Abstract
An electro-optical device includes a unit circuit and a signal generating circuit. The unit circuit includes a first element section that controls a first electro-optical element to a gradation level corresponding to a level of a data signal, and a second element section that controls a second electro-optical element to a gradation level corresponding to a level of a data signal. When data signals having an identical level are applied to the first element section and the second element section, the gradation level of the first electro-optical element is lower than the gradation level of the second electro-optical element. The signal generating circuit generates data signals having different levels according to a gradation value specified for the unit circuit. When the gradation value is within a first gradation range, the signal generating circuit applies to the first element section a data signal whose level is determined so that the first electro-optical element is controlled to a gradation level corresponding to the gradation value. When the gradation value is within a second gradation range higher than the first gradation range, the signal generating circuit applies to the second element section a data signal whose level is determined so that the second electro-optical element is controlled to a gradation level corresponding to the gradation value.
