Abstract:
A method for driving an electro-optical device, comprising:turning on or off a pixel by a subfield, the subfield being a unit obtained by dividing one field into subfields, according to a weighting of gray scale data indicating a gray scale level of the pixel, the pixel being positioned at a location corresponding to each intersection between a plurality of scanning lines and a plurality of data lines; and causing a reference time of weighting for the gray scale data to be shifted every scanning line and every subfield; a plurality of scanning lines being placed into a plurality of blocks, each of the blocks being selected in a predetermined order in each subfield, and the scanning line in which the reference time of weighting has arrived, being selected in a predetermined order in a selected block; and selection of one particular scanning line in the subfield and selection of a scanning line adjacent thereto in the next subfield being performed in an identically numbered horizontal scan period.
