Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal device comprising: a plurality of pixels disposed in the shape of a matrix of n rows×m columns, where n and m are natural numbers equal to or larger than two; n scanning lines; 2m data lines including pairs of a first data line and a second data line for each column of the plurality of pixels; and a data line driving circuit that generates a first gray scale voltage corresponding to higher bits acquired by dividing gray scale data of plural bits into the higher bits and lower bits and generates a second gray scale voltage corresponding to the lower bits, wherein each one of the plurality of pixels includes a first switching element and a second switching element which are controlled to be turned on or off by the scanning lines, a first pixel electrode to which the first or second gray scale voltage is alternatively supplied from the first data line through the first switching element, and a second pixel electrode to which the second or first gray scale voltage not supplied to the first pixel electrode is supplied from the second data line through the second switching element, and the data line driving circuit generates the first gray scale voltage corresponding to k higher bits acquired by dividing the gray scale data of 2k, where k is a natural number equal to or larger than one, bits into the k higher bits and k lower bits and generates the second gray scale voltage corresponding to the k lower bits.
