Abstract
To provide a display device and its driving method free from lack of writing time, which usually accompanies an increase in size of a display device and enhancement in definition. Therefore, there is provided a display device and a driving method in which x (x is a natural number equal to or larger than 4) data lines are placed in each column to simultaneously supply video signals to x pixels through the x data lines. The present invention makes it possible to supply video signals to x pixels simultaneously as opposed to conventional dot sequential driving where a signal is supplied to one pixel at a time. Furthermore, a display device of the present invention and its driving method make it possible to supply video signals to (x×n) pixels at once as opposed to conventional linear sequential driving where only n pixels in the first to last (the last column is the n-th column) columns receive signals simultaneously. Thus the present invention can make the speed of writing video signals in pixels x times faster than prior art.
