In display-OFF-control, in the case where a scan electrode is driven by using voltage levels V3, VC, and MV3 and a signal electrode is driven by using voltage levels V1 and MV, the voltage levels V1 and MV1 are alternately output in a polarity inversion cycle while fixedly outputting the voltage level VC to the scan electrode. The voltage level MV1 is set at VC when V1 is output, and the voltage level MV1 set at VC is fixedly output to the signal electrode. In display-ON-control, the voltage lev...

In forward scanning, a timing control unit outputs the display data in the same sequence as the input display data. In backward scanning, on the other hand, the timing control unit inverts the output sequence of the display data for one line (for one horizontal cycle). Upon input of a scan direction control signal indicating backward scanning, the timing control unit executes sequence change processing by using line memory. The display data in which the sequence of the pixel data is reversed is ...
