Abstract: Provided is a method capable of performing serial transmission of data whose data values change in short fixed cycles, while suppressing an increase in power consumption. In a liquid crystal controller, data sequence conversion is performed on data included in an input image signal by a first data sequence conversion circuit and a second data sequence conversion circuit every predetermined period of time. The data sequence conversion is performed by reversing the values of predetermined bits of each data. The data obtained after the data sequence conversion is transmitted, as a digital video signal, to a source driver. In the source driver, the same data sequence conversion as that performed by the liquid crystal controller is performed on each data included in the digital video signal by a first data sequence restoring circuit and a second data sequence restoring circuit.
