Abstract:
1. An electro-optical device comprising: pixel respectively provided corresponding to the intersections of a scanning lines and a data line and having gray scale according to a data signal supplied to the data line when the scanning line has been selected; a scanning line driving circuit which selects the scanning line; and a data line driving circuit which supplies a data signal according to the gray scale of the pixel to the data line when the scanning line has been selected for image data writing, and supplies a data signal making the pixel a black color to the data line when the scanning line is selected for black insertion writing, wherein the scanning line driving circuit includes: a shift register having the number of stages according to a plurality of scanning lines, where each stage shifts and outputs in sequence a start pulse having a predetermined width in accordance with the period of a clock signal; and logic circuits provided corresponding to the scanning lines and operating to determine the logical product of a signal outputted from the shift register of the stage corresponding to the scanning line and an enable signal supplied differently to every group which a given number of adjacent scanning lines have been grouped together, and then supply it as a scanning signal representing the selection of the scanning line, the enable signal corresponding to the group becomes, in a horizontal scanning period in which the image data writing is carried out for the scanning lines belonging to the group, an active level in a horizontal effective scanning period and an inactive level in a horizontal return line period; and in a horizontal scanning period in which the image data writing is not carried out for the scanning lines belonging to the group, an inactive level in the horizontal effective scanning period and an active level in the horizontal return line period, a data line driving circuit which supplies the data signal according to the gray scale of the pixel to the data line in the horizontal scanning period, and supplies a data signal making the pixel a black color to the data line in the horizontal return line period.
