Abstract
Each of a plurality of source lines is connected to a video signal line via an analog switch and a read-out switch, which are turned ON/OFF by a source line driving circuit. When the analog switch of the source line is turned ON and the read-out switch thereof is turned OFF, the selected source line is connected to the video signal line, thereby writing a video signal to a storage capacitor of a picture element via a picture element transistor. When the analog switch of the source line is turned OFF and the read-out switch thereof is turned ON, a signal stored in a storage capacitor is read out from the source line to the read-out line via the picture element transistor. The read-out line is a single line shared by the plurality of source lines.
