Patent ID: 8207959

Claim:
A display device comprising: a plurality of pixels; a plurality of scanning lines which input a scanning voltage to the plurality of pixels; and a scanning line drive circuit which supplies the plurality of scanning lines with the scanning voltage, wherein the scanning lines are grouped into kN× . . . ×k2 groups, k being an integer of at least 1, N being an integer of 2 or more, the number of the scanning lines in each of the groups is up to k1, first to Nth groups of gate wirings are included, each of the first to Nth groups being composed of kn (1≦n≦N) gate wirings, and the scanning line drive circuit outputs a first selection scanning voltage which selects the scanning lines in each of the groups every horizontal scanning period to the first group of k1 gate wirings, outputs a second selection scanning voltage which selects the scanning lines in one of groups in a second stage where k2 groups constitute one unit every k1 horizontal scanning periods to the second group of k2 gate wirings, and outputs an mth selection scanning voltage which selects the scanning lines in one of groups in an mth stage where k(m−1) groups in a (m−1)th stage constitute one unit every (k(m−1)× . . . ×k1) horizontal scanning periods to an mth group of km gate wirings, m being an integer of 3 or more and N or less (3≦m≦N).
