Digial driving type color display device

Abstract

A digital color display device comprising a display (12) wherein display elements for displaying respective pixels of three colors are disposed as a matrix and are shifted by 1 pixel or 1.5 pixel in every row, and a driving circuit (13a, 13b) for successively switching respective chrominance signals of the three colors and supplying them to the driving electrode of each column of the display (12), the driving circuit (13a, 13b) including switching means for switching between a first supply mode for alternately supplying each of the chrominance signals of the three colors by successively switching all the signals and a second supplying mode for alternately supplying two of the chrominance signals selected from the above three chrominance signals, and further including reverse switching means (2, 3, 4, 21) for reversing the supplying order of the three or the two chrominance signals. In this arrangement, either the display (12) of 1 pixel shifting or the display (12) of 1.5 pixel shifting can be used as the display, and the dividing and free disposition of the driving circuits (13 a, 13b) can be made possible.
