Abstract: A method of terminating a pair of transmission lines is changed over by terminal setting. Display data is supplied to a master drive circuit and (n?1)-pieces of drive circuits from a host computer via the pair of transmission lines in accordance with a differential serial transmission system. Each drive circuit includes an SELC terminal. When a voltage inputted to the SELC terminal is at a first voltage level, a resistor having a resistance value of Ra is connected between the pair of transmission lines in the master drive circuit thus terminating the pair of transmission lines, and the pair of transmission lines in the slave drive circuits is opened. When the voltage inputted to the SELC terminal is at a second voltage level which differs from the first voltage level, a resistor having a resistance value of (n×Ra) is connected between the pair of transmission lines.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes: pixel electrodes to each of which a potential corresponding to a gray-scale value is applied, for a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix in a display area, via a pixel transistor of each of the pixels; a common electrode forming, in cooperation with the pixel electrode, an electric field to align a liquid crystal composition; a plurality of scanning signal lines each connected in common to gates of the pixel transistors of the plurality of pixels constituting each of a plurality of rows forming the matrix; and a driver circuit setting, after powering on and before displaying an image in the display area, the common electrode into a high impedance state and then setting the scanning signal line to an inactive potential to cut off a source and a drain of the pixel transistor from each other.

Abstract: Provided is a drive circuit low in power consumption and high in display quality for a liquid crystal display device that is used in a small-sized portable device. The liquid crystal display device includes liquid crystal display elements and a liquid crystal driving circuit. The liquid crystal driving circuit is mounted to one of the four sides of a liquid crystal display panel, and is capable of outputting two-system counter electrode voltages. A variable resistor circuit having a resistance value which is variably adjusted by a register is used to correct and output a gray scale voltage according to a position of a relevant scanning signal line. Equalization is also performed by short-circuiting two counter electrode signal lines.
