Undue power consumption is reduced in the capacitance between data electrodes
during addressing in a display panel. The power consumption associated with the
capacitance is reduced to half as compared with the conventional panel, because
the current associated with the discharge of the capacitance is independent of
the power supply in the case of a combination of "L reset", where the capacitance
between data electrodes is discharged through a backward current path on the current
sink terminal side, and "H reset", where the capacitance between data electrodes
is discharged through a backward current path on the current supply terminal side.
