Abstract:
1. A driving method of a display panel having a plurality of scan electrodes arranged in the column direction and a plurality of data electrodes arranged in the row direction of a screen, comprising: a line sequential addressing for controlling potential of the data electrode in synchronization with row selection by individual potential control of the scan electrode, wherein, when n-th display data as well as (n+1)th display data are different between the neighboring data electrodes and n-th display data are different from (n+1)th display data in each of the data electrodes, stored charge due to capacitance between the neighboring data electrodes is discharged by connecting one of the data electrodes to a power source line and by connecting the other data electrode to the power source line via a forward direction diode before switching the potential corresponding to the n-th display data to the potential corresponding to the (n+1)th display data.
