  • Patent number: 11257446
    Abstract: A plurality of pieces of serial data are supplied to a liquid crystal display device from an outside. An SI signal selection circuit switches processing target data to be captured between one piece of serial data included in the plurality of pieces of serial data and the plurality of pieces of serial data in accordance with a serial data selection signal. The processing target data captured by the SI signal selection circuit is converted into parallel data by a data conversion circuit. In accordance with one clock pulse of a serial clock, serial-parallel conversion processing is performed in parallel on a plurality pieces of serial data.

  • Publication number: 20190259345
    Abstract: Luminance unevenness in a display area having an irregular shape is suppressed. An edge of the display area includes an irregularly-shaped edge which is curved. An end part of a signal switching circuit is located on an outer side of the irregularly-shaped edge. A driver is provided so as not to overlap with the end part of the signal switching circuit, as viewed in a first direction. An nth scanning signal line crosses the irregularly-shaped edge, passes through a space between the irregularly-shaped edge and the end part of the signal switching circuit, and is drawn to the driver, as viewed from above.

  • Publication number: 20190259347
    Abstract: A display device includes: an mth scanning signal line to which a plurality of sub pixels are connected; an nth scanning signal line to which a sub pixel is connected, the number of sub pixels which are connected to the nth scanning signal line being lower than the number of sub pixels which are connected to the mth scanning signal line; and a driver circuit which includes a plurality of output circuits and which drives the mth scanning signal line and the nth scanning signal line, an mth one of the plurality of output circuits including an mth output transistor connected to the mth scanning signal line, an nth one of the plurality of output circuits including an nth output transistor connected to the nth scanning signal line, a driving capability of the nth output transistor being lower than that of the mth output transistor.
