Abstract
The memory interface circuit converts an input data signal into multi-scan data signals used for a multi-scan type liquid crystal display. The memory interface circuit includes: a memory for storing one frame of the input data signal corresponding to the display panel, and a control circuit for controlling write/read operations for the memory so that the input data signal is sequentially written in the memory in a single-scan manner, and that data stored in the memory is read out as first and second multi-scan signals in a multi-scan manner. The control circuit controls timing of read operations so that a read operation for the second multi-scan signal is started a predetermined time after that for the first multi-scan signal is started, the predetermined time being equal to a delay time of a write operation of the input data corresponding to the second portion with respect to that corresponding to the first portion.
