal synchronizing signal.

A drive circuit for a display apparatus having parallel signal electrodes has at least one voltage selecting circuit, a plurality of signal voltage circuits, one selection signal circuit, and one control signal circuit. The voltage selecting circuit selects one of voltages having different levels in accordance with an input digital video signal. The signal voltage circuits are respectively provided for the signal electrodes, and include two signal lines which are disposed between the voltage selecting circuit and the respective signal electrode. Each of the two signal lines is provided with a input switch, a capacitor and an output switch. The selection signal circuit generates a signal for controlling the two input switches of one of the signal voltage circuits to alternatingly receive a selected voltage from the voltage selecting circuit. The control signal circuit controls the two output switches of the one signal voltage circuit to alternatingly output the voltages toward the respective signal electrode, in an inverted manner with respect to the control of the selection signal circuit.

In a synchronizing signal selection circuit, in response to the input of a vertical synchronizing signal extracted from a composite synchronizing signal, a control signal is generated. The control signal is in a predetermined state during a period which begins when a first predetermined time period has elapsed after the input of the vertical synchronizing signal, and which terminates when a second predetermined time period has elapsed after the input of the vertical synchronizing signal. The composite synchronizing signal is output when the control signal is in the predetermined state, and a horizontal synchronizing signal separated the composite synchronizing signal is output when the control signal is in a state other than the predetermined state.
