Abstract: In a display device of the present invention, a total fluctuation calculation portion (23) included in a display control circuit (200) calculates total amounts of potential fluctuations of drive video signals to be applied to video signal lines during one frame period based on external display data signals (DATs). For a pixel formation portion to be provided with a display data signal (DATp) (corresponding to the next display row of the previous frame) received from frame memory (22), a data correction portion (24) performs correction to compensate for impact to be caused by potential fluctuations of an opposite video signal line adjacent but not connected to the pixel formation portion. As a result, the instant delta-arrangement color display device allows horizontal streaks, which are caused by potential fluctuations of opposite video signal lines as mentioned above, to be reduced or eliminated using a simplified configuration.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a video signal line drive circuit of a display device. An object of the present invention is to, when gradation conversion is performed in the display device using an error diffusion method, provide a display with a smooth gradation change even at boundaries of display blocks. In an error diffusion operation circuit (36) of a source driver unit (302), an error diffusion process is performed for each pixel based on, in addition to image data (Da) for a display block of the source driver unit (302), image data (Da) for areas near boundaries between the display block of the source driver unit (302) and display blocks of source driver units (301, 303) in previous and subsequent stages. A video signal is generated based on error-diffused image data (Db) generated by the error diffusion process.
