DISPLAY

摘要

A display comprises a panel in which a display area and a circuit part provided around the display area and adapted to drive the display area are fabricated integrally on an insulating base (1). The display area includes pixel electrodes arrayed in a matrix, common electrodes opposed to the pixel electrodes, and an electro-optical material held between the pixel electrodes and common electrodes. The circuit part includes a driver for writing a signal voltage on the pixel electrode side according to display data, a common driver (5) for applying a common voltage to the common electrode side, an offset circuit (51) having a coupling capacitor (C1) for generating a predetermined offset voltage V so as to control the level of the common voltage with respect to the signal voltage, and a start circuit (52) for precharging the coupling capacitor (C1) to the offset voltage V when the power supply is turned on and for discharging the coupling capacitor (C1) when the power supply is turned off. Thus the packaging is rationalized by installing a start circuit for the common driver in the display of system display structure.
