METHOD OF DRIVING ELECTRO-OPTICAL DEVICE, CIRCUIT FOR DRIVING ELECTRO-OPTICAL DEVICE, ELECTRO-OPTICAL DEVICE, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

摘要

Disclosed is a method of driving an electro-optical device such as a liquid crystal display device including a plurality of scanning electrodes and a plurality of signal electrodes which are formed such that the plurality of scanning electrodes cross the plurality of signal electrodes, wherein the scanning electrodes are organized into groups each consisting of a plural number of scanning electrodes to be selected at the same time, and scanning electrodes are selected on a group-by-group basis according to the MLS (Multi-Line Selection) scheme. The amplitude of a voltage applied to the scanning electrodes is set to be equal to the amplitude of a voltage applied to the signal electrodes. This allows circuits such as driving circuit, a power supply circuit to be constructed in a simple fashion. This driving method is also employed to drive an electro-optical device constructed in a multiple-fold matrix structure.
