A display data RAM has a storage area and a pre-charging circuit section. The
storage
area has LCD bit lines to be used for reading out display data stored in memory
cells. The pre-charging circuit section has pre-charging lines and preset lines.
Pieces of information of a particular order bit among the display data stored in
the memory cells can be read out by supplying a potential to a selected one of
the pre-charging lines. As a result, the power consumption of the display driver
can be reduced.
