Abstract: A liquid crystal panel (2) includes scanning signal lines (31) for supplying scanning signals to gate electrodes (20) of TFTs (14), and data signal lines (32) for supplying data signals to data electrodes (24) of TFTs. The liquid crystal panel further includes auxiliary capacitive electrode pads (27a) for use in forming auxiliary capacitance and an auxiliary capacitive lines (33) so as not to generate a capacitive bond with the scanning signal lines. The liquid crystal panel is driven at a rewriting frequency of a screen of not more than 30 Hz. As a result, the liquid crystal panel can be driven at a low consumption power while maintaining a desirable display quality of the liquid crystal panel.

Abstract: An image display device includes a display device driving circuit having a scanning signal driving section for outputting display scanning signals according to display data with respect to respective scanning signal lines for displaying an image which is in accordance with the display data with respect to pixels which are disposed in a matrix, and the display device driving circuit includes a control section for controlling the output of the display scanning signals from the scanning signal line driving section to the respective scanning signal lines based on a transition instruction signal for making a transition of output of the display scanning signals to the respective scanning signal lines from successive output to simultaneous output so that the display scanning signals are simultaneously outputted to the plurality of scanning signal lines.
