Abstract
A plurality of gate lines () connected to a gate driver () for supplying gate signals and a plurality of drain lines () connected to a drain driver () for supplying drain signals are provided on a substrate (). Pixels () are formed in the regions surrounded by these lines. Each of the pixels () includes a TFT (), a storing circuit () connected to the source () of the TFT () for storing a digital signal, and a signal selector () for selecting a signal A or signal B in response to the signal stored in the storing circuit () and supplying the selected signal to a display electrode (). Once a digital signal corresponding to a display image is written to the storing circuit () of each pixel (), an image can be continuously displayed, even when operation of the drivers () is stopped from the next frame, by continuing the operation of the storing circuit (). Because the driver operation or the like can be suspended, overall power consumption can be reduced.
