Abstract
The display device of this invention has two types of DA converter for converting a digital image signal to an analog image signal; a first DA converter disposed in the peripheral area of a plurality of pixel elements and a second DA converter disposed within each of the pixel elements. The first DA converter converts the upper four-bit of a six-bit digital image signal and the second DA converter converts the remaining lower two-bit. This enables the simplification of the peripheral circuits of the pixel element, preventing size increase of the framing area of the display panel, while achieving the multiple-depth display with an increased number of the bits of the DA converter. In the display device with the built-in DA converter, the multiple-bit can be achieved while preventing the increase in the circuit size.
