<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a display device for reducing the image quality deterioration called vertical smear causing a difference in display luminance due to the presence or absence of a fluctuation in a signal line by a fluctuation in an effective value that occurs as a result of the fluctuation of voltage level in propagating the fluctuation of the signal line to a pixel electrode through a capacitor Cds in a panel while minimizing an increase of electric power consumption in a driving method wherein an alternating current period enabling the reduction of the electric power consumption is a frame period. <P>SOLUTION: The display device is installed with a switch for shorting all the signal lines in the panel and a switch for turning the output of a gray scale voltage generating section in a signal line driving circuit to high impedance while all the signal lines are shorted. As a result, the difference in the effective values generated by the presence or absence of the fluctuation in the signal line is reduced, the vertical smear can be reduced and the reconciliation of the lower electric power consumption and the higher image quality can be achieved. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
