- the image data Q is obtained by converting a bit signal indicating lighting / non-lighting corresponding to each data electrode 22 in each subfield into a serial signal. Therefore, in this example, the image data Q includes data indicating lighting / non-lighting corresponding to each of the data electrode Dj ⁇ 1, the data electrode Dj, and the data electrode Dj + 1.
- the image data Q includes data “1, 0, 1” that is continuous in time.

- the shift register unit 141 has a function of taking out a plurality of pieces of continuous data at the same timing.
- the shift register unit 141 sequentially delays the image data Q in synchronization with the clock signal Dck using a plurality of latches 41 connected in series. Therefore, at a certain moment, the image data Qj-1 corresponding to the data electrode Dj-1 is output from the latch 41j-1, the image data Qj corresponding to the data electrode Dj is output from the latch 41j, and the data electrode Dj + 1 is output from the latch 41j + 1.
- the correct image data Q corresponding to the data electrode 22 ahead of the latch 41 is output from each latch 41.
- the signal output from the latch 41 changes at the next timing when the clock signal Dck changes.

- Each latch 42 is supplied with a write timing signal Le obtained by adjusting the delay time of the write timing signal Le0 generated by the timing generation circuit 35 in the write timing generation unit 145 as a synchronization signal. For example, an input signal is output using a change from Lo to Hi as a trigger.
- the write timing signal Le0 is, for example, a positive pulse waveform that periodically becomes Hi for one clock of the clock signal Dck and then becomes Lo.
- the period in which the write timing signal Le0 becomes Hi is equal to the period in which the write pulse is generated.
- the write timing signal Le0 is generated in the timing generation circuit 35 so that each latch 41 changes from Lo to Hi at the timing when correct data corresponding to the data electrode 22 ahead of the latch 41 is output.
- the latch 42 holds the output signal while the write timing signal Le is Lo. Therefore, each latch 42 operates to output a signal output from each latch 41 at a correct timing based on the write timing signal Le and hold the output signal. As a result, the signal output from the latch 42 becomes the image data DQ corresponding to the data electrode 22 ahead of the latch 42. For example, when the image data Qj is output from the latch 41j, the latch 42j takes in the image data Qj and outputs the image data DQj corresponding to the data electrode Dj.
- the write timing signal Le input as a synchronization signal to each latch 42 is applied to the panel 10 in the write timing generator 145 with respect to the write timing signal Le0 generated by the timing generator 35.

- this switching element is represented by a symbol representing an FET (Field Effect Transistor).
- the write pulse generator 43 generates a write pulse according to the image data DQ output from the latch 42. If the image data DQ is “1” (Hi), the switching element Tr1 that outputs the high-voltage side voltage Vd is turned on to apply the voltage Vd to the data electrode 22, and the image data DQ is “0” (Lo). For example, the switching element Tr ⁇ b> 2 that outputs the low voltage 0 (V) is turned on to apply the voltage 0 (V) to the data electrode 22.

- the change between the lines of the image data Qj-1 of the image data Qj-1 and the image data Qj + 1 of the data electrode Dj + 1 is in reverse phase to the change between the lines of the image data Qj (image data DQj-1 (i-1) and image data DQj + 1 (I-1) is different from the image data DQj (i-1), and the image data DQj-1 (i) and the image data DQj + 1 (i) are different from the image data DQj (i). ),
- the output L2j and the output R2j of the adjacent load calculation unit 60j are both “1”. Therefore, the control signal Cj is “1”. This is a pattern F described later.
- the load capacity of the data electrode Dj is the capacity Cg in the pattern A and the capacity (Cg + Cc) in the pattern B. Therefore, when the load capacitance of the data electrode Dj is equal to or less than the capacitance (Cg + Cc), the control signal Cj is “0”.
- the load capacitance of the data electrode Dj is the capacitance (Cg + 2Cc) in the pattern C and the pattern D, the capacitance (Cg + 3Cc) in the pattern E, and the capacitance (Cg + 4Cc) in the pattern F. Therefore, when the load capacitance of the data electrode Dj is greater than or equal to the capacitance (Cg + 2Cc), the control signal Cj is “1”.

- Any of “second write timing signal Le2” in which write timing signal Le0 is delayed by “second time T2” and “third write timing signal Le3” in which write timing signal Le0 is delayed by “third time T3” Is output as the write timing signal Le.
- the control signal C is “1”
- the write timing signal Le0 is output as the write timing signal Le.
- any one of the first write timing signal Le1, the second write timing signal Le2, and the third write timing signal Le3 is output as the write timing signal Le.
- the write timing signal Le is input to the latch 42 of the data latch unit 142 as a synchronization signal.
- the latch 42 outputs the image data DQ in synchronization with the write timing signal Le input as a synchronization signal, and the write pulse generator 43 generates a write pulse in synchronization with the image data DQ.
- the write pulse generator 43 outputs a write pulse synchronized with the write timing signal Le0.
- the control signal C is “0”, that is, when the load capacitance of the data electrode 22 is equal to or less than the capacity (Cg + Cc)

- the output buffer of the write pulse generator 43 has a current capacity (current supply capability) that can drive a capacitive load having a capacity (Cg + 4Cc) when the driving load of the data electrode 22 is maximized. ing. Therefore, when the driving load of the data electrode 22 is reduced, the amount of current (peak current) that instantaneously flows from the write pulse generator 43 to the data electrode 22 when the write pulse is generated increases. At this time, if the rising timings of the write pulses output from the data driver 40 are aligned, the timing at which the peak current flows is aligned. Therefore, a very large current instantaneously flows from the data driver 40 to the data electrode 22 and is large. Unnecessary radiation may occur.
- the control signal C becomes “0”, and the write pulse generator 43 outputs the first write timing signal Le1 or the second A write pulse synchronized with the write timing signal Le2 or the third write timing signal Le3 is output.

At this time, if the change between the lines of the image data Qj-1 of the data electrode Dj-1 is in phase with the change between the lines of the image data Qj and changes from “0” to “1”, it is necessary to charge the capacitor Ccl.

Further, when the change between the lines of the image data Qj + 1 of the data electrode Dj + 1 is in phase with the change between the lines of the image data Qj and changes from “0” to “1”, it is not necessary to charge the capacitor Ccr. Therefore, the capacitance Ccr is also substantially zero. Therefore, the load capacitance (equivalent capacitance) generated at the data electrode Dj at this time is the capacitance Cg. This is the “pattern A” shown in FIG.

- Cg + Cc capacitance Cc
- the change between the lines of the image data Qj + 1 of the data electrode Dj + 1 is in phase with the change between the lines of the image data Qj.
- the capacitance Ccr is substantially 0, but writing The pulse generator 43j has to charge the capacitor Ccl against the reverse phase image data Qj-1, and the current required for charging the data electrode Dj is 2 when the image data Qj-1 does not change between lines. Double.
