Abstract
According to one embodiment, a control unit multiple-selects a first line for every N lines from a plurality of first lines. N is an integer greater than or equal to one. The control unit sets the multiple-selected first lines to a selection potential, and fixes potentials of non-selected first lines at least adjacent to the multiple-selected first lines at a first timing. The control unit causes the multiple-selected first lines to be in a floating state at a second timing after the first timing. The control unit selects one second line from the plurality of second lines and sets the one second line to a forming potential at a third timing after the second timing.
