The display device of this invention has a pixel element electrode 80, a
plurality of drain signal lines 61 for supplying the digital image
signals D0 D2, a plurality of capacitance elements C0 C2 with weighed
capacitance value corresponding to the digital image signals D0 D2, a
refresh transistor RT for initializing the voltage of the pixel element
electrode 80 to the voltage Vsc, and charge transfer transistors TT0 TT2
for supplying the charge accumulated in the capacitance elements C0 C2 to
the pixel element electrode 80. An image is displayed by supplying the
analog image signal corresponding to the digital image signals D0 D2 to
the pixel element electrode 80. The configuration of the peripheral
circuits of the pixel element portion is simplified, leading to the
reduction of the framing area of the panel.
