PURPOSE: To considerably reduce the peak current flowing in a display device by dividing a line electrode family into plural parallel electrode sub-families which receive control voltages mutually different in phase. CONSTITUTION: Four line electrodes 12 are divided into two line electrode sub- families. In one of the two sub-families, electrodes 12-1 and 12-3 receive s potential Ve from a voltage generator through line circuits CI11 and CI13. In the other of the sub-families electrodes 12-2 and 12-4 receive a potential -Ve from the voltage generator through circuits CI12 and CI14, and this potential -Ve has the phase opposite to that of the potential Ve. An address generator 22c supplies a potential Uc or Uca to a column electrode 18. Thus, the line electrode family is divided into two parallel electrode sub-families to reduce the voltage flowing in the display device. |
