Patent ID: 7098881

Claim:
The display device comprising: a display panel having a plurality of pixel portions arranged in a matrix; a scanning circuit to scan lines of said pixel portions; and a driver circuit to provide said pixel portions with a gray-scale voltage corresponding to display data and a precharge voltage different from the gray-scale voltage corresponding to said display data, and a control circuit to control said precharge voltage based on a value of said display data, wherein said driver circuit provides said precharge voltage to said pixel portions prior to providing the gray-scale voltage corresponding to said display data, during one period of scan horizontal periods in which said scanning circuit scans said pixel portions, wherein the polarity of said gray-scale voltage is equal to the polarity of said precharge voltage, and, wherein said driver circuit includes an amplifier circuit to generate said precharge voltage by amplifying the gray-scale voltage corresponding to said display data in accordance with a signal from said control circuit.
