Patent ID: 6943765

Claim:
A method for driving an electro-optical device that includes a plurality of switching elements provided corresponding to intersections of a plurality of scanning lines and a plurality of data lines, and a plurality of pixel electrodes provided corresponding to the plurality of switching elements, the method comprising: correcting an input image signal; generating a corrected image signal; splitting the corrected image signal into a plurality of channels; expanding the time base of the split image signals, whereby phase-expanded image signals, which are phase-expanded into the plurality of channels, are generated; sequentially selecting the scanning lines; and supplying, in a period during which each of the scanning lines is selected, the phase-expanded image signals corresponding to the data lines in each block, which include the plurality of data lines, in the step of generating the corrected image signal, the input image signal is corrected based on a correction signal generated based on an error in each channel, the error occurring when the phase-expanded image signals are generated.
