Display device, display device drive method and electronic instrument

摘要

A display device is provided with a matrix panel possessing multiple scanning lines, multiple data lines, and display elements that are driven by scanning signals and data signals; a scanning line drive circuit that simultaneously selects multiple scanning lines from among said scanning lines and applies scanning voltage possessing a specified selection voltage pattern; and a data line drive circuit that determines the voltage to be applied to said data lines based on the comparison between said selection voltage pattern and the display data which indicates ON/OFF of the display elements of said matrix panel, and that applies the determined voltage to said data lines. When a single frame consists of multiple fields, said scanning line drive circuit drives each group of multiple scanning lines by using multiple different selection voltage patterns during a single field period and selects all scanning lines once during the single field period, and wherein said scanning line drive circuit and said data line drive circuit drive the scanning lines and data lines, respectively, based on the same selection voltage pattern by exchanging with each other the information on the selection voltage pattern to be used.
