Patent ID: 8319760

Claim:
A display device comprising: a pixel section having pixel circuits arranged to form a matrix with at least a plurality of columns, pixel data being written to each of the pixel circuits via a switching element; at least one scan line disposed to be associated with rows of the pixel circuits and configured to control the conduction of the switching elements; a plurality of signal lines disposed to be associated with columns of the pixel circuits and configured to convey the pixel data; a horizontal driving circuit having a plurality of signal drivers, the plurality of signal drivers being associated with a plurality of groups into which the signal lines are divided, and being configured to convey image data supplied to the signal lines, wherein each of the plurality of signal drivers conveys the image data to the associated signal line in response to a separate drive pulse, and the drive pulses supplied to the signal drivers are shifted in phase from each other; a multiphase clock data generator that includes a plurality of counter flip-flops configured to receive trigger points signals shifted in phase from a timing controller in order to divide in frequency the drive pulse at a higher-than-normal frequency so as to supply the drive pulses shifted in phase from each other to the signal drivers; and said multiphase clock data generator being configured to divide the image data and to rearrange the divided pieces of data into a data arrangement suitable for input to the signal drivers.
