Abstract
A display apparatus includes data lines, scanning lines arranged to cross the data lines, and pixel circuits aligning along the data lines and the scanning lines, such that one of the pixel circuits corresponds to each intersection between the data lines and the scanning lines. In addition, image signal lines transmit image signals, and switches connect the data lines to the image signal lines so that each of the data lines is connected to one of the image signal lines. The data lines are arranged such that adjacent data lines form a pair of data lines, and adjacent pairs of data lines are spaced apart from each other by two columns of pixel-circuits. Respective data lines of the pair of data lines are connected by the switches to two different image signal lines, and the switches connecting the pair of data lines to corresponding image signal lines are activated simultaneously.
