Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0678850A1] The active matrix display device has a plurality of gate lines X provided on horizontal lines, a plurality of data lines Y provided on vertical lines, and a plurality of picture elements PXL provided at each intersection of both lines. The picture elements PXL provided horizontally and vertically constitute the display region 1. The vertical scanning circuit 2 scans vertically each gate line X sequentially, and selects picture elements on a respective one horizontal line every one horizontal period. The horizontal scanning circuit 3 scans each data line Y sequentially in one horizontal period, samples image signal Vsig, and writes by dot sequential scanning the image signal Vsig on picture elements PXL of a respective selected horizontal line. The data lines are defined in two sections, real data lines Y1, Y2, ...,YL provided in the display region 1, and dummy data lines YD1, YD2, YD3, and YD4 provided outside the display region, which dummy data lines intersect with the end section of the gate lines. The horizontal scanning circuit 3 scans horizontally the real data lines Y1, Y2,...,YL with a sampling timing overlapping a plurality of the real data lines, subsequently continues to scan the dummy data lines YD1, YD2, YD3 and YD4 with the overlapped sampling timing. Thereby, a band defect usually appearing on the side end of the screen when an active matrix display device is driven dot sequentially, is eliminated. <IMAGE>
