  • Publication number: 20100231617
    Abstract: According to a data processing device for correcting an image signal which (i) is made up of plural pieces of pixel data and (ii) is externally supplied to a liquid crystal driving panel, a correction circuit includes an interpolation section for (i) obtaining first pixel data to be corrected and second pixel data which is for use in driving one of the plurality of data signal lines at timing earlier than timing at which the one of the plurality of data signal lines is driven in response to the first pixel data and (ii) correcting the first pixel data in accordance with a relationship between the second pixel data and the first pixel data. This provides a data processing device which can carry out a correction so that, in a case where a previously applied voltage have an effect on the charging states of respective pixels connected to a certain data signal line, such an effect is cancelled.
