Patent ID: 8184205

Claim:
An electro-optical device comprising: pixels that are provided corresponding to intersections of a plurality of scanning lines and a plurality of data lines and have gray scale levels in accordance with voltage levels of data signals supplied to the data lines corresponding to the pixels at a time when the scanning lines corresponding to the pixels are selected; image signal lines supplied with data signals that have voltage levels between a high voltage level and a low voltage level with respect to a predetermined reference electric potential; a sampling signal output circuit that sequentially outputs sampling signals in a predetermined order to each data line or to each two or more data lines grouped into blocks; sampling switches that are provided in the plurality of data lines and that sample the data signals supplied to the image signal lines to the data lines that correspond to the sampling switches in accordance with the sampling signals; a scanning line driving circuit that sequentially selects each of the plurality of scanning lines in a predetermined order; capacitors that are provided in the plurality of data lines and that each have a first end and a second end, the first ends being connected to the data lines corresponding to the capacitors; and inverted image signal lines connected to the second ends of the capacitors, and that are supplied with inverted data signals generated by inverting the voltage levels of the data signals supplied to the image signal lines with respect to a predetermined electric potential.
