Liquid crystal display device

摘要

A liquid crystal display device is capable of generating gradation voltages for multilevel gradation, such as 256-level gradation, without increasing the chip size of video signal line driving means. The video signal line driving means for applying video signal voltages for multilevel gradation in accordance with m-bit display data is provided with a first gradation voltage generator for generating (2n+1) first gradation voltages, a selector for selecting first gradation voltages adjacent to each other out of (2n+1) first gradation voltages generated by the first gradation voltage generator in accordance with the bit values of high-order n bits of the m-bit display data, while keeping the magnitude relationship between the (2n+1) first gradation voltages unchanged, and a second gradation voltage generator for generating and outputting one of 2m-n gradation voltages dividing first gradation voltages adjacent to each other into 2m-n voltages from the first gradation voltages adjacent to each other selected by the selector in accordance with the bit values of low-order (m-n) bits of the display data.
