Patent ID: 8803776

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate; a liquid crystal composition sandwiched between the first and second substrates; a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged in the first substrate; a plurality of switching elements that each supply a video signal to the corresponding pixel electrode; a plurality of video signal lines for supplying the video signals to the switching elements; a plurality of scanning signal lines for supplying scanning signals for controlling the switching elements; a first driver circuit that outputs the video signals; and a second driver circuit that outputs the scanning signals, wherein the first and second driver circuits are formed on a single semiconductor chip, the liquid crystal display has a plurality of display modes that are driven by the first and second driver circuits, a control program for controlling the first and second driver circuits is stored in a memory element separated from the single semiconductor chip which the first and second driver circuits are formed on, and the control program includes command sequences, each comprised of a plurality of commands, for changing one of the display modes to another one of the display modes, the first and second driver circuits are coupled to receive the command sequences from the memory element and configured to execute the command sequences for changing the display mode.
