Abstract: According to the present invention, a method for driving a display device, including a display panel having a plurality of pixels and a plurality of data lines connected to the respective pixels, is provided. The method includes the steps of: sampling data in a first horizontal interval; storing the data sampled in the first horizontal interval; updating output data based on the stored data in the middle of sampling next data in a second horizontal interval next to the first horizontal interval; and outputting a voltage corresponding to the output data to a corresponding one of the data lines.

Abstract: The driving circuit of this invention for a display device for displaying a plurality of gray levels in accordance with digital data including a first bit portion and a second bit portion includes: a first voltage dividing circuit for dividing a plurality of gray level voltages so as to generate a plurality of first interpolation voltages between the plurality of gray level voltages; a first selection circuit for selecting a first voltage and a second voltage different from the first voltage among the plurality of gray level voltages and the plurality of first interpolation voltages in accordance with the first bit portion of the digital data; a second voltage dividing circuit for dividing the first voltage and the second voltage so as to generate a plurality of second interpolation voltages between the first voltage and the second voltage; and a second selection circuit for selecting one voltage among at least one of the first voltage and the second voltage and the plurality of second interpolation voltages.
