Abstract:
A display device, comprising:a display panel section including:a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged in a matrix pattern;a plurality of switching elements each arranged in correspondence to each pixel electrode;a plurality of scanning lines each connected in common to said switching elements corresponding to said pixel electrodes arranged in a same row direction, for transmitting a control signal for opening and closing said common-connected switching elements simultaneously;a plurality of video signal lines for transmitting video signals to said pixel electrodes arranged in a same column direction via said corresponding switching elements, respectively; andan opposing electrode arranged so as to be opposed to said pixel electrodes; anda video signal line driving circuit for generating a first timing signal according to a single reset signal received before video data transmitted via a video signal bus line are received; for selecting non-display data transmitted in synchronism with the single reset signal on the basis of the first timing signal; for transmitting the selected non-display data to all of said video signal lines simultaneously; after that, for selecting the transmitted video data on the basis of a second timing signal; and for transmitting the selected video data to said video signal line corresponding to the second timing signal,wherein said single reset signal does not include address information of non-display areas.
