Patent ID: 8384656

Claim:
A driving device for driving an electro-optical device, the driving device correcting an original image signal that indicates an image that is to be displayed in a display area of the electro-optical device, the driving device supplying the corrected image signal to a plurality of data lines in the display area of the electro-optical device, the data lines including groups of the data lines each comprising a predetermined number of data lines, the driving device comprising: an outputting section that divides the original image signal into a number of signal portions, the number corresponding to the number of groups of the data lines, the outputting section outputting the signal portions; an assigning section that assigns the signal portions to the data lines of corresponding group; a changing section that determines an order that the signal portions are to be supplied to the data lines of the corresponding group and changes the order into a changed order; a correcting section that corrects the signal portions to reduce a difference in brightness in the display area generated by the changed order of the signal portions; and a supplying section that supplies the corrected signal portions to the data lines in accordance with the changed order, wherein the changing section changes the sequential order of the assignment of each of the signal portions to the predetermined number of data lines that make up the corresponding group so as to reduce a difference in brightness in the display area of the electro-optical device, which is attributable to a change in the sequential order of the assignment of each of the signal portions to the predetermined number of data lines that make up the corresponding group.
