A novel driving method is provided in which source line inverting drive or
dot inverting drive is performed for a case of driving a plurality of
source lines by one D/A converter circuit in a source signal line driver
circuit of an active matrix image display drive that corresponds to
digital image signal input. In a first driving method of the present
invention, two systems of grey-scale electric power supply lines are
supplied to a source signal line driver circuit in order to obtain output
having differing polarities from a D/A converter circuit, switches for
connecting to the two systems of grey-scale electric power supply lines
are prepared in each D/A converter circuit, the grey-scale electric power
supply lines connected to each D/A converter circuit are switched in
accordance with a control signal input to the switches, and source line
inverting drive or dot inverting drive are performed.
