A driving circuit of display device includes digital/current converting
(DCC) circuits one for each data line. The DCC circuit operates to charge
a capacitor with a reference current according to a supplied signal from
a shift register. The DCC circuit stores a current value of the reference
current and outputs it to a data line via a switching element that has
been turned on by a digital image data signal (H) of a single line
supplied from a line latch. The output value of each DCC circuit is reset
one after another in every select scan period in which an OFF signal is
sent to all the data lines. In this way, the reset of the output value
and the output of the image data signal can be successively carried out
within one frame period, enabling the data to be applied to the pixel
circuit with the DCC circuits provided one for each data line. This
simplifies the driving circuit that drives the pixel circuits provided
with an electro-optic element and disposed in a matrix.
