A modulator includes a modulation circuit for generating modulation signals based on inputted luminance data and for outputting the modulation signals to a plurality of image display elements, each of which is driven by a potential difference between a selection potential applied within a predetermined time period by a selection circuit and the modulation signal. The modulation signal has a waveform which is a combination of a plurality of unit pulses, with the unit pulses having an identical width and n kinds of peak values A1 to An, with n being an integer greater than 1, and A1<. . . <An. Additionally, the unit pulses are combined in such a way that maximal peak value portions of the waveform of the modulation signal are dispersed, and that a rising portion and a falling portion of the waveform have a stair-step-like shape.
