Display device, driver circuit therefor, and method of driving same

A driver circuit comprising:

• a plurality of output terminals;
• a plurality of output circuits less in number than said output terminals, said output circuits driving said output terminals, respectively, within a prescribed latch signal driving interval;
• and
• a control circuit that time-divisionally drives said output terminals by said output circuits such that said latch signal driving interval is divided into a plurality of subintervals for providing driving signals to respective corresponding ones of the plurality of output terminals, wherein at least one of said subintervals has a time duration different from time durations of the subinterval(s).

A driver circuit comprising:

• output terminals of N-number, where N is a natural number of at least 2;
• grayscale voltage selecting circuits of N-number that selects one grayscale voltage from a plurality of grayscale voltages in response to an image signal;
• a given number of amplifier circuits for impedance-converting said selected one grayscale voltage to output to said output terminals within a prescribed driving interval, said given number being smaller than N;
• and
• a change-over control circuit that performs a control including:
• driving said prescribed driving interval into at least (N+1) intervals;
• outputting, in a K-th interval, where K=1 to N, an output of a K-th grayscale selecting circuit to said amplifier circuit which further outputs an amplified control signal to a K-th output terminal;
• and
• outputting, in a least part of the other intervals than the K-th interval, a grayscale signal selected by the K-th grayscale voltage selecting circuit directly to said output terminals.
