Abstract
Provided is a display device capable of correctly displaying an image when surplus outputs are produced within a driver, regardless of a shifting direction of a shift register within the driver, without bringing about increase in cost and increase in consumption current. A timing controller () is provided with a register () that can store data indicating the length of a horizontal back porch when a shifting direction of a shift register within a source driver () is in a forward direction and data indicating the length of the horizontal back porch when the shifting direction is in an inverse direction. A source-start-pulse generation unit () within the timing controller () refers to the data within the register () according to the shifting direction of the shift register, and generates one of a first source start pulse signal (SSP) for the forward direction and a second source start pulse signal (SSP) for the inverse direction.
