Patent ID: 7663591

Claim:
A display device, comprising: scanning signal lines; data signal lines being orthogonal to the respective scanning signal lines; a display section on which pixels corresponding to respective intersections of the scanning signal lines and the data signal lines, the pixels being connected to the scanning signal lines and the data signal lines via switching sections; a scanning signal line drive circuit that drives the scanning signal lines; data signal line drive circuit including a plurality of individually-driven circuits, each of the plurality of individually-driven circuits acquiring a video signal in response to a start pulse and driving an identical number of data signal lines in response to a latch pulse in order to output the acquired video signal to the data signal lines, the plurality of individually-driven circuits being grouped into a first individually-driven circuit group and a second individually-driven circuit group, each of the first individually-driven circuit group and second individually-driven circuit group controlling acquisition of the video signal from a common data bus; and driver control means for outputting: a first start pulse and a first latch pulse both for driving the first individually-driven circuit group; and a second start pulse and a second latch pulse both for driving the second individually-driven circuit group, the first individually-driven circuit group being different from the second individually-driven circuit group, the first start pulse being different from the second start pulse, and the first latch pulse being different from the second latch pulse.
