Abstract:
A display driving method for driving a display in which (nÃ—m) pieces of pixels are arranged at intersection points of n-pieces of scanning electrodes at predetermined intervals in a row direction and m-pieces of signal electrodes at predetermined intervals in a column direction, where n of said n-pieces is a positive integer and m of said m-pieces is a positive integer, by applying each bit of n-bits of parallel data of a shift register for shifting a start pulse synchronously with a first shift clock of one horizontal synchronous period to said n-pieces of scanning electrodes and by applying m-pieces of data signals to said m-pieces of signal electrodes, said display driving method comprising:a step of, after turning a power supply ON, supplying a second shift clock of a period shorter than said one horizontal synchronous period to said shift register for at least n-periods instead of said first shift clock, said n-periods corresponding to said n-pieces of scanning electrodes; and a step of stopping each bit of output data from said shift from transferring to n-pieces of scanning electrode drivers at least during a period corresponding to said n-periods.
