To provide a display device and its driving method free from lack of
writing time, which usually accompanies an increase in size of a display
device and enhancement in definition. Therefore, there is provided a
display device and a driving method in which x (x is a natural number
equal to or larger than 4) data lines are placed in each column to
simultaneously supply video signals to x pixels through the x data lines.
The present invention makes it possible to supply video signals to x
pixels simultaneously as opposed to conventional dot sequential driving
where a signal is supplied to one pixel at a time. Furthermore, a display
device of the present invention and its driving method make it possible
to supply video signals to (x.times.n) pixels at once as opposed to
conventional linear sequential driving where only n pixels in the first
to last (the last column is the n-th column) columns receive signals
simultaneously. Thus the present invention can make the speed of writing
video signals in pixels x times faster than prior art.
