For a gradation displaying operation of an electro-optical device, a gradation display method and an electro-optical device therefor which can be controlled with a digital signal, and which is hard to be affected by variation in characteristics between elements and can achieve high gradation display are provided. In the active matrix type of electro-optical device and method, the input analog signal is converted to a numerical value of N-radix notation, and pulses whose pulse height and width correspond to the numerical value. By applying these plural pulses to each picture element electrode, an average voltage of one frame of an image can be made an arbitrary value to finally display an intermediate color tone or gradation. The display device comprises a device for converting an input analog signal to a digital signal, a device for converting the digital signal to a numerical value of N-radix notation or a digital signal corresponding thereto (including digital signal), and a device for inputting this signal to an active matrix type device.
