Abstract

A driver circuit for use in an active matrix display having switching devices at pixels. The driver circuit uses no shift registers. Random access to signal lines or scanning lines can be obtained. The display quality is improved. The production yield is improved. Also, lower electric power consumption and higher-speed operation can be accomplished. Data about gray levels assumes the form of digital values and is supplied to the driver circuit. The signal lines or scanning lines are selected by an address decoder circuit.
