Abstract:
An active matrix type display comprising:a pair of substrates each having at least one main surface, said main surfaces thereof facing each other; a plurality of pixels two-dimensionally arranged in a matrix on said pair of substrates, wherein said plurality of pixels are input and written on a two-dimensional block-by-block basis, each row of pixels in said block of pixels of said display comprising less than a complete row; scanning lines arranged corresponding to a row of pixels; signal lines arranged corresponding to a column of pixels; a row line driving circuit connected to said scanning lines for selecting pixels row by row; a column line driving circuit connected to said signal lines for writing a picture signal to the selected pixels; and a signal processing circuit supplied with a block segmented picture signal having M pixel signals in a column direction and N pixel signals in a row direction and for processing the block segmented picture signal (M and N are positive integers greater than 1), said signal processing circuit outputting the processed signal in block form to said column line driving circuit, wherein said row line driving circuit selects M row lines simultaneously and said column line driving circuit supplies the picture signal to the N signal lines simultaneously, and thereby the picture signal is written to M by N pixels simultaneously.
