Abstract
Each horizontal driving section and a driving control section of a display apparatus have a data communicating function. The driving control section has a first communicating section receiving data from an external device and a second communicating section communicating data with each horizontal driving section. The second communicating section adds individual identification information for identifying each horizontal driving section to the transferred data, and transfers the data in packet format. The horizontal driving section receives the data packet for it based on the identification information, and performs current driving for a display section. The driving control section adds the individual identification information to the control data to be transferred to each horizontal driving section corresponding to connecting form of the horizontal driving sections, and transfers the control data not concerned with connecting order of the horizontal driving sections. The horizontal driving section side performs a receiving process and lighting operation.
