Abstract:
1. A digital display device for making gradation display by pulse width modulation, said display device comprising: a pixel array having a two dimensional array of pixels including an electrooptic element and incorporating a memory in a form of a matrix, a scanning line for each row and a signal line for each column; horizontal driving means for inputting display data having a low gradation level subfield to a high gradation level subfield as one block unit for each scanning line, said subfields corresponding to each bit of the display data defining gradation levels of said pixels and having a period corresponding to gradation, sequentially transferring said display data by load latch circuits in a plurality of stages according to period length of said subfield, and supplying said display data to said signal line; and vertical driving means for selecting and scanning pixels of said pixel array unit in a row unit and performing scanning while jumping rows so as to write said display data supplied in said block unit from said horizontal driving means to pixels of said pixel array unit; and further wherein said horizontal driving means has said load latch circuits equal in number to the number of said subfields are greater than 2.
