Abstract
A display panel 13 having a plurality of pixels 14 each divided into P (P=3) sub-pixels 15a, 15b and 15c, and a source driver 12 for driving each pixel 14 in accordance with three J (=8)-bit data values corresponding to the sub-pixels 15a, 15b, and 15c, and a signal processing circuit 12 for distributing K(=12)-bit (K>J) input image data as M (M=6) time-shared frame data values and supplying the frame data values to the source driver 12 are arranged. 2K−J (=16) gray levels insufficient due to the difference between the numbers of bits of K-bit input image data and J-bit driving signals of the source driver 12 is realized by combinations of time-shared frame data of (P×M=18) ways performed for the sub-pixels 15a, 15b, and 15c in accordance with the M time-shared frame data values.
