Abstract
A driving circuit for a matrix display panel synchronizes composite video signals to drive a plurality of data lines and a plurality of scanning lines arranged in a matrix. The driving circuit blocks the data of the composite video signal approximately during the vertical blanking interval of the video signal. Further, during periods when signals are not applied to the data lines, the voltage level is maintained substantially equal on both the scanning and data lines. The RMS potential on the display is thereby reduced and higher contrast is provided. In an alternative embodiment, lines of data are also omitted at regular intervals during the effective display period.
