Patent ID: 7019726

Claim:
A display apparatus, comprising: a plurality of gate lines provided in one direction of a substrate; a plurality of drain lines provided in a direction intersecting with said gate lines; and a plurality of display pixels, each of which is selected by a scan signal supplied from corresponding one of said plurality of gate lines, and which is supplied with an image signal from corresponding one of said plurality of drain lines; wherein each of said plurality of display pixels comprises: a display element; a first display circuit having a storing circuit, for storing a digital image signal from said corresponding one of drain lines in response to a scan signal from said corresponding one of gate lines, and a signal selector which is operated based on data stored at said storing circuit for selecting an output signal from among two or more display signals and supplying said selected signal to said display element; and a second display circuit having a storage capacitor for storing an analog image signal from said corresponding one of drain lines in response to a scan signal from said corresponding one of gate lines, wherein the signal stored in said storage capacitor is supplied to said display element; wherein said display pixel further comprises a display circuit selector for selectively supplying an image signal from said corresponding one of drain lines to said first or second display circuit; and further including an output selector which selectively supplies data stored in one of said first display circuit and said second display circuit to said display element.
