Abstract
A liquid crystal display apparatus includes: one of a pair of substrates being transparent and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the pair of substrates; the one substrate including a plurality of scanning wirings, a plurality of signal wirings, a plurality of thin film semiconductor devices formed on intersections of the scanning wirings and the signal wirings, and a display electrode; and the other substrate including an opposed electrode. The apparatus further includes: first relay buses extended continuously over a width of said signal wirings, and second relay buses divided the width of signal wirings into a plurality of blocks; a relay circuit formed between the first and second relay buses for each of the blocks; a data latch read the display data in sequence through the second relay buses to latch the display data of one block amount; a memory circuit which reads out the display data of the one block amount simultaneously; a level shifter circuit which reads out a content of the memory circuit to change a logical voltage; and a D/A circuit which converts an output from the level shifter circuit into an analog voltage to drive the signal wirings.
