Abstract: There is provided a driving circuit that drives an electro-optic device by outputting data signals that are subjected to serial-to-parallel conversion into m (m is a natural number greater than or equal to 2) channels through m image signal lines to a plurality of data lines. The driving circuit includes an adjusting section that adjusts the m-channel data signals so that, when a reference signal whose signal level is a reference level is input, the m-channel data signals at least partly reach signal levels different from the reference level for each channel, and the differences between the signal levels and the reference level fall within a predetermined range; and an interchanging section that interchanges the adjustment values adjusted by the adjusting section among the m-channel data signals every predetermined period.
